A review by josephstoneauthor
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice

5.0

This book is like a Ph.D. course in the life of one family, spanning throughout the world since the dark ages. If you don't have a month (and an organizational chart), you might find yourself getting lost. There is a modern storyline that finds itself broken up by shorter, almost novella-sized dramatic histories of each of the dozen Mayfair witches, all of whom lead the reader through time to better understand the stakes facing their present-day descendants. The sequels are far more digestible and focused, but nowhere near as delicious as this big, beautiful book of rich, powerful, and erotic witches.
