I thought "Queen of the Damned" was a little boring, but I liked this next novel in the vampire chronicles. Good story. Especially the last part of this book was very suspenseful and fast-paced. Sophisticated readers will enjoy some intellectual dialogues in the story too. A keeper.p.s. I much prefer Anne Rice's vampires to her witches and erotic fairytales.David Rehakauthor of "Love and Madness"
