Thirst No. 2: Phantom, Evil Thirst, and Creatures of Forever by Christopher Pike
4.0
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.
