A review by bookluver5
The Shadow of Death by Christopher Pike
1.0
If you read my review for the first book this is almost the exact same word for word.
I don't know how this whole series ever got published and it was only stubbornness on my part that got me this far. The whole series is beyond ridiculous that I had to see how it ends. Normally I would have been able to read all 4 books in a week. A year later I still can't get myself to finish the last book. I'm so glad I didn't spend any money on these. If I had my $ would have been better spent if I just ate it. The series started out ok to begin with but just spiraled into an abysmal mess as it went on.
There is WAY too much going on in just 4 books. Vampires, time travel, aliens, inhabiting a descendent's body, mind powers, Jesus Christ (other similar representations from other religions too), and more. That alone should stop you right there. Not to mention everyone the main character loves and tries to save always dies. It's pathetic really. I'm insane for trying to read the whole thing. I'll probably want to burn the books if/when I ever finish reading the last one.
Update: So I never actually finished this series. I just discovered a fifth book and I refuse. No more. It's just too much...way too freakin much. Please God let there be no more. This trash is ridiculous. It could have actually been something decent at one point but....I'm done.
