Lestat takes warnings and "no's" as just encouragement. Quoting a line from the book:
“Lestat, what did I say last night?” he asked. “You are the damnedest creature!”

That's it. That's the vibe of this entire book.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Death of parent, Gore, Suicide, Incest, Blood, Death, Injury/Injury detail, Fire/Fire injury, Murder, and Violence

Moderate: Stalking, Alcoholism, Kidnapping, Alcohol, Sexual content, and Adult/minor relationship

Minor: Misogyny

Adding all the content warnings I could think of for this book was a freaking TRIP. This book is not for the faint of heart. A lot of heavy topics are presented here, but I think they're handled well.
