The Witching Hour by Anne Rice
2.0

This was really just brain candy. It was a trash read designed to take your mind off the real world. That said, this seemed more like a haunting than witches. I mean, witches have powers, can do things. This was an entity which followed the strong female (mostly) each generation.

Mayfair witches have been cursed (of blessed) for generations. Their powers have brought them riches and power. Their story is a several generation soap opera filled with incest, crime, and psychotic episodes. Interesting.

So far, so good. Then the end. The female to be blessed with the power seems to be stronger and ready to throw off the curse or blessing, but then acts totally out of character. I guess Rice decides that the reader needs to see that the temptation is too much for anyone or she decided she needed to make it a series. This will be the end for me, though.

Go to Interview with a Vampire for a good supernatural book!
