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.

It's so dark!!! There were many scenes in this book that made me suuuper uncomfortable but it was well written and I was glued to the page with need to find out more of the story. 
That ending though! What a twist!
