Summary: Excellent sequel
Comment: A rare occurence of a sequel being almost as good as its predecessor. Lasher returns to haunt the Mayfairs, only this time he's in the flesh, and as deadly as ever. Now he's frantically trying to find the Mayfair women who can bear his child, leaving a trail of death in his wake. Readers who loved Rice's richly detailed chronicle of the Mayfairs' history in The Witching Hour will relish Julien's ghostly narrative of his struggles with Lasher and Lasher's own tale of disillusionment and desperation. More suspenseful than The Witching Hour, this book gave me nightmares one night the first time I read it, something that almost never happens to me! Excellent, although not quite as good as The Witching Hour (my personal Rice favorite), but better than Taltos, the third book in this series.

Summary: Wait! You have to finish!
Comment: I was disapointed that someone reviewed this book that didn't even finish it! I was struggling through the middle but raced through the end, which kept me hanging on. I definatly recomend this book, it was a wonderful follow-up to The Witching Hour. Rice is a sequel queen (just look at Lestat compared to Interview). I love her sensual writting and am recomending this book to everyone I know. I do think Witching hour should be read first, just so you get the back-ground. Also, see the vampire chronicles for more Talamasaca info. After reading Lasher I wonder why they were interested in Vampires. Anybody have any ideas? Or should I just read Taltos?

Summary: Lasher is no Lestat
Comment: I know it is probably unfair to compare Lasher with Lestat. But it's difficult not to because Lestat is still far and away Ms. Rice's greatest character. When I read "The Witching Hour" I couldn't wait to find out more about Lasher. What makes him tick? Is he evil, or simply misunderstood like Lestat?
Well, Lasher turns out to be a great big bore. And it's pathetic that all he wants to be is flesh. He's a powerful spirit, and all he wants to be is human so he can participate in some weird occult ritual? Uh, OK. I found myself wishing that he would encounter Lestat and that Lestat would either soundly kick his rear, or hang out with him so that some of Lestat's personality could rub off on him!
Oh well, I still gave this three stars because this book moves along a little more than "The Witching Hour." I would say, read this book if you like "The Witching Hour" and if you are a huge Anne Rice fan. Otherwise, stick to the Lestat stories! He is much more interesting!
