A thoughtful new review from The Writerly Reader. “Motherless Child does offer a new slant on vampires, which is an increasingly rare thing. It was published in the post-Twilight era, and Hirshberg’s vampires are beautiful and seductive (whether they want to be or not), but also terrible…Make no mistake, this is a horror novel. There is gore. There are shocks. The last two chapters especially left me pretty gob-smacked. The ending works; Hirshberg doesn’t pull any punches. Which I absolutely love.”
