The Witching Hour by Anne Rice 1207 pages
Some people may say that Anne Rice is cliché’ thanks impart to the popularity of vampires in pop culture. However, Mrs. Rice also wrote a three part series about witches. The story begins in San Francisco and moves into New Orleans. A young woman moves to New Orleans after the death of her estranged mother. Her odd new family are happy to see her, for the most part, but are not too apt to tell her much about the family secrets. Fortunately for the readers the mysteries of the family are interwoven throughout the story and lead to some fantastical events and odd occurrences. There are references to God, the devil, witch craft, incest, inappropriate sexual relationships and dark themes. It is in my opinion Anne Rice’s best book.
