[Announcement] Bonus Book | Lasher by Anne Rice (Lives of the Mayfair Witches #2)

PinnedAnnouncement

Dear readers,

The path has revealed itself, and we will continue with the second installment of The Lives of the Mayfair Witches: Lasher.

Our witches' coven, u/IraelMrad, u/epiphanyshearld, u/Less_Tumbleweed_3217, and myself, u/Greatingsburg, welcomes you to join us this September for a wicked pre-Halloween read. The reading schedule will be posted sometime in August.

And if you've missed the magical Witching Hour, fret not, the posts remain open for you to comment and slip into the discussion whenever you want.

On that note, The Vampire Chronicles will have to wait a bit as we explore other supernatural tales of Anne Rice. But don't worry, they're not going anywhere. If you're craving something vampiric in the meantime, I also highly recommend Fledgling, which r/bookclub will be reading soon!

See you soon 📖🕯

Stoygraph Blurb: ‼️ I don't recommend reading it as it is VERY spoiler-heavy ‼️

!The Talamasca, documenters of paranormal activity, is on the hunt for the newly born Lasher. Mayfair women are dying from hemorrhages and a strange genetic anomaly has been found in Rowan and Michael. Lasher, born from Rowan, is another species altogether and now in the corporeal body, represents an incalcuable threat to the Mayfairs.
