Thirst No. 1 by Christopher Pike

Thrist No.1 is composed of three books into one, The Last Vampire, Black Blood, and Red Dice .

This book keeps you interested enough to finish it.

There is a lot of action, the stories are a bit unique but the characters don't really draw you in and attract you. You don't get " lost" in this book.

Pike knows how to tell a good story but a few less words would make it more thrilling.

Overall it is an ok book.

Grade: A

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....
