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?
When FBI Special Agent Sarah McGrath learns that Rebecca’s body has disappeared from the morgue, she’s on the next plane to El Paso. Rebecca is responsible for the death of her partner, and McGrath wants answers, but she never expected them to come from a shadowy figure within the Bureau . . .
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 can stop at nothing to be reunited with her.
