A review by kerveros
Black Blood by Christopher Pike

2.0

Although the first book in the series mostly held up to my memory this one was not as good... on the plus side
Ray did die, and Yaksha has a cameo!
.

Sita was, in the first book quite moral - at least to her own sense of right and wrong, but the events at the end of this book (and by this I mean her
saving Joel by turning him into a vampire
seem to go against the events of the first - even she herself thinks she has lost Krishnas grace (though that is more looked into in Red Dice, the third book in the series).

Eddie isn't as interesting a villain as Yaksha was - he seems more like a henchman as opposed to a 'big bad'... I also don't understand how he is able to cope with the changes his vampiric powers bring in such a short period of time.

This never was my favourite book but it didn't 'age' as well as the first...
