Download Merrick Audiobook

" Rice melds her two series (Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witches) in this book. It's a good thing I had read the previous Witch books. I like the idea of the two stories in this book, and it doesn't feel too contrived to me because David Talbot is the connector. I will admit that I had to revisit/skim a few sections of both series so I could see how the characters all fit into this story. "

" Anne Rice is the best storyteller! I'm sure some of the imagery she generated in this book will stay with me forever. "

" One of my favorties in Rice's Vampire saga. "

" Merrick is OK for CD listening on a long car trip. I read many of the Anne Rice books years ago, and either I have moved on in taste or this Rice book just is not on par with others. It seems long and rambling. "

" Along with Tales of the Body Thief, and The Vampire Armand, Merrick was one of the few books within the Vampire Chronicles that I didn't care much for. I didn't like the character Merrick, and I did not like the general plot. It only furthered Louis' depression and we can never be fully sure whether or not he came to an inner peace. It seemed poorly written, and only half-hearted. Not a favorite. "

" For me, The Vampire Chronicles are the be-all-end-all of vampire novels. And while I have my favorites within the series, I find myself comparing every other vampire novel I read to the entire set. So, if you want to discuss them, go ahead and send me a note. And if you're new to the vampire genre, you can't go wrong with Anne Rice. "

" Ok she's starting to merge the Vampires and the Witches. Not bad. "

" Merrick, although slightly out of the Vampire tale, is a very interesting and beautiful story. Not as flowery as some of other Vampire Chronicles became after the first 3 so it made for a very nice read. Really interesting and romantic. "

" I don't remember much of this book. I've never liked witches though. They used to give me nightmares. "

" just got it today - what a great storyteller - stay tuned! "

" I would say this is where it seriously jumped the shark. "

" Only cared for Anne Rice's big five. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I think I skipped the one before it but it wasn't very hard to know what happened. Great read "

" A unique cross-over of the Vampires and Mayfair Witches. Very well written. "

" A new witch, eh? Okay, I'm in. Once again, adds to the Mayfair history. "

" Not bad, but not great either. "

" LOVED THIS ONE! This series just was so rich and kept giving and giving chills thrills and enjoyment! "

" Provides good history and perspective on the vampire "world" "

" Not as enthralling as her usual novels, but still enjoyable. Through telling the background of Merrick, it seemed to detract from the story of what was happening later. "

" Only the plot barely saves this book from the Crap Rice pile. Seriously, the Mayfair witches are perfect, their house is perfect, and they have perfect life which they are now going to live forever because some of them are vampires!! C'mon, Anne... "

" Voodoo and vampires in New Orleans and I love it. "

" One of the facts why I love this book is that they have a namesake character that plays only on 1 page in the book... Justine Dela Torre. "

" I always enjoy reading Anne Rice books. She writes with such detail that I can become completely immersed in the setting and characters. This book has a twist with a witch involved which I quite enjoyed. I haven't read the witch chronicles yet, but I will. I am sure I will enjoy the books. "

" this is probably the first Anne Rice book I didn't have to set down then revisit weeks later. I really liked Merrick, she's a wonderful edition. "

" Loved this as a follow up to Anne Rice's Witches Chronicles. "

" it was strange this time around. a female vampire that was a child, and louie and lestat were acting really strange... "

" this is the one about the witch right
*sigh* it's been a long time since I read
it so I've kind of forgotten most of it.
but at the time I loved it.
"

" Enjoyed going back to see what these vampires were doing versus Twilight! It was a good read. "

" Getting tired of Anne Rice's often used framed story lit device. The book, while well written and tolerable, didn't really get truly enjoyable until the end.
"

" wow i didnt realize it was number seven in a series that makes sense......... i couldnt finsh it "

" meh. the only reason i bothered to finish it is was a certain nostalgia for a few characters. "

" "Life belongs to those who are alive." "

" el punto de intersección con las Brujas de Mayfair, de mis historias favoritas. Sandra la Fría y Honey Rayo de Sol me visitaron en algunas pesadillas. "

" Merrick, although slightly out of the Vampire tale, is a very interesting and beautiful story. Not as flowery as some of other Vampire Chronicles became after the first 3 so it made for a very nice read. Really interesting and romantic.
"

" I don't remember much of this book. I've never liked witches though. They used to give me nightmares. "

" This is the first overlap between the vampires and the Mayfair witches, as well as the point when the Vampire Chronicles start picking up again after the rather dull Memnoch and Armand. Merrick is a great character, and it's nice to get more insight into the Talamasca. "

" Read it about almost a year ago. "
