{phantom} - {my thoughts} - Sita has an interesting daughter. She discovers that she is pregnant and she has a little girl. She also goes through a spat where she is seeing things that are not really there due to her mind playing tricks on her. Aside from that there are also instances in which she questions what she is doing and why she is doing it but it all comes down to instinct and survival. It makes me sad to realize that it was all just a book and not really a story that Seymour wrote a book and it ended… I know all good books and series come to an end but this one shouldn’t have ended here – however it did give the readers closure. I am happy to know that Pike continued the series even though he had ended it many years before.

{evil thirst} - {my thoughts} - This book seemed a little out there for me. I guess I can say what can you really expect. It introduces aliens into the series. As if vampires being reincarnated and living to do as they wish weren’t bad enough at this point. The fact of the matter is I think this book sort of sucked!

Sita - She chases after her daughter believing that it is her sole duty to protect Paula’s baby from her. She allows her hard headedness to get into the way of her being able to think clearly and in the end she nearly costs the lives of many individuals.

Seymour - He helps Sita track down Kalika when they attend a function about Sita’s old friend Suzama. It seems that they have found the key to the current problem by attending this function.

Kalika - She has a desire to get to Paula’s baby before anyone else and almost succeeds.

Paula/ Suzama - She apparently is a very powerful individual.

Dr. Seter – Is one of the individuals that had founded the group of people that had hosted the function about Suzama.

James/ Ory - He is an evil alien. His race wants the baby for all the wrong reasons. It is difficult to get the baby back from him but Sita does and she saves the baby’s life while ending James.


{creatures of forever} - {my thoughts} - This book was a nice ending to the tale of {The Last Vampire}. I liked this ending. I enjoyed it. I am utterly surprised that Pike decided to continue writing the series given that he had already ended it so nicely.

Sita - She decides that it is up to her to make things right. In her mind she doesn’t allow Yaksha to be born. She kills him in the womb. She makes it so she can remain human and live out her live with her husband and her daughter.

Seymour - It is discovered that he is really dying from aids and that he is really a writer. And that we were reading books he had written up until this point. That Sita wasn’t what we had come to believe she was.

Yaksha - Sita ended his life before it had began therefore he is no longer important.

Krishna - Stops to see Sita and asks if she is happy. At which point she replies she is and he leaves her.

The book started our good but after a while it is as if is trying to put every Sifi or mythological story into the book. so I just have a hard time wanting to keep reading. I like a story with a twist but this isn't a twist it a "this makes no sense" moment.

Christopher Pike did it again: he has surprised me again with how wonderfully he wove his tale into one cohesive thought. I really enjoyed the plot twists and how he worked his previous novels into this one.

Every book of his has a theme and these themes keep on getting weirder as you go on, but somehow it works. I don't know how he does it but it just makes sense that it is that weird. From second comings, time travel, and finally, aliens, you just know that this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. This book was more interesting than the first trilogy for me because it had a more spiritual side to it.

The characters are better and I like Alisa more now. I loved learning more about her past and how she could still mature even if she is incredibly old. I wouldn't change a thing about her; she is strong, loving, independent, and intelligent. What more could you want from a heroine? Especially after Bella Swan.

The writing style was still the same but I've learned to appreciate it. Maybe a five thousand year old vampire does talk in a detached and stilted manner. But I do commend him for removing the stupid pieces of dialogue in the first trilogy. I really could not take that.

Overall, the book was satisfying, especially the ending. I loved the ending. What I don't understand is how there is still a vol. 3 with this ending? I thought she was a goner but I guess I was wrong.

As good as the first!

Thirst 2 is the last three books in the original last vampire series.

If I tell you anything about these, it will give them away. So, I won’t tell you about the plots. I’ll give you a hint...it involves Sita, the last vampire, and beings who want her blood and/or want her dead. Haha...that also described the first book. Yet somehow it’s not repetitive or dull to me. Quite the opposite! Try putting them down and it feels like Sita is compelling you to keep going.

I was surprised that I didn’t notice any change between this and the original series. I expected a different ending in order for the series to continue. Yet there wasn’t one. It still ends with Seymour and his computer. This makes me even more curious about the next books!!

Read this series y’all! See why Sita grabs your heart and not in that vampiry I’m going to eat it way

I liked the fourth and fifth novel of this novel better then the sixth novel. Overall the story lines were good. I wasn't crazy about the last novel story line it was a little far fetched for my taste. But it wasn't that bad to were I couldn't finish it far from it! I love this series and would recommend to all my vampire loving friends!

Well, I liked the books in this series much more than the books grouped in Thirst #1. Sita became a human again at the start of this book and with becoming human also seemed to start to have honest emotions - feelings of love, empathy, forgiveness. I liked her progression in this book BUT...the plot went some very strange places. Some I liked - I liked the ongoing discussion in this book about religion, faith, and spirituality. Some of the insights in this book made me think so I can imagine how it may make a young adult think or rethink faith. I liked the time travel aspects of this collection of books as well as how it seamlessly intertwined with a beautiful and perfect ending that had me shedding a few tears at the end. However, some parts I didn't like - such as the aliens and creatures from another dimension. I feel like Pike tried to just incorporate too much into this book and it made the story-archs seems schizophrenic at best. When I started reading about the aliens I just thought: sigh, oh please. I still think it wasn't well written - choppy and disjointed. But about half way through this book I realized what I disliked so much about Sita as a character, as a vampire, and as the book in total. She was just too naive. For someone over 5,000 years old, for someone immortal, for someone who is the most powerful vampire....well I just don't know how she survived as long as she did. She didn't learn from her mistakes, kept making them over and over again, and just came across more and more like a ditzy blond. I think that I could accept the ruthlessness or the emotional disconnect, but it is the lack of learning, lack of growing, lack of "smart" that I didn't like. There is a Thirst #3 and I will most definitely NOT be reading that book. The original series wrapped up so beautifully that there is no need for me to continue reading a newer add on to the series.
