Israel's review
The Witching Hour (Lives of the Mayfair Witches)
by Anne Rice
By the time i read it i was fascinadted, but it's not perfect, it's more a very good idea in general, maybe a little naive, specialy in the end.
The real key to liking the novel may lie in sharing Rice's fascination with the occult.
My own view is that when religion starts leaking, the occult is the puddle on the floor.
When Rice isn't writing herself into a frenzy, she writes well-of Curry's New Orleans Irish neighborhood and his return to it, for instance. The rest is stuff sold by the yard. I am told that she keeps copies of bad reviews, whether for use in voodoo rites or merely to help her laugh all the way to the bank I don't know.
The story was considered for a TV show, anyway, the rest of the trilogy is not that good.

Rowan Mayfair, una joven neurocirujana poseedora de unos extraños poderes psíquicos, encuentra a un ahogado, y tras devolverle la vida se enamoran apasionadamente. Al recuperar la consciencia, Michael descubre que le ha sido conferido un extraño don, y lo único que sabe es que tiene relación con una misión que le ha sido encomendada, con una entrada y con un número. Aaron Ligthner, miembro de la Talamasca, les ayudará a desentrañar el misterio, al mismo tiempo que le informa a Rowan que pertenece a una larga dinastía de brujas que se remonta al siglo XVII y cuya historia empezó con una escocesa quemada en la hoguera.
Oscura y luminosa, la historia de las brujas Mayfair se construye, generación tras generación, sobre una serie de dramas de seducción y muerte que a lo largo de los siglos va fraguando el destino de sus protagonistas.
