1: Oh, dear Lord.
I read all three of these books, partially out of train-wreck syndrome and partially because I was working as a tow-truck dispatcher and was bored (the other dispatcher got them from the library and passed them on to me, because I read fast.) They were so un-exciting I felt no shame at all reading them at work.
But this one, out of the three, was the absolute worst. I can sum up the reason in two words (SPOILER ALERT, and no, those are not the two words): THE CAT.
Oh, God, the cat. Whether or not the concept of bestiality squicks you, the practical concerns of a cat licking a sensitive area? OW. Take a look at a close-up picture of a cat's tongue - go ahead, I'll wait. See? That there's nature's Velcro, man, and not the soft fuzzy side of the Velcro, either, either. But apparently in Anne Rice world, that doesn't hurt at all.
I'd long suspected that Anne Rice was, in fact, two sandwiches short of a picnic, but that confirmed it.

2: insightful
This book is insightful into submissive dominant relationships. It also seems to have rehabilitating qualities in concern to this.

3: Fantasy world
I am not writing a review for all three books..or maybe I will just copy and paste this post to all three.
My title says is it all. These are Adult FairyTale FANTASY books. Please do not read these books and base them on real life. I need to make that clear. I LOVE these books and think about them often. They are mind blowingly wonderful but fully fantasy. I chuckle when people review "that could never happen" or something like that because, UHM YEAH! not real life. Be warned, there is major kink and lots of spanking.
Pretty much everyone in this world is bi-sexual.
The naked slaves never get cold.
Seems to skip right over winter.
No woman's periods, no STI's or STD's and constant intercourse without protection doesn't seem to result in pregnancy.
This is not a manual of the BDSM lifestyle.
There seems to be hundreds and hundreds of princes and princesses and of course, they are all beautiful.
This is out and out a full on fantasy world and it is wonderfully erotic. I am sure that these books are not everyone's cup of tea but I was very much taken in with this fantasy world.

4: Great book!
This series of books is absolutely fascinating! Even though the material inside shocked and even disgusted me at times, I just couldn't put the book down. The description of the condition of the book was right on, and the timing of delivery was super fast.

5: Read this one.
I love Anne Rice and I think she is a top notch erotica author. Having said that, this sequel to the first, Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, is a joy to read. It's almost better than the first book, if that is possible. I really got into the story and didn't want it to end--good thing there's a sequel to this one! (Three books in total.) If you like bdsm fiction and hot erotica, do not overlook this one. It's a classic in every sense of the word. Another good bdsm erotica; Breaking the Girl and Eager to Please: Two Erotic Novels of Submission.
