"What sets this novel apart from books in the same genre is that it offers a completely different view of vampires. In addition to the magical world that unfolds before the reader's eyes, here are two vampire families that are as likable as your favorite relatives." ~ 5 Star Review, Maria Beltran for Readers' Favorite
"I really like Millicent; she's elegant and cunning, one of Melanson's best characters... Simply put, this is another commendable installment from Melanson and I enjoyed it." ~ 5 Star Review, Lit Amri for Readers' Favorite
"The vampires and other supernatural beings have interesting quirks and do not quite follow the stereotypes that exist about them in literature. You get drawn into the story right from the first page, and it is hard to get out of it again. The writing style is lovely, and it is easy to imagine all the surroundings and the actions of the characters." ~ 5 Star Review, Kim Anisi for Readers' Favorite
"Claudette Melanson's Riptide, Betrayal of Blood is sure to be well received by fans of the highly popular paranormal genre... But what I appreciated most was Melanson's sense of humor and attention to detail." ~ 4 Star Review, Patricia Reding, Readers' Favorite
"Riptide holds an entirely new and different world within its pages. This world has all sorts of supernatural creatures ranging from vampires to fae, to angels, to elves, all the way to pixies. I have never read a book that had this many different supernatural creatures inside it and that gives details of each race without taking away from the book itself." ~ 4 Star Review, Sefina Hawke for Readers' Favorite
"Ms.Melanson's title is not only intriguing, but tells the crux of the story as Maura is betrayed by not only her blood, but the familial blood that flows through the veins of her vampire family... Brilliant characters, heart-warming vampire interactions and a nasty evil cousin are all onboard for this leg of Maura's story." ~ 5 Star Review, Diane Bylo for Tome Tender Book Blog
