“Kraven has crafted a delicious and exciting world, complete with a transcendent romance that will keep you glued to the page!”
—Jaysea Lynn, New York Times bestselling author of For Whom the Belle Tolls
“Blood & Bedlam had me canceling all my plans and silencing my phone so I could devour it. T.C. Kraven’s writing is lush and soaked in blood. With a love story eight hundred years in the making, this book is New Orleans gothic at its most decadent. I was there for every steamy word.”
—Amy Pennza, USA Today bestselling author of Dhampira and Bitten and Bound
“Blood & Bedlam promises mayhem, and Kraven absolutely delivers: vicious, voluptuous, and very very sexy.”
—Liz Shipton, author of Mother & Slaughter
“Blood & Bedlam is everything I want from a vampire novel. T.C. Kraven has given us a dark, sexy, and bloody good read!”

—L.R. Friedman, author of The Blaze Legacy series
“Blood & Bedlam is for the vampire daddy lovers! I loved every second of Vlad and Reine. The YEARNING, their chemistry, and Reine’s past all collide in this beautifully written romance that will have you flying through every page.”
—Clio Evans, author of The Citrus Cove series
“T.C. Kraven’s Blood & Bedlam is the escape I didn’t know I needed. Much like a vampiric thrall, this book gets in your brain and won’t let go. The historical elements—Pelican Girls!—horror scenes, and sexy cast kept me engaged from the prologue to the final note.”
—Jodie Cain Smith, author of the Brackish Water Series
