I don't know how he does it, each book gets better than the last one. I was so surprised in the direction this one went. There have already been vampires(of course), aliens, time-traveling, meeting Krishna. Yet the newest twist in Sita's personal history was a jaw dropper.

Anyone who has not read these books, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? READ THE SERIES !!!

I want more, more, more!

Sita has had my heart since I met her. Her spunk, wit, and most importantly, her love, empathy, and compassion makes for the perfect lead character. If you haven’t started this series yet, you should!

In this book, Sita must confront someone who she fought against in the past, but barely got away from. Unfortunately, she blocked her memories from the past event and must unlock them to confront the evils she’s facing now.

I loved hearing more stories about Krishna! In this book we get to read about another memory Sita has with Krishna and Yaksha. There’s something in the memories of Krishna that makes me smile when I read them.

I can’t say enough good about this series! But with the good, there is one big sad part...I’m not ready to say goodbye to Sita

I love how the book ended but I would be sad if this was the end of Sita. Happy to have done a little research to see that Pike plans on writing a 6th book. Something about Sita...Something about Pike...Something that keeps me coming back for more.

Amazing. I will make sure to look for more of Christopher Pike's books. I feel bad for Sita. since she had to kill her only daughter. I really like Sita and I think that it was an amazing thing that she was turned into a vamp. I liked this book a lot. I can't believe that this is the end on the series though.

WHAT WHAT WHAT was that ending? Cliff hanger for a book that's suppose to be the final volume of Sita's life? Darn you Pike for being so amazing and addicting. If their is more to Sitas story after this novel I will be buying those books.

I said it in my update that its been a while since I had read the first four books in this series, so I was hesitant in picking up the fifth book, because I felt like since it had been so long I wasn't going to be into it. But boy was I wrong. The first chapter reeled me back in to Sita's story and everything that happened in the previous novels came back to my mind and I was just enjoying the story. I can honestly say that their wasn't one moment while reading this story when I became bored or impatient to finish just to finish. I enjoyed every moment and gosh Pike is so great at building up the action and his characters, even the ones that are unimportant, we get to know them so well!

So glad I finally decided to pick up this book this month and get back into this series. Pike is just great....just go and read this book.

I have finally finished Sita’s story. This series has had some interesting turning points that I did not expect. I liked this story but was a little underwhelmed by the ending.

I have a lot of complicated feelings about this book. Especially that ending.
