"ANNE RICE WILL LIVE ON THROUGH THE AGES OF LITERATURE."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"TALTOS IS THE THIRD BOOK IN A SERIES KNOWN AS THE LIVES OF THE MAYFAIR WITCHES . . . Their haunted heritage has brought the family great wealth, which is exercised from a New Orleans manse with Southern gentility; but of course such power cannot escape notice . . . or challenge. . .

good sequel to lasher... anne's writting reamins untouched.. very sensual and erotic, the characters have great charisma,and the space his very well described...i don´t like the slow progression of the action... but i loved, again, the time lapses...
Do not let size deter you from the first book in the captivating Mayfair Witches series. It delves into the ancient history of a clan of New Orleans witches while weaving a twisted history of the city and blue-blooded aristocracy. Twisted and enthralling, it sucks you in without spitting you out again… –Adrienne
My favourite of all the Anne Rice books!
Not Vampires this time but the Taltos the last one of a dying breed...
Makes you think and even look at people with red hair or the tall in new ways lol. :-)
Remarkably well paced, considering the clunker which opened the series. "Taltos" is intriguing, yet seriously demented.
Anne pulls her historical stunts on this one, but in an entirely supernatural way (less fact, more fiction). A good read and a fantastic conclusion to the series.
I felt so sad to finish this book as I really enjoyed the Mayfair witches series! I felt this book was nicely written and was an interesting end to the trilogy.
I was wondering if presenting Ash into the third book was going to work as it seemed too late to enter another main character and build them to the same standard as the others but I feel that it was accomplished.
An exceptional series!
i'm sad that it's the last one in the series...but it was really good! i wasn't too pleased with the ending though...
This is my first read of her Mayfair witch series and it is as addictive as her other novels. A really enchanting novel. I have no idea how someone can be so creative and able to describe with such believable realism. Really wonderful tale.
El tyercero de la trilogia de la serie de la brujas de Mayfair... esta increible... es uno de mis favoritas.. Anne Rice es una escritora magnifica te lleva por un mundo en tu imaginacion...
this book was facinating. i had to reread the first two of the mayfair witch books again before i could just jump into the third. it was a very interesting ending. kept you hanging. never resolved itself...but i like that. besides, i know it reallyp isnt the end of the story for the mayfair's because i know the vampires and mayfair's come together again to continue the legacy of both sides together.
