Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Want to be enveloped in to a new rich and exciting world ?
I thouroughly enjoyed this book and spent two very late nights up reading it too completion. I am an avid Vampire Cronicles fan, but I must say that by far the Mayfair Witches are my favourite Anne Rice Novels, so you can imagine I was really happy when I read the blurb and my favourite charcter Mona Mayfair was part of this story.
Unfortunately she wasn't in the book as much as I would have liked, however we are introduced to a new character Tarquin Blackwood (Quinn) and he is just a spectacular! His life story is of a large and loving family, a posse of ghosts and all facets of his erotic life, I fell in love with him and the novel. My only disappointment with this moving book was that I have too wait for the next one !!! I am sure I will often think about what will happen in the next installment and I am excited and expectant :)
Rating: - Great Novel!!!
This is a great novel. Blackwood Farm, with its grand Southern mansion, harbours a family of ghosts. Heir to them all is Quinn Blackwood, young, rash and beautiful, himself a tyro bloodhunter whom Lestat takes under his wing. But Quinn is in thrall not only to the past and his own appetites but, even more dangerously, to a companion spirit - a goblin succubus who could destroy him and others. Only the unearthly power of Lestat combined with the earthly powers of the ubiquitous Mayfair clan could hope to save Quinn from himself and his ghosts, or to rescue the doomed girl Quinn loves from her own mortality...Blackwood Farm is the ninth volume of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles series. After a number of her previous volumes have been given the Hollywood treatment (Interview with a Vampire and The Queen of the Damned) it almost seems that she has switched into 'writing for the movies' mode - every scene is so vivid that you can almost picture the boom mic accidentally appearing in shot. While her work is as strong and calculated as it has always been, reading Blackwood Farm you can't help but think that Rice is now a one-trick-pony. While there is much more to her work than stories of bloodsucking fiends, I am getting to the point where I want more from her work - I have grown up on her books and she has failed to grow with me. Blackwood Farm is exceptionally well written and it's great to see Rice on such good form. It's just that, for me, it's time she did something a little different to break away from the realm of the vampires.This is a great Novel, other novel's I like are Micheal Crichton's Prey an Paul Omeziri's Descent into Illusions.
Rating: - Welcome Back!
I thought this book was great! There were a few Anne Rice books over the past few years that just lost me (Memnoch, Lasher) or seemed to stand alone (Vittorio, Blood and Gold)--I read them, but they seemed disjointed and did not fit neatly into the chronicles. Blackwood Farm is wonderful. It blends the Vampire Chronicles with the Mayfair Witches and the Talamasca seamlessly and addictively. I thought the story of Quinn was fascinating and didn't mind that Lastat was only a supporting character--at least he was awake! I loved how Rice used characters from a couple of her other books. And I love how we are left waiting on edge for the next book to come out--soon please!!
