Best vampire trilogy ever. Painted vampires as the monsters they really are. Great horror.
This last book was pretty good at tying up loose ends. Well written.
I don't usually think of vampire books as beautifully written with eloquent prose. But Glen Hirschberg has completely changed my mind about that. This series was gorgeous and creepy and malevolent and horrifying and wonderful. Been a long time since I cried on the subway while reading a book. I did with this one. I felt the heavy ax in my hand. I held my breath along with the characters and I cried when they died. Thank you Glen. Keep writing.
Nothing To Devour brings to a close the trilogy Glen Hirshberg began with Motherless Child and continued with Good Girls. It's an appropriately dreary ending, full of Hirshberg's remarkable description and dialogue.The series is unpredictable. It's truly an anyone-can-die situation. We started out with two leads, Sophie and Natalie, and, well, readers of the first two books know how things have gone for those two. The survivor of that original pair exists in Nothing to Devour, but as a side char...
Yet again, another great novel by Glen Hirshberg. Wonderful plot. Good characters. This is the end of the Motherless Child trilogy. Great series! Gratulations to glen Hirshberg.
‘Nothing to Devour’ marks the end of a stunning trilogy of novels. Glen Hirshberg has long been one of my favourite authors and his amazing powers of imagination, strong characterisation, narrative drive and sense of place are all on firm display here. Like all great series, these books have been deeply and intimately connected while constantly surprising and breaking unfamiliar ground.Despite some breath-taking action sequences, this, like much of Glen’s work, is a deeply introspective affair.
Intriguing final (I hope not) book in the Motherless Children vampire series. Interesting characters and superbly crafted storylines make you want to savor every paragraph. Highly recommended.

i am a huge fan of Hirshberg's books, and i loved the first two books in his trilogy of vampires... alas, this finale was not to my taste at all... entirely too much dialogue, and i am rarely a fan of that... i know he tied to avoid the tropes of vampire tales, and focus more on the family/relationship/friendship angles, and it worked in the first two books because he had plenty of nastiness and creepiness and viscerality to offset the huggy-smoochy-warmandfuzzy stuff... this book just went back...
