Lasher by Anne Rice
5.0
Lasher is the sequel to The Witching Hour, Anne Rice’s grand tale of the Mayfair family. It is both “Seductive magic…Spellbinding” (San Francisco Chronicle) and “Compelling…Wickedly irresistible” (The Washington Post.)
The witching Hour was the first book I ever read of Anne Rice and I totally loved it, but this one did not immediately grab me, but I did soon fall under its spell and could not put it down. The book is full of vivid characters (Lasher, Julien along with Emaleth and Mona).
Lasher gets in to the religious wars in ancient Europe between Pagans, Little People and races of non-human beings, Catholics and Protestants. We travel around the world from the West Indies, to New Orleans, California, New York, and on to Scotland, Ireland and Amsterdam.
This is a chilling, terrifying and at times erotic tale of the lust for revenge, power, and above all - love.
I highly recommend this trilogy!
