This novel is about an assassin who has lost his faith in God. His guardian angel comes to visit him and needs his assistance in helping others.I did not care for this novel or should I say novella as it was a quick read. The writing is simplistic and I felt like I was reading a YA novel. Usually...
Returning to Nideck Point in Northern California, we once again jump into the life of Reuben, newly a man-wolf and still learning about his new life and the extended "family" of wolves who are all gathering at Nideck Point for a midwinter celebration. Felix, the original ancestor of the estate i...
Rice describes her devout Catholic youth,how she became an atheist at 18, and then returned to the church at 58. How she reconciles her books, and struggles with some of the standings of the church on women and gays was what made this a great read for me. I loved the deep description of the chu...
.....That was a bit....anti climatic? ô_o I was totally involved. I am really intrigued regarding the historical aspects of these books!
seriously hated this book. Neviem prečo ale absolútne ma to nebavilo, nepochopila som to a dvojku nechcem ani vidieť.
Had to put it down halfway. Es demasiado pesado..... :( no lo terminé porque aburre con mucha facilidad
Nice story... I wonder how it's going to end :p A short novel, but apparently the 1st of a series. Am looking forward to reading the next .
Bon, vraiment pas ma série préférée chez Rice, pas assez travaillé, c'est très court. Bon, vraiment pas ma série préférée chez Rice, pas assez travaillé, c'est très court.
3.5 starsThe main character is the same as in the first book but his characteristics and behaviour are changed. I liked the idea in the beginning of the story but the next meeting with the seraphin was strange and the action behind it, too. I think I don´t like stories that are connected to any r...
During the process of compiling my list of books to read for 2014 I found "Of Love and Evil" part two of the "Songs of the Seraphim" series by Anne Rice. While it didn't make the list I recalled the sheer joy I get from reading her work so decided yesterday morning to sneak it in and I'm glad I d...
Warning: SPOILERS. And gifs. Lots of both, actually.I don't even know how to summarize what I've just finished. It's like trying to tell someone what happens in a George RR Martin novel. You might try to list item by item, but everything is woven with everything else & there's no way to disti...
Cry to Heaven was the second Anne Rice novel I ever read. The subject matter is intense (sometimes graphic) from PAGE ONE; yet too fascinating to put down! What I did NOT now until way after the fact, is Anne's work in this well written book is historically correct and highly researched. Among ot...
Well, another day done, another Anne Rice book finished at midnight. In all honesty, reading this book for me was like pulling out 4 of my teeth (and yes, I've had that done, baby teeth, but still). I tried to read this book earlier this year and only got a quarter into it before I threw it down ...
First and foremost, when reading this book it cannot be emphasized enough enough that this is FICTION! Much like reading "The Shack" by William Paul Young, there could be much confusion theologically if it should be taken as truth. Having said that, Anne Rice did a masterful job on writing this, ...
One good thing about traveling is that you often have to read whatever comes your way and are more likely to have to stick with it. Not to say that I wouldn't read smut back home, but there is no way I could justify finishing this turd of a book if I had access to my local library and my own book...
This book kind of surprised me. As I wrote in my review for The Witching Hour, I really loved THAT book as a young adult (13-15 I'd guess), and had for many years after considered it one of my favorite novels ever written. However, re-reading it at age 31 revealed a number of fatal flaws that I...
I gave this book 2 stars because of three reasons:1. the book's enthralling opening 2. it's extensive vocabulary3. Anne Rice's lovely prose ( although gradually into the middle of the book it becomes overly long to me)I came across this book in an old bookstore. Having known that Anne specialized...
Now Mona is a vampire and not facing her inevitable death, she is able to ask hard questions – like where her daughter is and what has become of the TaltosThe big dark secret of the Mayfair family is finally open and ready to be resolved.I have a problem.When I reviewed Blackwood Farm I gave it 0...
Some time ago i decided to read all the Vampire Chronicles. I started with "Interview With The Vampire" and "Blood and Gold". These books were great, i was so fond of Anne Rice's works. I liked everything in her books - characters, stories, all the dark romantism. So i went on with "The Vampire L...
As someone who reads as much as I do people are often surprised at how I haven't read many 'Classics' nor big popular authors-This is an example of that. Anne Rice is well known, If you have read her stuff or not you know her name or have had a conversation about her at some point. I have a grea...
Sob o pseudónimo Anne Rampling, Anne Rice escreveu “Belinda” como sendo uma história erótica de uma rapariga de dezasseis anos que se envolve e apaixona por um artista, pintor e autor de livros infantis com quarenta e quatro anos de idade. Afastando-se dos diferentes universos que criou, como é o...

Reseñado en mi blog Nanny BooksTenía entendido que la saga Nuevas historias de vampiros era posterior a la saga principal de la autora, Crónicas vampíricas, pero resulta que no es así. ¡Atención! Esto es muy importante para todos los que estén siguiendo libro por libro de Rice (como yo). El orden...
At the end of The Vampire Lestat, Lestat, narrowly escaping an attack at his opening concert in San Francisco, was getting read to sleep during the day when a figure hovers over him. This book picks up immediately - Lestat narrates what happens in the days that follows. To do this, he backs out...
Let me start by saying that Anne Rice is my favorite author. I discovered her work when I was barely a teenager. Rice painted vivid, metaphysical worlds for her vampires, witches, and spirits. The page turning tales she spun were an escape that brought me through some of the toughest trials of my...
I read this graphic novel right after reading the novel. It is a very nice companion to the book, dialogues are exactly the same as novel. Special attention has been paid to details and the general depth and impact scenes and events are supposed to have which helps to better understand and imagin...
Oh Lestat de Lioncourt, how can you be this rebel, how dare you create such trouble while not giving a single thought to your actions.This is the second book on The Vampire Chronicles, and it is time for Lestat to tell his story. It starts in the year 1984 if my mind is not playing tricks on me, ...
Somewhat scary and creepy. If only I didn't have the mental image of Lestat - which Anne Rice did well - as homosexual, this might actually have had a spot in my favorites shelf.Lestat's experience as a human again cracked me up a bit. He kept whining on and on about how the human body he inhabit...
Pretty much a waste of paper. The Mammoth Book of Erotica: New Edition is full of short stories from different authors. The majority are crap, especially the ones about coprophagia. I started reading this book years ago, when women were embroiled in the Fifty Shades of Grey epidemic. I've only ju...
As a Christian, I appreciate the reverence and piety that Anne Rice brings to her second novel about the life of Jesus, "Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana." But as a reader, I kept wishing some gay vampires would swoop in to liven things up. There's no questioning Rice's sincerity in this epic pr...
