Angel

It's probably been more than a decade since I last read Anne Rice. After the masterful fifth volume of Vampire Chronicles "Memnoch the Devil", the last one I delved into was, I guess, "Pandora."

Edit As it has been two years and I have not been struck down by lightning yet, I feel safe enough to lower my rating to the 1 star I originally wanted to give.

Así, se comienza con la historia de vida del asesino... larga, cansadora y Leggi tutto

I was pleasantly surprised with this book.

The book is lovely and written perfectly. Anne Rice always has a tendency to ove Leggi tutto
