Customer Reviews

Amazing read for any Pike fans.

Ok, first of all, let me point out the very well known fact that Christopher Pike, as talented as he is, does not have that much respect from the critics, much like the Horn Book review of this novel. But that's because of a couple of reasons: First of all, you have to have patience with his books. What I mean by that is, I mean that in order for you to like it, you have to read the entire book of his. And, in the entire last vampire series, I think the entire series is one book, telling one story of the same character with a bunch of unique plot twists intertwining. It's a great book, and so is the rest of the series. Sita grows from a cold blooded creature to a character that You later learn to love if you read the rest of the series. The entire series is good, buy it, read it, enjoy it. you'll like it.

Excellent

I read the editors review and I disagree. Im 22 and I started reading Christoper Pike in my teenage years. I think that the way he writes adds a slice of reality to his books. Alisa may seem cold blooded in this book, but you really must move on to the next for she turns into a loving and wonderful parent. One who is willing to shed her own blood as well as her life for her child as the stories progress. I don't think any parent should be worried about purchasing any book of Christoper Pikes for their children. They are wonderful and intriguing, opening doors to the imagination that lead the reader on wonderful adventures of danger, love, and heartbreak.

Lost for words

Wow! The second book in The Last Vampire series is even better than the unbeatable first book! Keep writing like this Mr Pike and you'll have me buying every single book you write!

Pike is amazing!

Pike certainly spun out a golden tale when he created Sita. Alisa is a 5,000 year old vampire that you DON'T wanna mess with. And she's NOT your classic vampire. In each of the books in The Last Vampire saga, she meets a new and harder challenge. And you don't want the story to ever end.

The Best Vampire, since Anne Rice's Lestat

this has to be one of the greates, most powerful vmaire book in history!- Beautifully written with great detail and emotion. the book follows the life of Sita, a Vampire created 5000 years ago, through her journeys to save the world from the evil vampires that wish to take over. The story is seen through, not only her eyes, but her thoughts, her dream, and even her imagination. She thought she was the last, but she can feel the existance of another vampire. This is probably Christopher Pike's masterpiece, the best in the Last Vamire saga, and probably the best book ever written
