Blood Like Mine

Blood Like Mine by Stuart Neville

I wasn't sure where this book was going until suddenly, I did and it was terrifying.

Rebecca and Moonchild are running from something. They have to remain hidden but what they are running from is breathing down their necks and the danger is too close.

This was a really fabulous twist on a vampire tale. Rebecca isn't coping. They are both living out of their van and they are being hunted. Staying one step ahead on no money is taking its toll.

It's split between 2 POV, Rebeccas and Special Agent Donner. It wasn't fast paced enough for me but the story was entertaining enough that it kept me engaged. I loved the vampire lore and it was a really well done horror/thriller.

4 stars

This book offers a captivating narrative that stands out due to its originality. The characters are well-developed, each with their own unique arcs that enhance the story. Their growth feels authentic, allowing readers to connect with their journeys on a deeper level. Overall, it's a compelling tale that combines an imaginative plot with rich character development, making it a worthwhile read

I like that this book is telling a different kind of serial killer story. Rebecca is not really a likable character, but she is not trying to be liked. She is trying to protect her daughter. Some of the personal life about the detective didn't feel necessary, but it did provide a view of parenthood that competes with Rebecca. I was a little confused at the beginning about what was going on with Rebecca and her daughter, but it didn't remain a secret for too long. I think some people will love the secret between Rebecca and her daughter, but it isn't what I was wanting to read.
If you like a serial killer thriller with a horror twist, you will like this one.
