From the day her first Vampire Chronicle was published, critics and readers--readers by the hundreds of thousands--have been mesmerized by the writings of Anne Rice. And with the publication of The Witching Hour, she created for us yet another world and legend, and both the chorus of praise and the multitudes of her readers once more increased.

Now, Anne Rice brings us again--even more magically--into the midst of the dynasty of witches she introduced in The Witching Hour.

At the center: the brilliant an beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, and Lasher, the darkly compelling demon whom she finds irresistible and from whose evil spell and vision she must now flee. She takes with her their terrifying and exquisite child, one of "a brood of children born knowing, able to stand and talk on the first day."

Rowan's attempt to escape Lasher and his pursuit of her and their child are at the heart of this extraordinary saga. It is a novel that moves around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds. Its many voices--of women, of men, of demons and angels, present and past--haunt and enchant us. With a dreamlike power, the novel draws us through twilight paths, telling a chillingly hypnotic story of occult and spiritual aspirations and passion.

I really enjoyed this second book. It leaves me wanting to read Taltus, next book. Anne Rice is a very imaginative author, and leaves you thinking maybe all is not what it seems to be!

I absolutely loved the first book, one of my favourite books of all time. this one was not as strong. for me, I fell completely out of love with Michael. I found in many parts the story dragged significantly and having finished the book now, I can only presume many things that were drawn out were done so to be relevant to the third book, as they really could have been omitted from this book. i am pleased to have listened to it as I enjoy the story and Rice's imagination. hopefully the third ties these things off which seemed irrelevant to this particular book.

not as good as the first book

Best to view this as an extension of the first book rather than a book on its own. I have seen other reviews criticise the character development in this compared to book 1 but I find that unfair ~ if it was one enormous book it would sit perfectly. I enjoyed this directly after book 1 and how I would recommend it. Now for Taltos! Book 3!

A fitting sequel.
