Book Description:
In the third chronicle of the Mayfair Witches, the Talamasca seek to preserve the nearly extinct Taltos race by bringing together a male and female. Their searching catches the attention of an ancient Taltos named Ashlar entwined with Lasher's identity. Ashlar reveals the taltos mythology and lineage and enlists the help of Michael and Rowan in his battle againsst evil. Ashlar longs to make right the sufferings of his people. To help Ashlar, Michael must keep his coupling with Mona Mayfair (a precocious teenager who loves sex and computers equally) a secret, for it has produced a new female Taltos. Rowan attempts to assist him, but the task is difficult given that Morrigan, the Taltos, has been named the heir to the Mayfair fortune. Morrigan becomes the new monster of the Mayfair family.

Along with Stephen King, I've grown bored with Anne Rice's books. But this one is still one of my favorites. The vampire Lestat has become so pompous and self-important in Rice's latest vampire books I just can't stand reading them. But Taltos doesn't have Lestat which I'm so grateful for. This is an intricately plotted novel with great characters that come alive and a fascinating premise is revealed towards the end. I definitely recommend this book.

As the series proceeds, the story loses cherence. Not a high point, but still a fun read.

A continuation of the Mayfair Witches story that began with The Witching Hour. Some of Anne Rice's finest writing. Complex, compelling. Astonishing depth and imagination.

Third in the series of the Mayfair Witches it is possibly one of my favorite books from the series. Secrets are revealed about their haunted heritage and the link they have to outside wonders.

Great Mayfair Witches book - #3. Anne Rice works wonders. You can never go wrong with her work. Should read THE WITCHING HOUR and LASHER first, however.

Third book in the Mayfair series. A must read for Anne Rice fans.

Kelly J. (The last book of a three (long) book series about The Mayfair Witches. After thousands of pages, I'd expected to read the WHY's of the theme of this book, the 13th witch, but instead I was further confused and unsatisfied with the Rice explanation. So many characters became unlikeable that it was difficult to even finish this book, but I wanted answers that never were provided. I did enjoy the descriptions of New Orleans and all the details Rice infuses into her stories.
Denise H. (3rd book in the series...need to read all 3 to understand...a really great story by Anne Rice
Cherie (I actually liked Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches Chronicles better than the Vampire Chronicles. Though I did like the first two books in this series, The Witching Hour and Lasher, better than this third one.
In this story the family's haunted heritage has brought them great wealth, which is exercised from a New Orleans manse With SOuther n gentility, but of course such power cannot escape notice...or challenge...Rice is a formidable talent...Taltos is a curious amalgram of gothis, glamour fiction, alternate history, and high soap opera.
Linda P. (A wonderful end to this trilogy. If you can get through the first book,then you are in for a real treat!!!
