3.0

 This book brings the focus back to Lestat and his quest to regain some of his humanity. He makes an effort to limit his victims to criminals. He is having dreams about Claudia, who we met in Interview With The Vampire. Lestat is lonely and in the throes of some type of depression. Lestat winds up in a terrible predicament when he switches bodies with a devilish creature. Marius becomes angry at Letstat because of this, who must scheme and plot to attempt to recover is vampiric body. I said that Queen of the Damned was my least favorite of the series, but this one moved to the top of the least favorite list. It wasn't a bad book, but it was just not my favorite so far.
