Prince Lestat - Anne Rice

I would have to say,

that Anne Rice is the one

that got me hooked onto vampires.

Lestat was my first vampire love.

I devoured the first 4 books

of the Vampire Chronicles. 

I couldn't get enough.

And for this reason,

I eagerly awaited the release

of Prince Lestat. 

However, 

I haven't read her books

in a long time. 

Maybe I forgot what they were like. 

Maybe I had high expectations. 

But whatever it is,

I found Prince Lestat 

a hard read. 

We meet Lestat

and learn what he's been up to

since we last saw him in Memnoch. 

We also learn what Marius,

Armand, Louis, Pandora

and other beloved vampires 

have been up to. 

Once we're all caught up

we begin to learn of a mysterious

Voice.

We now revisit all our vampire friends,

old and new,

and learn what they think of this Voice.

It's a good story.

I guess I was just hoping 

for a great story.
