Blood Like Mine

Blood Like Mine by Stuart Neville is a chilling, high-stakes blend of horror, thriller, and emotional suspense that digs into the fierce love of a mother and the dark forces threatening her. At the heart of the story is Rebecca Carter, a single mother desperately trying to protect her daughter, Moonflower, from a harrowing secret that has forced them to live off-grid and constantly on the move.

When their van crashes on a snow-covered mountain road, Rebecca finds herself trapped, low on food, out of money, and wary of anyone who might offer help. Her fear isn’t paranoia; it’s survival. Meanwhile, an FBI agent is on the trail of a gruesome killer who leaves behind drained corpses and severed spines. That hunt brings him dangerously close to Rebecca and Moonflower, setting up a collision course neither party is prepared for.

Stuart Neville masterfully weaves tension and atmosphere, making the cold, isolated landscape feel like its own character. Rebecca’s fierce maternal instinct, her resilience, and the mounting dread around her situation make her a compelling and deeply human protagonist. The horror elements are sharp but grounded, enhancing the emotional intensity rather than overwhelming it.

Blood Like Mine is for readers who enjoy psychological thrillers with a horror edge, fans of FBI procedurals who aren’t afraid of a little blood and a lot of heart. It’s a story of survival, sacrifice, and the terrifying lengths we go to for the ones we love.
