A review by karlabrandenburg
The Witching Hour by Anne Rice

4.0

There are parts of this book that are intriguing, there are parts of this book that drag. Parts of it were riveting. Ms. Rice could have done with a bit more editing, however, all said, I did like this book. The one thing that irritates the life out of me with books by Anne Rice - she doesn't know how to write an ending. And this is no exception. I read this on the advice of a friend, and I remember asking how it would turn out (because I was so afraid of being disappointed). And I was. The history of the witches was very interesting, even when the story stopped to jump into the backstory. This could easily have been two books. The bottom line? I liked it enough to pick up the sequel - Lasher.
