aliennas 's review for:

The Witching Hour by Anne Rice

2.0

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: No

It honestly has no business being this long. The “Yes, rape me!” and the pedophilia, incest and other… uncomfortable aspects of the book were big yikes. That being said, the narrative and the plot in itself is really cool. Part 2 is a clear highlight.
