If you've read my other reviews of Anne Rice books, you'll know that she frustrates me with her inability to write and ending, and this is no different. I read this book before the third in the trilogy had been completed, so I was frustrated, angry, mad! when I reached the end and it didn't end. Not fair to leave it with a cliff hanger. NO! You start a book, you have to finish it. Draw us into the next one, but don't leave me wondering what comes next, especially when I don't have access to the next book! Very angry when I finished this one.
