  <default-description>At the center of this dark and compelling tale is Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, who must flee from the darkly brutal, yet irresistable demon known as Lasher.  With a dreamlike power, this wickedly seductive entity draws us through twilight paths, telling a chilling and hypnotic story of spiritual aspiration and passion.</default-description>

I've been an avid fan of Anne Rice's books since I was in junior high, since I love her style of writing and of course her gothic themes (vampires, demons, witches).<br/><br/>Lasher is the second novel of the Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the second book in Rice's Mayfair Witches trilogy, and I have to confess that while I find the witches fascinating, the title character leaves me a little cold. <br/>In the first book in the series we learned that the Mayfairs had been subtly manipulated for thirteen generations by a spirit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36762180">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A good follow-up to The Witching Hour. The book was suspenseful and at times horrifying. Lasher was somewhat less frightening once he was in physical form, but once you find out what he's trying to do it's pretty scary. I liked the continued role of the Mayfair clan and the development of new charac...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75474752">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A another very engaging read from Anne Rice. This is the second book in the series about the Mayfair witches, but it can be read without reading the preceding book. The author does an excellent job with drawing the reader into the world of the Mayfair witches and their relationship with the entity k...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26199436">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I chose this one--instead of just most of her books on--because it was the first of her &quot;Witch&quot; books that I read...  Anne Rice is a master at resurrecting times and places past--I enjoy the occult themes of her writing, but I also read her for the historical aspect.  In the &quot;Witch&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34569338">more...</a>]]></body>
