Reader response to Crimson:

"Jayne has an engaging, yet detailed style with characters who are more than the sum of their parts. She crafts horror and atmosphere with an almost poetical skill. Yes, this is a vampire novel. Yes, there are M/M relationships...angst...blood, guts and gore. Considering how utterly defanged vampires have become over the past few years, one might be tempted to skip this one. Don't." - TheFountainPenDiva

"A unique twist on the genre that really pulls you in." - Lynn Carden

"Dark and funny, in a twisted sort of a way. If you like a mix of horror and erotica with some black humor thrown in, this is a must-read." - Bryn Colvin
