"Smart, sexy and courageous vampire"
5 stars"

My favourite series to date! Christopher Pikes thrilling story of a ancient vampire coming to terms with what she has become, what she fears and how she can protect those she has come to love.

Sita was originally born in india in a time where krishna walked the planet. Sita has a very strong connection to his beliefs and follows his path of righteousness, when she is turned into a blood thirsty vampire how can she portray her love and kindness when she's a horrific killing machine?

The story is rich in detail and by half way through this first novel you know who the characters are what their beliefs, personality, dreams are and how the ancient world would have been like if you were standing right there with Sita.

Christopher has a unique story and i'm not much for religious storylines however he captured me with Sita's love for humanity and how she would do anything to become a normal being once again her pain is so heart wrenching.

However there is much action and grusome detail of her riding humanity of evil that walks the planet in the story which gripped me, Sita has abnormal abilities when she is threatened or her loved ones are threatened there is NOTHING she wont do to protect them ;] throughout the novel she is always improving her powers and putting herself in danger time and time again to protect the human race from evil we could not even imagine. I was impressed with her smarts and abilities to ward off enemies. After finishing this novel I was hanging for the next book and I felt I knew Sita personally I believe this could be a top 100 story!

Thrilling, action packed, heart wrenching and very detailed. A must read story if you like vampires you WILL be on the edge of your seat!

"Pike provides a vampire action packed read with Thirst."
4 stars"

I have alway been a fan of Christpher Pike since I was a teen so I thought I would give this a go. One thing is for sure Christopher Pike does not disappoint.

The main character Sita is an ancient vampire. She speaks her mind and knows her strengths.

This series is not a simple tale of a vampire heroine, it has quite a religious aspect to it, Sita is very dedicated to her beliefs.

Pike provides us with an interesting story. It is action packed, good read. The only problem I had was to read all three books back to back a bit too overwhelming. Though if you're a fan of Pike's work, vampires and the supernatural world Thirst will keep you entertained.

Description

As to blood --
ah, blood, the whole subject fascinates me. I do like that as well, warm and dripping, when I am thirsty. And I am often thirsty....

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....
