It took ten years to write and while I waited for my editor to get back to me with revisions, I began to miss the characters.
While there are flashbacks in history to some of the key moments in both Lanny’s and Adair’s lives, we’re much more in the present day, pursuer and the pursued.ĭid you know when you first started thinking of the entire story that it would be a trilogy? She must figure out how to stop him a second time, and figure out how to keep her loved ones safe from Adair as well. He finally is freed and is coming after her, intent on revenge. It’s basically a chase book: The heroine, Lanny, managed to trap the formidable and nearly unstoppable immortal Adair for two centuries. THE RECKONING is very different from the first book in the trilogy. Is the action and emotion getting more intense? THE RECKONING is the second book in your Taker Trilogy. That kind of man is as irresistible as catnip to some readers-and I hope all of Lestat’s fans find their way to THE TAKER to check out Adair. They’re both seductive, charming, calculating, selfish, cruel and doomed to suffer for their shortcomings. From what I recall of him, I’d say yes, Adair seems to be cut from similar cloth even though he’s not a vampire. I have to admit to not being a Lestat expert, having only read INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE and not all of Anne Rice’s books with this character. Your character Adair has been called “The 21st century Lestat.” Would you agree with this?
We were able to talk to Alma about her trilogy and the challenges she faced when starting out as a debut author. Alma has been compared to the early works of Anne Rice, quite an accomplishment for a debut author. Her first book THE TAKER was named as one of the Top ten debut books of 2011 by the American Library Association. Alma Katsu is back with her second book in the Taker Trilogy called THE RECKONING.
