This is Anne Rice's best novel. It's a masterpiece of modern-set Fantasy. I don't even really enjoy most of other Anne Rice books at all... But is I loved to distraction.
My only warning is that it's long winded, and not very action filled.

What a wild ride of a book. I loved the history of the Mayfair family , I found that absolutely captivating and I wanted more!!! But I really didn’t like Rowan especially towards the end . And the ending with Rowan and lasher? WTF!!! A total rollercoaster of a book
