Merrick (2000) - Anne Rice - Book Review

Official Score = 3 Devils

Anne Rice's, 'Vampire Chronicles', have now taken us all over the world, and through out time, we have gotten to know characters from the two movies in a more deeper and personal level, and I don't know about you, but reading these novels, I have to say that I really enjoyed these novels a fair amount!

Now I hope that I have given you guys a fair and fun, and accurate depiction of what these books are all about, and I hope that at least with some of you, that you have been able to jump in to the series with as much interest as I had when I was still going through the novels... One of the reasons that I mention this is because this next review is for an installment in the series that is a little bit different, yet very fun!

I still don't get why this story was never turned in to a movie!

That is the crossover between, 'The Vampire Chronicles' and another of Anne Rice's famous novel series (a series that I am particularly surprised never made it to the big screen,) that being, 'The Mayfair Witches' series.

You see, this novel tells the story of how when Louis enlists the help of one of the Mayfair witches, (a family of witches, that have an old and illustrious history,) to try to resurrect his vampire daughter, 'Claudia', the novel dives in to the world of Merrick Mayfair (the witch that was summoned), but in the end, Merrick has an ulterior motive, and we will find out once and for all what happened to Louis's Vampire child!

Kirsten Dunst as, 'Claudia' and Brad Pitt as, 'Louis' in the movie that would make bring them together as vampiric father and daughter, as well as tear them apart!

In the end, this book is a lot of fun, and it does help arc Claudia's role in the series, but if you are looking for a strictly, 'Vampire Chronicles' novel... This one is not that... As a matter of fact, if you are strictly looking for a, 'Vampire Chronicles' novel, this is one that is only important in that context because it does finally allow us fans to put Claudia to rest... But if you are just looking for a fun story either way... This one is definitely one worth checking out!
