This is a cracking read from the first page to the last. Highly recommended!"
Additionally, Launch Pad praised the novel's imaginative world-building and its unique take on vampire-human hybrids: "What sets 'Vampires in BC' apart is its innovative take on vampire mythology and the dynamics of a vampire-human hybrid society. ... the inclusion of indigenous folklore introduces a unique twist to the narrative and sets the series apart from other vampire-themed stories."
Literary Titan praised Vampires in BC as "a mesmerizing fantasy novel that immerses readers in a dark and atmospheric world where the lines between life and death, human and vampire, blur hauntingly."
