– PRAISE FOR MILKTEETH - * - *
Fascinating, compelling, impossible to look away from–all apt descriptors for Caitlin Starling’s MILKTEETH. This is an aspect of vampire lore that’s rarely mined, and as usual Starling pulls no punches. If you think you’re vampired-out, think again * Kendare Blake, #1 NYT bestselling author of All These Bodies *
A compulsively readable story cradling a powerful look at motherhood, filtered through the lens of vampirism. * Kelley Armstrong, New York Times Bestselling author *
MILKTEETH takes a fresh new bite out of the vampire lore, and in doing so spills onto these pages crimson mystery, mind-twisty plotlines, and incredible new characters. As elegant as it is brutal. Brava to Caitlin Starling! * Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of Red Empire and Ghosts of the Void. *
In 2026, it may seem impossible for any writer to pen a truly unique vampire tale, but Caitlin Starling manages just that with Milkteeth. With its compelling plot, deft writing, and original premise, this novel will quickly seduce you, but be careful: it has teeth. * Johanna van Veen, Author of My Darling Dreadful Thing and Blood on Her Tongue *
