"It is clear from the outset of Darksome Thirst that Ms. Westfield knows her characters well… She possesses the talent and ability to paint vivid portraits with an economy of words, allowing us to feel as if we know these people too. Alicia, Matricaria, and [Wesley] are all life-like. They walk and talk. And so are the secondary characters, down to the absent Kurt, whom we only know through a recounting of past events. Ms. Westfield has a passion for these people and their stories and conveys that to the reader remarkably well."
Morgan Ploutz, The Horror Channel
"Darksome Thirst is Morven Westfield's entry into the world of fiction and is, hopefully, the beginning to a long career. It is a vampire thriller that preys on our fears of the commonplace becoming the unknown...The setting of modern technology (ok- not so modern- it takes place in the computer land of the 70s) is a wonderful contrast with dark powers of the hidden. Westfield has created characters that get our attention, [keep] our interest... "
Barb Radmore, Front Street Reviews
"[Morven Westfield's] quick and entertaining descriptiveness along with her ability to flow from one transition to the other make this book impossible to put down... The realism of the settings and situations give you the feeling that you have just finished watching a fantastic Reality Television program... There are those who are born to write and Ms. Westfield was born not to only write, but to entertain as well. I enthusiastically and somewhat impatiently await the next book in her series."

"The plot is engaging, at times allowing the author's sense of humor to add great color to the writing style. Morven also tosses the readers several surprises and the book builds to a potent climax..."

"I love this book. I can't stop recommending it to people who are looking for a novel to read to take their minds off school work."

Reviewer, College Wicca
"Clearly the author has done a lot of research (either objectively or subjectively) on Paganism and Wicca, and the attention to detail and accuracy of the rites and correspondences included is impressive."

"An interesting story about a vampire, his intended victim and a witch who senses that something dark is on the horizon... I personally enjoyed the detailed workings of the 'vintage' computer environment."

Pagan Reviews
"Tired of good vampires or bad ones who run in clans and act more like gangsters than the undead?... The author does a very good job of establishing atmosphere, and the evil force is nicely handled... the characterization was convincing and the story engrossing. Overall, a very promising debut."

"Remember the name Morven Westfield... She's an exciting new voice in the Horror/Vampire genre. DARKSOME THIRST is her debut novel and what an entrance it is! "

author of The Committee, Cardinal's Sin, The Witch Book, and others
"The story is engaging and down to earth... I feel for the characters in the book. [The book] is very realistic, with a good amount of suspense to keep you going. My only disappointment was that it was too short!"
