This book is actually a re-release of Christopher Pike's "The Last Vampire" teen series from the mid-nineties. This book includes the first three (of six) books in that series. They were relaxing quick and easy reads, which I enjoyed. Sita (or Alisa, as is her modern name) is a 5,000 year old vampire and the story is told from her point of view. I thought each story became progressively more interesting and enjoyable, as Pike weaves flashbacks of Sita's past into it along with some twists and turns. As are a lot of vampires, Sita is not a monster. I do think Sita seemed to kill unnessesarily at times, which bothered me, although the killing isn't very graphic. Pike seems to write tastefully.
I recommend this to anyone who enjoys vampire stories.

This was one of my favorite series as a teenager. As an adult I still think it's pretty good. I highly recommend these books. Any teen will eat these books up. Sita is my favorite vampire from any vampire books I've read. Read and you will understand. She has no equal.

Dreadful! The main character, Alisa, is unlikeable and unbelievable. I could not connect with her at all, which I partially blame on the writing style. It is downright horrible. It reminds me of junior high english class. The sentences are no longer then 10 words, so they are feel blunt and cut short. It leaves the context feeling empty and choppy, and hard to follow. I realize it's directed at the young adult but I feel there are many other novels out there written far better and are far more enjoyable than this one. I recommend you spend your money, and your time, elsewhere.

Not a fan. Although the writing is clearly for younger readers, I do not think the content is appropriate. The leading lady had two things on her mind: sex and killing. Although the author does not go into a lot of detail in the sex scene, the leading lady uses her "charm" to manipulate and then happily kills whoever gets in her way (everyone). I was disappointed with these books and found the heroine completely unlikeable.

I borrowed this from a friend since I had a shortage of books to read. The plot grabbed me instantly but it quickly fizzled out for me. I felt so sorry for Sita. I mean can't this girl catch a break! It quit reading After her second love interest in the present time got killed. I finally picked it back up and finished it. It was okay and since my friend has the second book I'm willing to give it another chance.

I admit to having had no experience with Pike's wrwiting until this book, and I admit it took me some time to get through this book. The stories are good, and the way he goes from one to the next flows well, I can't truly say why it took me so long to read this one, much less the 2nd one. It is a different look at vampires and how they are made and such, so I will give him kudos for creativity with an old subject matter.

Not real impressed with this book. Very slow. Too much talk of Alisa's past & Krishna. Did not really like the characters. Did not even finish the last part of the book.
