After many months of reading the Thirst series by Christopher Pike. I thought I have finally able to finished the series. However, today I found out that there is a new book coming this October. The story was well ended, I'm not sure how the author managed to bring the main character back.
At first I wasn't too interested in this series but the more I read it the more I was pulled into the adventures. Pike introduced a very interesting concept into the vampire genres.
However, there was only one thing which I still could not understand why. Pike described the main character as blonde with green eyes. Yet she was originated from India. This is the only point I could not make sense of although there are various supernatural powers involved. I guess I just love reading a story :)

There were initially 6 books in the series and have been compiled into 2 volumes.
Alisa has been in control of her urges for the five thousand years she has been a vampire. She feeds but does not kill, and she lives her life on the fringe to maintain her secret. But when her creator returns to hunt her, she must break her own rules in order to survive.
Her quest leads her to Ray. He is the only person who can help her; he also has every reason to fear her. Alisa must get closer to him to ensure her immortality. But as she begins to fall in love with Ray, suddenly there is more at stake than her own life....

Can Alisa resolve her past and build a new identity, or is she doomed to repeat her fatal mistakes?
