"This book has such full rich description of a deep southern plantation house turned bed and breakfast that it just pulled me in. At the time I read it I could identify with the main character's struggle to find himself even before he became a vampire."
"I couldn't have hated this book more. UGH. Big pile of poo. It was such a pile of drivel that i can't even being to say why i hated it so much - except, oh, the characters. And the writing. Horrific."
"I was surprised that I liked this book as much as I did. I was planning to skim it to see if anything happened to a few Mayfair Witch characters I liked. Instead, it had interesting characters and 80% of the book wasn't about vampires at all and had a wider array of paranormal activity. I hesitated to give it 4 stars because the ending was rushed and kinda lame, but overall I really enjoyed it. Wish I could say the same for the next book in the series."
"Not bad. If you can get past the fact that only the last 15% of the novel actually qualifies as a "vampire chronicle." If you don't go into this novel with your heart set on a blood-sucking vampire thriller with your favorite pal Lestat at the reigns, you'll enjoy a pretty decent story.
Actually, I find this novel serves as a better blend of Rice's vampire and witch worlds than the book Merrick is touted to do; but for a whole different set of reasons...
I gave it 3 stars because it starts off a bit slow, giving more history than story (which shouldn't be necessary for the 9th installment in a series), but does reward you with a pretty decent finish."
