This continues the series in basically the same way as before, with many of the same characters.

I discovered this book yesterday morning and was amazed and pleased that the author had resurrected the series. The book follows the same character I fell in love with in the six first installments of the Last Vampire series in middle school with minor changes. The book takes its time building up to its end, a welcome change from the seemingly faster pace of the original books, no doubt a benefit afforded Pike by his publisher, who seems to have given him much more space for the newer installmen...more

I purchased each book as it hit the shelves and devoured them gleefully. I was so terribly unhappy that the series ended in The Last Vampire: Creatures of Forever. That said, however, the ending of that book, the end of the series, was perfect. All the loose ends were tied up into a nice little bow. All questions answered. It was over.

Imagine my surprise (and from what I've seen by poking around the internet, the surprise of many) when I saw that there was going to be a 7th book. What? But Sita's story was over! Done! Finished! We, her devoted fans, knew precisely what happened, we knew her story, we knew the truth, we'd read THE END. Boy were we fooled.

Like many others I wondered how, after such a solid ending to the series, Christopher Pike could bring Sita back into the limelight. I imagined it would be stunningly brilliant, written eloquently and beautifully...the story would flow from the pages into my brain and I would sigh in utter bliss.

Yeah, no.

By the end of Chapter 2, I was so thoroughly and completely disgusted with the blatantly SILLY way that he brought her story back into play that I had to place my bookmark on the page, close the book, and walk away. It was that, or fly to Christopher Pike's house and ask him very plainly, "What were you THINKING?". And where was his EDITOR? Seriously?

Of course, it's -Sita-, man. You have to find out what happens to her, you have to see. After a day or two, when my level of rage over the absolutely insanely boring way he explained things, I picked up the book again.

Boy am I glad I did. I know that not everything Christopher Pike writes is a masterpiece. He's not the most brilliant author, at times his writing is choppy and he is repetitive in a way that makes me grit my teeth, but the story - ah the story! By the end of Chapter 3 I was hooked. I forgot, since it's been nearly a decade since I've read a Christopher Pike novel, that sometimes he starts slow. But then the flow happens and you're drawn into the tightly woven story that keeps you snugged tightly in its arms until it darn well chooses to release you. For me, that was at the very last page, the whispered words that sealed that particular portion of the novel also assured that I will be anxiously awaiting, and pre-ordering, Thirst No. 4. Yes, people, there's another coming. Summer of 2011, it says. Read stories 1 - 6 (or Thirst No 1 and Thirst No 2), Read Thirst No. 3: The Eternal Dawn. Sita dazzles, but not in that sparkly glittery craptastic way that Dear Eddie does...I promise you'll be enchanted.(less)

I very much preferred the previous series (books 1 and 2). I thought that the other books ended well, though they did leave the story of Paula and John unfinished. Christopher Pike, I love you, but this one was a little lacking. Things Sita could do in the other books, like be unaffected by alcohol, break through concrete walls, and know when anyone was near, were mysteriously missing all of a sudden.

What Went Write: (+5) Vampires and Religion

One of the reasons I continue to find this series so intriguing, the main reason I continue to read it actually, is the unique combination of vampire lore and spirituality. Most young adult vampire literature, if it is bold enough to address the issue at all, does so in either an offhand, or timid and cautious manner. Usually, (in America, anyway) Christianity is the only belief system in question: Why God created vampires… why God continues to allow th...more

"The Last Vampire 7: The Eternal Dawn"

Even after a decade, I love that Pike was still able to capture the spirit of the series.

