Nope. The Mayfair Witches books aren't about vampires until they start to crossover, which are the three that I mentioned (Merrick, etc.) and those don't actually count as Mayfair books anymore. She also writes erotica and books with strong religious undertones. The thing about Anne Rice is that her presentation of religion is a story element rather than a preachy one, so I'd never call her writing religious in nature. You'll find many allusions to Christianity and other/older religions in the Vampire Chronicles (especially Memnoch, which is a very literal walk through Hell, so the religious allusions are expected), and they serve to enhance the plot. Reading what she writes is what I can only describe as porn for the mind. It's so mentally stimulating and engaging that you always want more than she gives you and it's almost painful to put it down. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the books. Interview with the Vampire was honestly the least powerful book she's written outside of her erotica.
