Reception
Maryanne Booth reviewed 'Child of the Night' for 'Arcane' magazine, rating it a 6 out of 10 overall. Booth comments that "Best described as an erotic Mills & Boon 'girl meets S&M monster', writhing with emotional and colourful passages. Largely a fun read, though more than a tad morally questionable in places. Intriguing, but not comparable to Anne Rice at her best."