When I found out that "The Last Vampire" series was being re-released as "Thirst" I just had to reread the series from the start. My big concern was getting through "The Last Vampire 6: Creatures of Forever" again. It had always felt forced to me--like Pike was told he had to conclude the series and move on--or that someone else had written it, except for the epilogue. B...more

First things first. I know the ending to Thirst #2 probably made you think that there couldn't possibly be another book. I though so too.
Sita never really died, that was just Seymour writing his books. Seymour and Sita have this this strange telepathic bond that is hard to explain. Therefore they have never truly met in real life.
The book doesn't start slow like most books do, it's instant action throughout the book. Although there are some long conversations that some may find boring. I also f...more

This review might be a bit long. I grew up with Sita and the first six Last Vampire novels (here-to-for renamed Thirst No. 1 and Thirst No. 2, I guess? Fucking dumb) and was shocked to learn that after a decade, a new Last Vampire book is out!

First, I've always loved Pike's style. While his books are of varying successes (usually learning towards "bad," but in an acceptable, occasionally-camp way) they feel inclusive and are easily digestable - obviously whether that's good, or if he makes stuff too simple, is obviously personal preference, but honestly I think that's what makes really successful Young Adult (including stuff like The Hunger Games and Ender's Game) work, is the ability to be fairly straightforward, with little artistic flourish, but in a way that doesn't staunch the voice of the novel. That's all I ever wanted as a young adult, really, was a novel that didn't feel pandering, in the way that a book written by an adult for an eleven year old can kind of trend.

(Also note, this book isn't on par with Ender's Game or anything written by Suzanne Collins, just that they represent a similar straight-froward, no bullshit, "appropriate" for the age group content that challenges and consumes without being pedantic. It's just great writing, I guess?)

I'm only partially finished with this, but the relationships Sita is developing feel strangely to broad for her, a real shift in character, which she has already even commented on. For the normal scope of the series, she is already acting bizarrely around multiple other people, but given that this one new book, No. 3, is the length of three previous books means I'm more open to needing a broader spectrum. Reminding me a little of the Rachel Morgan series (Dead Witch Walking, by Kim Harrison) just minus almost all of the humor. Sita gets a chuckle to herself throughout, but so far it's all recycled crap, a Last Vampire trademark. Sita drops her signature phrases in a way that never feels clever or fun - it might as well say, "Then Sita said that thing she says every time."

The first big fight scene, though, in Sita's country villa with the sniper in the woods - one of the best of Pike's career. It's big and fun, pretty much. Not quite as epic as some of her past fights (falling off a building into a swimming pool and exploding open, in whatever book that happened in) but still really phenomenal.

Sita gets fucked up, which is fun. Really very graphic, but restrained gore - having to pinch her liver's main artery shut so her vampire healing can restore it... So she digs around in her liver, in the woods, during a firefight, with her bare fingers... Neat. Quality shit.

So far a huge improvement over Creatures of Forever, the weakest of the series and kind of a total dump overall.

Total cliffhanger ending, but it wrapped up one of the weaker points. Matt's true identity was a total duh, but overall very interesting, engaging story.(less)

That last book in the omnibus might as well have not even happened. And in this new book, it didn’t. It happened in Seymour’s writing. Apparently, from what I understood, Alisa has been telepathically linked to Seymour and giving him the idea for his books about her. Is this a cop-out? Yes! Gah, this drove me nuts the entire time I was reading it. And Seymour is a famous writer now, but sort of a recluse because he writes under different names, and has never revealed who he is. When this was brought up, I couldn’t help but think if Mr. Pike was poking fun at himself.

But anyway…Notice how her eye color is different in the covers. Here, her eyes are blue. Which I guess has some significance considering all the stuff that probably did not happen in the other books, but still did, in some weird way. And the plot! The plot! I couldn’t wrap my head around it because I just didn’t get it. It wasn’t as interesting as the other books, and it all leads to one thing… Alisa living, but in Teri’s body! So that is where Thirst #4 will pick up, which comes out this summer. Plus, this took me awhile to read, longer than I would have liked. At one point, I considered just stopping, which rarely happens.

There was also a really long and drawn-out scene where Alisa comes back to her place and has to save herself from someone who is trying to kill her. It felt like something that belonged in a Tom Clancy book. I just kept skimming it.

