A review by georgey1809
Of Love and Evil: The Songs of the Seraphim, Book Two by Anne Rice
2.0
I picked this up in my local library when I saw it was Anne Rice and the premise sounded good; I didn't realise at the time that this is actually the second book in the series but no worries because the first story is mentioned multiple times throughout so I pretty much got the gest of it.
Although I didn't mind the story itself it is not a mark on Anne Rice's former novels such as The Life of the Mayfair Witches or The Vampire Chronicles. I found the main character Toby weepy and "too in touch" with his feelings. I find this very out of character for someone who used to be a hitman - yes I understand you can feel remorseful about previous actions and may seek solace from asking for forgiveness but please!
I wouldn't really go out of my way to read the first book or any more in the series as I don't think they're worth my time. If I had nothing else to read them possibly.
