Thirst, No 1

Monicap

Not the best book in the world. Not the worst, but definitely not the best.
The writing style on this was just weird, if you ask me. And the entire time, I felt disconnected from the main character. Not a good sign. 
Also, I did not believe her and Ray’s love story. At all. At one point, the main character said some thing like “Because I am five thousand years old, I tend to make my relationships happen very fast. So, even though I’ve only known Ray and Seymour for a day, I already consider them both friends.”
I feel like the author put this in there to justify her declaring her love for Ray one day later.
I didn’t believe it.
Yes, I get that he is the reincarnation of her husband, Rama. But that when love story was told to us, I didn’t believe that one either. “I saw him and it was like I knew.”
In fact, I have created a list of all the love stories mentioned in this book in order of which ones I find most believable and like the best.

Yaksha
Joel 
Arturo
Harold
Cleo 
Rama
Ray

Yes, Yaksha is at the top of that list. I happen to like Yaksha. A lot.

I did enjoy all the Indian mythology in this book. It reminded me of the book I had that I hadn’t read since middle school, Stories from India by Anna Milbourne.
(view spoiler)[Also, I’m not sure if anyone else noticed this, but she met Ray, fell in love with him, and less than a week later, he was dead. The Same Thing Happened With Joel. Coincidence? I think not. (I don’t believe in coincidences) (hide spoiler)]
Will I read the rest of this series? Yes, probably. Eventually. In the meantime, I have other things to read, however.

2.75 I think is a more accurate rating. I'm not really sure how I feel about this series. The plot was fine (for the most part) but the characters were a little unbearable to read about. I think my favorite out of the three stories was black blood. But I don't think I'll be continuing on with this series.

The first part always takes a while for me to read through but I always fly through the other two.

Alisa Perne is the last vampire. Beautiful and brilliant, she hunts alone, living among humans, living off humans. But someone is stalking her. Someone wants her dead. And Alisa has a choice to make - to keep a long held promise or protect the mortal she seems to be falling for.

The Last Vampire

Either 3 or 4 stars. I'll update the rating once I write out a proper review. I will say this is probably one of the better vampire novels I have come across, but there were certain aspects that rather irked me; mainly with the relationships involved.

Suspecting the detective she killed in self-defense is stalking her, a vampire becomes a high-school student to befriend the detective's son, with whom she falls in love. By the author of Bury Me Deep. Simultaneous.

Loved it, the story line had a dark/gothic feel to it, as it should for a vampire series. I loved Christopher Pike's writing style in this series, as that was a big part that kept me reading and wanting more.
