Here are a couple reviews for Ann Rice’s new book, Of Love and Evil, in the  Los Angeles Times and also from ABC News is an AP review.  Here’s a blurb from that:

More than 30 years after penning the now-classic “Interview With a Vampire,” best-selling author Anne Rice retains her knack for spinning an intoxicating yarn.  Her latest, “Of Love and Evil,” the second book in her “Songs of the Seraphim” series, begins with the poetic: “I dreamed a dream of angels. I saw them and I heard them in a great and endless galactic night.” From the opening lines and throughout the book, it’s classic and elegant Rice — who seemingly remains at the height of her talent……..The story follows the saga of former government assassin Toby O’Dare and the angel Malchiah as they travel back to 15th-century Rome to unravel the mystery of a poisoning and to save a family from itself.
