About this ebook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Rice allows [her vampires] to do what they do best: wreak havoc and evoke terror. All while impeccably dressed.” —The Washington Post

The vampire world is in crisis ... Old vampires, roused from deep slumber in the earth, are doing the bidding of a Voice commanding that they indiscriminately burn their kin in cities across the globe, from Paris to Mumbai, Hong Kong to San Francisco. Left with little time to spare, a host of familiar characters including Louis de Pointe du Lac, Armand, and even the vampire Lestat, must embark on a journey to discover who—or what—is driving this mysterious being.

Ratings and reviews

Slowly and gently bringing you back to the world of Lestat. This book sensuously wraps its seductive tentacles around you and then proceeds to make you fall in love again with the world of vampires. Beautifully nuanced, keeping itself firmly in the grey rather than preach in clear black or white. Many questions pertaining to every component were given answers, yet many more remain. At the end of the book, as any beautiful love making session with one who's cherished and loved, you will feel deeply satisfied

This novel series is what really got me into reading in the first place back when I was teen. What is there to say now about something I've waited years to read. Its not entirely what I'd had hope for but that doesn't make it bad by any means. The two things that annoyed me the most was the over use of apple product placement. And the lavished lifestyles which I've gotten bored of sometime ago. This is not a novel I could recommend unless your familiar with her style of writing and characters.

Okay, I'm not sure how the rest of the book is going to go, but I was a bit disappointed in how Anne developed Lestat's character for this book. Yes, he is haunted and has a lot of emotional baggage, we all know this as fans, but he is NOT oblivious to modern technology like email and cell phones. He has never been as absent-minded, or as distant as he is portrayed as being. That being said, this plot seemed to rehash books 2 and 3 to a great extent, and that was also disappointing to me.
