DESCRIPTION:
BirdieTracy said Totally Bewitched. I bought the electronic version of this book because my hardcover copy was getting a bit worn. Actually more than a bit worn.As blasphemous as this may sound, this is probably my favorite book by Anne Rice. Maybe it was the age I was at when it was released. I don't know. I can honestly say that I have read, and pretty much loved every book she's written, but this one put so many hooks in me that I guess I never got away.There are so many stories going on. There is the child, practically stolen at birth. The ghost that gives wealth and power while it plots it's future. The lost women, used and discarded. An evil woman so cloak. "I'm Currently Halfway Through the Book and Felt I Needed to Share my Thoughts." according to Destiny Brown. I honestly love Anne Rice and she made me fall in love with New Orleans through this book. The mood is suspenseful and dark and the pace for most of the book is quite steady. For this book Anne Rice developed a beautiful way to give you the backstory of the plot and The Mayfair Witches. I felt myself so engrossed in this part that I actually felt that I was a member of the Talamasca myself! Its a hefty book nearing 1,000 pages of semi small print pages and even though I'm an avid reader I at first felt intimidated. After knocking out the first have of the book in a day it seems like no time at all has passed. This book is also. Worth the time it takes to finish! You will be left wanting more! Engaging epic tale about a family of witches. The story spans generations of the family along with their interaction with a spirit called Lasher. Anne Rice at her best!
Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale that challenges everything we believe in.. Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women
