In this book, we meet Quinn Blackwood, who has been plagued by some spirit his whole life. He searches for Lestat, in hopes that Lestat will be able to help him. We learn about Quinn's life and his transformation from human to vampire. I love the character of Quinn. I enjoyed learning about his life and his family. Lestat enlists Merrick to help Quinn get rid of his spirit.

There are a lot of negative comments about this book. While I do not think that it was the best book in the entire series, I really liked it. I liked meeting Quinn, who is one of my favorite characters to date. I liked the story a lot, and I don't really understand or agree with some of the negative reviews. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however, and my opinion is that this was a fine book in the series. The only thing that I didn't really care for was the whole arc of Goblin and Quinn.
