The Blood Trilogy Series

An undead mother and daughter face down a strange community of killers in the fantastically sinister conclusion of the Blood Trilogy.

Two and a half years have passed since the events in Blood Like Ours. Rebecca and Moonflower, now both immortal blood-feeders, have been living nomadically, preying on catfished unsavory characters across the American West and moving on before anyone notices them. One night their mark turns on them, leading them into a storage unit where a group of men trap them. The group is led by Tom Burden, an electrician who freelances for a shadowy FBI initiative for hunting down supernatural predators.

Rebecca and Moonflower have not been trapped for execution–no, the FBI has a proposal for them. They are to head to a town called Solace on the outskirts of Seattle. Solace is an entire town of people like Rebecca and Moonflower. Tom accompanies Rebecca and Moonflower north, and as he and Rebecca unwillingly become closer, he confesses his own tortured history: the father of a daughter who was killed by someone like Rebecca; a father who was then tried for his own daughter’s murder. His vendetta against her kind has been softened by his new relationship with this family.

When they arrive in Solace, a town where the living and undead live in harmony and safety, where Tom is welcomed for his electrician skills and Moonflower has a chance to be a child again, the whole thing feels too good to be true. And maybe it is. Seething under the peaceful surface is an undercurrent of violence, a ruling order with ruthless plans…

In this chilling follow-up to Blood Like Mine by “Stephen King’s true heir” (Will Dean), one mother faces the ultimate supernatural horror: the monster she must become to protect her child.

El Paso, Texas: Rebecca Carter awoke on a morgue table with only two desires: to find her daughter, Moonflower; and to sate her gnawing hunger. Rebecca sets out on a desperate quest, fighting her murderous craving for blood, and pursued by a vengeful FBI agent.

Alone in the wild, Monica Carter survives on whatever small prey she can hunt down. But she needs more. One night, a young man lures her through the mountain scrub with the scent of human blood, promising he and his little brother will feed her and keep her safe. Somehow these brothers know her nickname—Moonflower—and the truth of what she is. She needs them—but can she trust them?

In this breathtaking follow-up to Blood Like Mine, Stuart Neville brings to life the ultimate horror: a mother who has been separated from her daughter, and who will stop at nothing to be reunited.

“A gruesome, action-packed monster novel about a mother and daughter with a terrible secret, on the run from an obsessed and crumbling detective . . . Terrific.” —The New York Times Book Review

In Stuart Neville’s horror debut, a mother’s undying love and a daughter’s insatiable hunger carve a bloody trail across the highways of the Southwest.

On a cold December night, single mother Rebecca Carter drives her van into a snowbank to avoid hitting an elk on a desolate mountain highway. She is at the end of her rope, out of money and food. Still, she refuses help from a passing stranger. Rebecca’s adolescent daughter, Moonflower, is on the run from a grisly secret, and the last thing they can afford is to be remembered.

Meanwhile, Special Agent Donner of the FBI has been hunting down a gruesome serial killer who drains their victims of blood before severing their spinal cords. As Agent Donner’s investigation brings him closer to the Carters, the life that Rebecca has fought so hard to hold together for her daughter becomes increasingly imperiled.

In this riveting, blood-soaked take on the vampire myth, nobody is safe and nothing is certain—not even the line between predator and prey.
