Quinn Blackwood is back in this book, along with Lestat. Quinn has fallen in love with Mona Mayfair, who is dying from a mysterious illness. Quinn tries to save Mona by having Lestat turn her into a vampire to cure her from her illness that she came down with after giving birth. During these events, and in trying to keep the Mayfair family from finding out about Mona's transformation, Lestat falls in love with Rowan Mayfair. This was another cross over type of book, and I am not really crazy about cross overs. It wasn't a bad book, but it was not one of my favorites of the whole series. Of course, I love Quinn and was glad to see him again and see how his vampiric journey was going.
