BLOOD LIKE MINE by Stuart Neville is the thrilling pursuit of a mother-daughter serial killer duo. The reasons why they kill and who they kill will stun readers as they travel across a snowy landscape one step ahead of Special Agent Marc Donner, a man escaping his own demons. Rebecca Carter and her daughter Moonflower are constantly on the move.
Living in RV parks, avoiding others, and constantly searching for sustenance. Moonflower yearns for a normal life, but all that changed fifteen years ago in a park on a snowy night. Now, Rebecca will do anything in her power to make sure her daughter stays alive and safe. As they continue to travel and seek out victims, SA Marc Donner is closing in on their location. When they meet for the first time, nothing goes as planned, and Agent Donner realizes he is up against something far more formidable than he could ever imagine.
BLOOD LIKE MINE places a mother in a horrifying situation with no good options. Her bond with her daughter is unbreakable, but it leads them to do gruesome and terrifying acts, justified only by how they select their victims—people they believe deserve it. The cat-and-mouse pursuit of the duo is perilous and full of action with terrifying results. Agent Donner is struggling with his own life, estranged from his family, but doggedly in pursuit of this prolific killing team. As Rebecca tries to keep her daughter safe, she realizes Moonflower is changing, and before long, she may have no control over the situation at all. Furthermore, Rebecca avoids the possibility that on some level she is addicted to the killing herself. Pulse-pounding dark writing drives this horror/thriller novel that poses the question of how far would you go for someone you love.
