Thirst No. 3: The Eternal Dawn

Hello again, Sita.

Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire series was one of my favorite things to read as a youngster. I purchased each book as it hit the shelves and devoured them gleefully. I was so terribly unhappy that the series ended in The Last Vampire: Creatures of Forever. That said, however, the ending of that book, the end of the series, was perfect. All the loose ends were tied up into a nice little bow. All questions answered. It was over.

Imagine my surprise (and from what I've seen by poking around the internet, the surprise of many) when I saw that there was going to be a 7th book. What? But Sita's story was over! Done! Finished! We, her devoted fans, knew precisely what happened, we knew her story, we knew the truth, we'd read THE END. Boy were we fooled.

Like many others I wondered how, after such a solid ending to the series, Christopher Pike could bring Sita back into the limelight. I imagined it would be stunningly brilliant, written eloquently and beautifully...the story would flow from the pages into my brain and I would sigh in utter bliss.

Yeah, no.

By the end of Chapter 2, I was so thoroughly and completely disgusted with the blatantly SILLY way that he brought her story back into play that I had to place my bookmark on the page, close the book, and walk away. It was that, or fly to Christopher Pike's house and ask him very plainly, "What were you THINKING?". And where was his EDITOR? Seriously?

Of course, it's -Sita-, man. You have to find out what happens to her, you have to see. After a day or two, when my level of rage over the absolutely insanely boring way he explained things, I picked up the book again.

Boy am I glad I did. I know that not everything Christopher Pike writes is a masterpiece. He's not the most brilliant author, at times his writing is choppy and he is repetitive in a way that makes me grit my teeth, but the story - ah the story! By the end of Chapter 3 I was hooked. I forgot, since it's been nearly a decade since I've read a Christopher Pike novel, that sometimes he starts slow. But then the flow happens and you're drawn into the tightly woven story that keeps you snugged tightly in its arms until it darn well chooses to release you. For me, that was at the very last page, the whispered words that sealed that particular portion of the novel also assured that I will be anxiously awaiting, and pre-ordering, Thirst No. 4. Yes, people, there's another coming. Summer of 2011, it says. Read stories 1 - 6 (or Thirst No 1 and Thirst No 2), Read Thirst No. 3: The Eternal Dawn. Sita dazzles, but not in that sparkly glittery craptastic way that Dear Eddie does...I promise you'll be enchanted.

Thirst

I loved the book thirst even though its not for my age level. I love how the auther explained everything so well sure it was a bit hard to understand but, I got over that quickly. So I would rate this book 5 stars but remember start with the first one it will be alot easyer to understand the book, believe me I know how it feels.
P.S. The Thirst books are alot better than the twilight books!
That just my opinion o.k.

Welcome Back, Sita!

I read the first 6 books when they came out over 15 years ago and fell in love with Sita/Alisa then so I was thrilled to see her story continued. Thank you, Mr. Pike! She is an amazing character full of flaws and heart with a persistant desire to be 'good'. Christopher Pike is an awesome writer and I am glad that a new generation of readers are discovering him. I would love for him to write a new story about Shari Cooper from 'Remember Me'. If you loved Sita, you should check out Shari.......although you may have to search online. Like the original Sita books, the RM stories are oldies but goodies!

Good.

I finally got it. The first 2 books are what happened in Seymours book, so all that stuff was in his book. So it was a book in a book if that makes sense? I love Thirst, though. There amazing.

Great Book... but huh???

I loved the series but didn't Alisa turn human at the end and all the history was changed? I was so sad that she decided to give up her life even though it was tough, but she had saved alot of people so I didn't get it when she threw it all away. But she did leave it so how is there another book?

Thank you Christopher Pike

I have to be honest I wasn't a huge fan of the first two books. So when I read that there was another book in works I was apprehensive. I was hooked as soon as I started reading :) I was captivated by the new characters and couldn't wait to see what happened next. This book doesn't disappoint, so I can't wait to see what happens next.
