hunter, and a formidable adversary for Lestat. James
offers Lestat the opportunity to switch bodies temporarily
with a young mortal. Against Louis' advice, Lestat accepts
and discovers he hates everything about being human. He
also finds that James has disappeared with Lestat's
powerful vampire body. Louis refuses to help Lestat become
a vampire again, and he turns to another mortal to help
him trick James into switching souls, and giving up
Lestat's body.
