I will nerd up and admit that I love Ann Rice. Though sometimes over the top (especially with Lestat, but that is kind of his thing), Rice is a good writer with a great sense of history and of weaving a story through different locations and characters. This is probably my favorite of her books, and I think I may like it for the reasons that others may cite for not enjoying the book. The quarter book description of the lives of all of the Mayfair witches, and each of their relationships with Lasher, really make this book interesting. It made Lasher, and the Mayfair family, intensely alive to see how all related differently. This is also a classic case of the "monster being much scarier before you see him" story. Once I learned what Lasher was, I was not nearly as intrigued by him. Still a great Anne Rice, especially if you are bored with her vampire fare.
