Lasher
(Anne Rice)
Lasher is book 2 out of 3 of the mayfair witch trilogy (the witching hour, Lasher and Taltos) if you haven't read the first book then this review will be of no use, i can't put anymore information as it will spoil the first book.It continues the story of Rowan Mayfair and Michael Curry. In the witching hour we meet Lasher as only a spirit who has been helping/haunting the powerful Mayfair witches.
It becomes obvious that he wants to become of the flesh again and in Lasher we are told his ellusive story. The book is set in set in New Orleans, the Garden district but flits to Donnelaith Scotland.
Rowan is the legacy of the Mayfair fortune and a very powerful witch, Married to Michael Curry and haunted by Lasher the spirit
Lasher having now been reborne of Rowan Mayfair and keeping her prisoner now wants to reproduce more demons like himself,( but can he do it with Rowan or other Mayfair females) mainly a female so they produce a strong demon to help them get their ideal goal. Can the Mayfair family stop this goal?
we also meet all the members of the Mayfair family and find out why it was Rowan who had this adventure.
Anne makes Lasher a monster a lover a deceitful person but in the end you almost feel sorry for Lasher.
The Mayfair witches are as enthralling as the vampire chonicles and can also go side by side with them in so far as the witches are mentioned in the chronicles.I found the book enthralling and couldn't put it down as with all of Annes writings, She goes into so much detail about New Orleans and other parts of the country even if you have never been there you feel that you know the places.You feel you can almost smell the flowers and surrounding shrubbery and the scent of fear!
