This book is not for the faint of heart. There is so much questionable content here, which is really just a continuation from the first book, but at least we have answers now as to why the incest and the pedophilia was normalized. Anne Rice, you had one messed up mind. I mean, just look at my content warnings, lol.

A good follow-up to The Witching Hour. The book was suspenseful and at times horrifying. Lasher was somewhat less frightening once he was in physical form, but once you find out what he's trying to do it's pretty scary. I liked the continued role of the Mayfair clan and the development of new characters. I noticed one of Anne Rice's continuing themes appearing in this book: whether certain creatures are born evil, or if they choose to be evil by their actions.
