Just amazing. Hilarious adventures, & a portrait of a family that, while very strange indeed, are as close & loving as it is possible to be.

i thought this book would be a bit gloomy, a bit gothic and a lot fun.

i just love this series. funny spooky–like the addams family, only maybe more funny and less spooky than them. favorite quote lfrom this one? “the lilac room was for lady guests in cashmere and pearls; ladies for whom sorcery was something you put your teacup down upon; ladies who believed that wicca could be purchased at a local garden center.”

Gliori's tone in these books is always just over the top--like a drag queen with just that little bit too much makeup and just slightly too large fake breasts--but she's so much fun (and she throws in sufficient occasional intriguing metaphysical position statements) that you just give in and enjoy the narrative ride.

A lot darker and less funny than the first trilogy of the series.
