Anne Rice intenta promocionar un combo ganador uniendo en una novela a sus mejores personajes, colisionando sus mejores escenarios e historias y creo que al final realmente no logra el cometido, un "all stars" o "dream team" que no debió ser.

I was actually a little bit disappointed with this installment in the Vampire/Witches series. It was just like the others as far as writing goes but I was really hoping for more about the Mayfair witches in this story but it focused only on Merrick (duh that's the title of the book kinda makes sense huh?). I was just really looking forward to a lot more history more along the lines of the Witching Hour. Hopefully we get some more in Blood and Gold.

For me, The Vampire Chronicles are the be-all-end-all of vampire novels. And while I have my favorites within the series, I find myself comparing every other vampire novel I read to the entire set. So, if you want to discuss them, go ahead and send me a note. And if you're new to the vampire genre, you can't go wrong with Anne Rice.

Read when it was released. A book that brings together the Witches and the Vampires - demanding that Rice fans remember things from books she released years ago. Just one more reason I love Anne Rice - none of the details go to waste, some even last years after you took the time to enjoy them the first time.

Merrick brings back the "ghost" of Claudia the child vampire for the forlorn Louis. She warns him that this is extremely dangerous, but does it anyway. She also warns him the spirits lie, expecially ones who die a violent death, and what could be more violent for a vampire than the rays of the sun?

It was SO exciting to hear that the vampires and the witches were going to come togther...then nothing. A quick paragraph about how Merrick never new the rest of the Mayfairs and then la la la. Written for an audience she assumed hadn't bothered with the witch trilogy, which was such a cop out.

to any Anne Rice fans
I always enjoy reading Anne Rice books. She writes with such detail that I can become completely immersed in the setting and characters. This book has a twist with a witch involved which I quite enjoyed. I haven't read the witch chronicles yet, but I will. I am sure I will enjoy the books.

I liked this book even though I hadn't read the Body thief book. The encorporation of witches and their magic has enticed me to look to buying more of her books to get a better backstory of Merrick. But her character was definitely one that I want to read about again!

Teenagers, mostly
Only the plot barely saves this book from the Crap Rice pile. Seriously, the Mayfair witches are perfect, their house is perfect, and they have perfect life which they are now going to live forever because some of them are vampires!! C'mon, Anne...

This book was beautifully written, very descriptive and sensual (well, Anne Rice books usually are) It helps to read more of the books from her to get a full view of the story of Lestat and the others more fully explained in her other works.

It took a while to get into the book. Yes I understand it was about Merrick.... we had to learn a little of her history. But it did take a while to get to what actually was happening at THE MOMENT. I really enjoyed the book though.

This is the book that pulled me into Anne Rice's novels. I picked it up to just to read the first couple of pages and didnt put the book down that night. I think I read the whole book in two days. I like to devour books like that!

Rice fans, those interested in fictional witch families
This is one of my favorite Anne Rice books. I think I fell in love with the family in these books, the way the generations interacted through spirits. However, you generally love or hate Anne Rice. I'm okay with that. I love her.

I read this because my vocal coach at the time said that Merrick reminded her of me. All in all, it was a pretty decent, enjoyable Anne Rice novel (we can't be all Faulkner all the time).

The ending of this book left open a thread that could have really opened another epic line. I was quite disappointed when Anne didn't take the opportunity, but such is the way!

When I couldn't bring myself to finish this, nor Blood and Gold a few years later, I knew my vampire days were over. Cheers to those of you who've read them all!

I have read all of the vampire chronicles by Anne Rice and enjoy them because of the sultry undertone and "other"-worldly nature; she's a great story-teller.

Another great example of Anne Rice's works as we learn more about Merrick. So far all of her books have been a page-turner for me.

This was my last attempt at Anne Rice's vampire novels, and after this I broke up with them completely. I was not at all impressed.
