Blood and Gold by Anne Rice

I enjoyed this book, except for the subplot about the Norse vampire, Thorne, at the beginning and end. This frame story had a lot of promise but ended up making little sense to me. I think maybe it alludes to Norse myth, which has never been my forte. Whatever the reason, it left me scratching my head. But at least it gets Marius telling his life story… In short, this is a pretty good book. You may feel like you’ve read all this stuff before, but if you pay close attention, you’ll get to see the other side of the cool, logical Marius. Read the rest.
