Blackwood is a beautiful farm with massive columns, gorgeous gardens, and a secret home on an island in Sugar Devil Swamp. Quinn Blackwood grew up in this beautiful home with family and his spirit Goblin, who only Quinn can see. The entire story is his telling of childhood into adulthood. After Quinn is turned into a Dark One (vampire) he seeks the help of the infamous Vampire Lestat. Goblin was once Quinn's loving confidant but as he ages, Goblin turns into a monster. Quinn must figure out how to rid himself of this spirit before it takes everything from him.
This book has a bit of a backstory. As a teen I checked it out from the local library and had to hide it in my room. My parents weren't thrilled with the idea of reading about vampires, spirits, and witches. I got caught and was unable to finish the story. Fast forward fifteen years and I got my own copy! I have admired Anne Rice for years. Her passing last year left a hole in the hearts of her many fans. She had a gift for turning dark novels into beautiful masterpieces. That being said I LOVED the storyline but there were parts that dragged on. It didn't get interesting until about halfway through the book but after that I was hooked! Quinn sucked me into his life story just as he did for the Vampire Lestat.
