4. Finishing up BLOOD and GOLD by Anne Rice

A terrific and atmospheric novel about the Vampire, Marius from Ancient Rome, as he tells his story from the 4th century as he is introduced, to the latter part of the 18th century. A page turner that often refers to the Vampires Armand and Lestat. The infusion of real historical figures like Florentine artist Sandro Botticelli, makes for an interesting read.

I highly recommend this novel for anyone who considers themselves a fan of Rice's Vampire novel series.
