Description
In the sixth and final thriller of the "wildly entertaining" (Kirkus Reviews) Miriam Black series, Miriam tries to break the curse of her powers, but first she must face The Trespasser a final time.
Still reeling from the events of The Raptor and the Wren, Miriam must confront two terrifying discoveries: the Trespasser now has the power to inhabit the living as well as the dead, and Miriam is pregnant.
Miriam knows her baby is fated to die, but Miriam is the Fatebreaker. And if the rules have changed for her nemesis, her own powers are changing as well. Miriam will do whatever it takes to break her curse and save her child. But as Miriam once again finds herself on the hunt for a serial killer and in need of an elusive physic, she can feel the threads of her past coming together—and the pattern they're forming is deadly.
To end the Trespasser's influence in her world, Miriam must face her demon a final time. And, this time, one of them must die. Vultures is a heart-pounding conclusion to the series: "Think Six Feet Under cowritten by Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk" (SFX).

February 15, 2019
The long, strange journey of the cursed girl Miriam Black finally comes to an end.Wendig (The Raptor and the Wren, 2018, etc.) has been writing about his punk-rock angel of death for nearly a decade now, and he's chosen this sixth book to finally tie up the loose ends. Miriam, who's cursed with the ability to see how and when anyone she touches will die, has been through so much already, and Wendig isn't letting her go easily. As the book opens, she's pregnant with the daughter of her now-gone lover, augmented by a new paranormal healing ability, and traveling with her recent paramour, Gabby, all while being chased by the supernatural shape-shifter she calls The Trespasser. She's recruited by FBI agent David Guerrero, who's assembled a team with gifts similar to Miriam's in pursuit of a serial killer code-named "Starfucker" for targeting young actors in Hollywood. That's the gist of it, but Wendig throws in everything but the kitchen sink here, including the return of several villains and an old ally, the elusive Wren. Come for the medium who thinks he's Rasputin reincarnated; stay for the series' new big bad, The Ghost of All-Dead. The story is as propulsive as ever, with Miriam's new abilities giving Wendig a devious way to torture his much-loved fate-breaker--as always, Miriam is acidly profane, and the story is graphic both sexually and in terms of sheer bloody and visceral violence. It's certainly not the best entry point for the series--that would be the hard-charging opener, Blackbirds (2015). But readers who have shared the journey of this hard-drinking, hard-living runaway and want to see if she finally gets free of her demonic conundrum will have as much of a blast as ever.Gruesome and bathed in ebony-black humor, this is a much-deserved conclusion for one of horror's most imaginative heroines.COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
