No one paints a picture with words like Anne Rice. Blood Communion is the last book in the Vampire Chronicles and is a thrilling—if not bloody—fantasy rich in texture and full of surprises on every page. Lestat, The Brat Prince, has finally realized his dream of creating a haven for the undead by refurbishing his ancestral home high in the mountains of France. But just as Lestat’s dream of vampires living peacefully together begins, the ancient Rhoshamandes, who carries off Lestat’s closest family and friends, threatens everything. Only by offering himself to a monster can Lestat save those he loves. I’ve read and loved all of the Vampire Chronicle books, and this one did not disappoint. It was a fitting end to a stunning world of horror and passion. ( )

Maybe I'm over Anne Rice? (Is that possible?) But I couldn't wait to be done with this book. This is also the first time I've done Anne via audio book so maybe it was that but here's are my insights:
1. Lestat constantly names vampires around him
2. Major characters die off w/out much of a fan fare which then makes you suspect either she's really lost it OR they aren't dead
3. Major characters, who are again supposedly dead, one just keeps getting not mentioned when the two others are constantly mentioned
4. Lestat names the same vampires he's already named 3x and keeps describing their clothes
5. Lestat spends 15 minutes naming and describing clothes of vampires in a painting

Oh, my, god this book was boring. And, I didn't feel like much happened at all. literally it was just a bunch of naming of vampires and talking about their fucking clothes.

OH, and let's not forget that Pandora is now a battered woman who can't stand up for herself. /puke. ( )

Pure guilty pleasure. Not the best vampire book from Rice, but there were still Lestat, Armand, Marius, and even Louis got a line or two. It was fun to dip into this world again. ( )

Meh. I think I may have outgrown Lestat... ( )
