Description
Even if she’s a monster?
Rebecca Carter and her daughter Monica, nicknamed Moonflower, travel the American West alone and isolated. Wherever they go, bodies are left behind.
Special Agent Marc Donner of the FBI has been tracking a serial killer for the best part of two years. A murderer who kills only men. All of them with their throats opened, their bodies bled out and their spinal cords severed. The killer leaves no trace, no clues – only a trail of corpses.
After all this time, Donner has gleaned only a handful of facts from the few witnesses and snippets of CCTV footage available. He’s hunting a middle-aged woman who drives a van with blacked-out windows and false plates. Often, she poses as a child online to lure in her prey. But it’s never been enough to track her down – until now.
And so begins a cat-and-mouse game between Donner and his prey, Rebecca and Moonflower. But who is the actual hunter – and who is the actual prey? Perhaps Moonflower isn’t the child that her mother claims she is. Perhaps she’s something else – and as Donner puts everything on the line to capture them, perhaps he isn’t prepared to face what is really out there...
Blood Like Mine is the thrilling and terrifying story of a mother’s love, a daughter’s devotion, a man’s obsession – and the darkness that lives within us all.

I am not normally one for horror books and this contains strong horror themes throughout mixed in with a taut crime thriller, the story of a woman and her daughter on the run. A very dark and compelling tale that involves Rebbecca Carter and her daughter Monica travelling in an old van through Colorado with only have limited money and food. They are both on the run and FBI Agent Marc Donner is on their case, slowly trying to track them down. He believes they are responsible for some extremely gruesome murders and will leave no stone unturned until he finds them.
This is a story of a mother’s love for her daughter and what lengths she will go to to protect her and keep her safe. I really think it is best that the least you know the better when reading this book. As the story unfolds there many OMG moments and you are kept on the edge of your seat, the suspense and tension are rife. The pace is fast, and the characters excellently portrayed taking you on this horrifying journey that will completely capture your imagination and have you reeling throughout.
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for an advanced copy of the book, all opinions expressed are my own.