Oh and the big bad that Alisa was fighting? There were two of them. One which was some sort of government operation, and the other was a bunch of Immortals. Yep. Immortals. One of whom Alisa has a thing for….The question was: which big bad was the lesser of two evils? Well that remains to be seen.

I think I will still find myself reading the new book this summer, no matter what, despite all this negativity I feel towards this new book. I mean, I never read Pike when I was younger so I’m curious to know how die-hard Pike fans feel about this revitalization of the series and how they feel about these new books. Anyone? Because even I’m not too happy with it.

But despite all this, the one thing that really gets me interested in these books is Sita’s spirituality. The conversation never stops and it is rather enlightening. Yeah, we have vampires like Angel who try to do good because of all the bad they did, but Sita is a vampire who just takes it to another level. And I admire that in these books. So that is why I will most likely read Thirst #4.(less)

Before this book came out, I knew the first six books (originally published in the 90's as "The Last Vampire" series) were re-released in two volumes called "Thirst: No. 1" and "Thirst: No. 2." With the vamp-papalooza lately, I wasn't surprised the publishers would try and get Christopher Pike's older, but still relevant, vampire stories noticed.

I have the original six books. They are short and small paperbacks that left you on the edge of your seat. The sixth book neatly tied up the series. I was happy with it. It was complete. It's one of the few sets of books I've read more than twice. I wished it would've been made into movies, etc.

Then, I realize that this latest title "Thirst No. 3: The Eternal Dawn" was a continuation of "The Last Vampire" from the 90's. I asked for it from Santa. Luckily, I got it and it took me two sit-downs to read the 478 pages (way longer than any of the "Last Vampire" books when they were originally published).

The voice of the character was still fairly similar, and I found it super easy to get back into the series after 15 years. Luckily, the book picks back up in "real time" and is 15 years later, as well.

(Here's the thing: In the last book, before it was all republished, Sita/Alisa had the chance to renig any of the vampire stuff that happened to her and because of that, she ended up being a human at the end of the sixth book...as if her life as a vampire never happened. This was how I ended the series 15 years ago, thinking nothing more would come to it.)

I thought this was a cool/sad way to end the story, so you find my surprise when, we, the reader, find out that Sita is alive and well.

The plot "twist" that allowed this was decent enough. Believable. I felt like Pike pounded it into our heads a few times too many, though.

That's OK. I love this series so much that, in my heart, Pike can do NO wrong with it. It can get absolutely crazy, and I will stand by it as brilliant.

It was one of the first vampire stories I ever read and since it's ingrained in my childhood, it will always be one of my favorites, especially since "No. 3" was left in a crazy cliffhanger (as I should've known) and "No. 4" will come out this summer, and by golly, it better.

Here's the thing, though. Pike cannot half-ass it. It's been known that he doesn't sometimes finish series/sequels (The "Alosha" trilogy was said to have a fourth book, but it's never come out, while "The Cold One" was supposed to have a sequel, and THAT never happened). If he goes through with more books with Sita, it will need to end, otherwise I'll be really unhappy with abysmal, cryptic no-answers.

I was burned with "Night World" by L.J. Smith when she NEVER released the last book in the 10-book series.

Tsk. Tsk. (less)

It's suppose to be equal to the greatest act of charity, which Jesus describes in the Bible as sacrificing one's life to save the life of another.

The Vedas, the Bible, it's true, they overlap a lot.

Maybe gazing into Krishna's eyes...

Pain...Pain...Pain...

Is equal to Christ's sacrifice.

I'm only suffering this pain to protect John. It doesn't matter that he won't see me. I still love him, I will always love him. And in this exquisitely agonizing moment, I realize he refused to see me because he wanted to force me to see him inside. Ah, that's the key! This practice of visualizing that I'm staring into Krishna's blue eyes, I've done it before.

But this is the first time I see him staring back at me!

The Agony comes, and it does not get transformed into bliss.

If anything it is worse than before. Except for one thing.

The pain does not obliterate my sense of "I."

I'm still Sita, the last vampire.” — 6 people liked it
