Blackwood Farm (Vampire Chronicles Series #9)

Wonderful Read!

I got this novel and couldn't put it down from start to finish! I've read, "Queen of the Damned" and this is my only second novel by the writer, Anne Rice. What a wonderful mix of ghost story...a vampire plot too. Definitely, a really good book to read if you like either or both ghost and/or vampire stories. I would recommend this book to anyone for a really good reading time.

unreal

This was my first step into Anne Rice's world- and I am utterly hooked! I loved how she wrote Quinn to be so human and helplessly erotic. I just can't decide which novel I should read next.

Detractors be Damned!

I wisely waited until I actually read the book before writing a review. That said, my kudos to Anne for a gem of a story. While it's true some of her work hit the mark better than others, I have never failed to appreciate Anne's wonderful talent for weaving a compelling story. She could have easily lost the thread of this story with so many other intriguing side subjects, but she held the line with perfect balance. I too, love the witch stories, and have been waiting for more tidbits on that subject. Again, Anne handled the fusion with remarkable skill. While Anne's work isn't for everyone, she has a place of honor in my library.

Someone once told me you were not an Anne Rice fan if you have not yet read this book, and they were right. Anne Rice does a beautiful job of combining vampires with her Mayfair Witches in the closing of the vampire chronicles.

The action begins right at the beginning when the main character is bold enough to come face to face with The Vampire Lestat in attempt to seek help in ridding himself of a ghost that has haunted him since birth. The book is filled with unexpected thrills and turns, most importantly the entrance of the Mayfair witches- leaving the reader with a strong feeling of satisfaction as this most famous series of books approaches there end.

I fell in love with the Blackwood Family

If your interested in complex characters, and a great description of the human nature you will love Blackwood Farm. What I adored about this book the most is how much I fell in love with the characters. The main Blackwood character, Quinn, was an amazingly complicated man, which made it very easy for me to fall in love with him as a whole. Although the details of the story may linger, every detail of the book and its characters has significant importance.

I have read almost all of her work and this is one of the best!!

There's more than gators in the swamp...

I really enjoyed the new characters in this novel and the background of Blackwood Farm. I am enthralled with novels that have they're stories set in the Bayou, so full of life not human and secrets begging to be let out. I would definately like to see a new series evolve from the newer characters lives.

EXCELLENT!

This book was excellent. Very difficult to put down, and to any reader of The Vampire Chronicles it's definately worth reading over and over again!

Much less than I hoped for

I was not very impressed with this book. This simply is not as good as many of her earlier books. However, if you decide to read this, know that the last hundred or so pages are actually pretty good.

Must Read

I great read, I could not put it down!

The best Anne Rice book in a long time!

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I must say, for the past several years, I have not been too pleased with Ms Rice's books. Ever since The Vampire Chronicles 'ended' and she began the sub series about individual vampires, my interest in her novels began to wane. So, I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least, when I read this book and was immediately entranced with it. This is the Anne Rice I love, and is my favorite book out of the ones she has written since Memnoch the Devil.

One of the Best

Possibly one of the best books Anne Rice has written. It holds you from start to finish. The book is a masterpiece i couldnt put it down. You feel for Quinn as he struggles with changes and love. Torn between the woman he loves and his life long friend. This is a must read book for any Vampire Chronicle fan it is not to be missed! The background is eloquently painted by Rice in her classic style of writing. It almost brings you back to the Interview with a Vampire days.

Great!

This has to be Anne Rice's best new character in TVC. Not only is he strong but he's also quite interesting. One of Rice's best novels.

Refreshingly unique and chilling

This book is definately one Rice's best. I was drawn in to the tangled webs and suprisingly shocked by the twists, turns and revelations. At a time when I thought I could predict all of Rice's plots, I was happily proved wrong. I can't wait for the sequel!

Emotionally-Grabbing Novel

Man, this book plays with your emotions! And I LOVED how it opened readers into the story of the Mayfair Witches. I read this book and immediately went after Blood Canticle. As soon as I was done I started the Mayfair Chronicles just to learn what was up. I'm now reading Lasher and am HOOKED! Anne Rice's style of writing makes you sympathize with Quinn, hate Patsy and the history of the Blackwood Family just intrigues you. This novel was full of the same drama, plot twists, erotica, and good writing you expect from Rice. I don't care what anyone else thinks, I personally loved it!
