I think I was disappointed because I loved the first book in the series so much. (  ) Anagarika | Nov 3, 2009 |  This is NOT a Vampire story it is a continuance of The Witching Hour. Although it is not as good as the first Mayfair family book, it is interesting. It introduces a lot of new interesting Mayfair characters and you get to know Lasher and Julien on a deeper level. The only thing I didn't like was so much talk of thirteen year old's having sex or being sexually abused by their family members. Other than that the book is a must, if you want to find out what happens to Lasher and the Mayfair Family. (  ) Natalie220 | Aug 20, 2009 | I couldn't finish the book. Read a little over 100 pages. It was very boring, didn't make sense. I did like the first book, [The Witching Hour] a lot. (  ) | May 8, 2009 | edit | |   Though not as compelling as it’s prequel, Lasher is an entertaining read. Again shifting back and forth from past to present, Lasher tells his own story, Julian tells his, and we meet the enchanting present-day Mona. While in “The Witching Hour” the method of telling about past events was unique, the historical documents of the Talamasca, in “Lasher” we are told about the past in narrative fashion from the ghost of Julien, as well as Lasher himself. It’s a perfectly acceptable convention, but not quite as unique. It was good to get more back-story, although Julien’s is more fill-in-the-blank as we know most of that from the first book. What this volume does have over it’s predecessor is a much more satisfying ending, one I really didn’t see coming, considering the existence of a sequel. (  ) lilyfyrestorm | Sep 10, 2008 | If you have read The Witching Hour first pleas leave it at that, this and Taltos ruined the lives of the Mayfair witches for me.
