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.

LITERALLY TRIGGER WARNING EVERYTHING
i thought i was desensitized to anne rice but no im not this is the most atrocious book i have ever read. i could feel god's eyes watching me as i read. this is absolutely foul. no character is likeable, there's so much sex and it's not like it's sexy sex or anything. so much gross breastfeeding, pedophilia, etc. this is genuinely fucked up and i feel like i should be legally punished for reading this.
