krystlocity 's review for:
The Witching Hour
by Anne Rice
Audio book 2009 review:
I listened to an abridged version of this on audio book. It's a story in modern day, about a woman who is a very strong witch through years of grooming and incest to get that way from a line of witches and a demon called Lasher. There was so much back history that I couldn't follow it-I'm not sure if it being unabridged would've helped, or if I would have just needed to read all the other books to keep track-but the box said nothing about it being in a series.
I think the storyline was fine, but not the way it was written. I didn't get attached to any of the characters and didn't believe their feeling and motivations. In all honesty, I felt like all Anne Rice actually cared about writing in this novel was random hallucinated sex between the Lasher demon and the witch (who was supposedly trying to be good and resist Lasher, but always readily accepted him to have sex with and then hated him otherwise? I could understand why Lasher was getting mixed messages about her helping him) Lasher was the only cool person with understandable/interesting motivations-he wanted to be born from the witch as a real person instead of being a spirit demon that only the witches could see, etc. He was cool, everyone else was empty and boring.
Although I have seen a big book titled "Lasher" by Anne Rice, and I might be interested in that, considering he was the only cool thing about this novel.
