The Vampire Lestat * Anne Rice Book Review
Lestat. The vampire hero of Anne Rice’s enthralling new novel is a creature of the darkest and richest imagination.

Beauty’s Punishment * Anne Rice
The claiming of the sleeping beauty was the first book of this sex-filled trilogy and I must say, when it comes to BDSM and really explicit sex scenes, Anne Rice is way better than E.L. James with her 50 Shades of Wayyy no.…

I am Ophelia once again * Quote
…She lay back on the pillows next to me. ‘I am Ophelia once again,’ she said. ‘I am floating in the water, with only “nettles, daisies and long purples” to hold me up, and I will never sink to “muddy death.”
Violin * Anne Rice – Book review
I usually like Anne Rice books and I was truly enthralled by the Chronicles of the Vampires and the Mayfair witches series. I even liked one of her older books – Belinda.
