PHANTOM, EVIL THIRST, CREATURES OF FOREVER

Christopher Pike brings your imagination back to the long, long life of Sita. Sita is a five thousand year old vampire and she believes to be the last. She was torn away from her loving husband and beautiful little girl when she was turned into a bloodthirsty vampire. The only regrets she has are of them. She has killed just for the hell of it, out of convenience, so she wasn’t outed by being non human, and for thirst. Of all those many she’s killed, there are no regrets. Her regrets are more emotional towards those she loved and lost and what she, herself has lost. Sita’s most desperate desire is to be human again and she gets that chance. There was no way of her turning down that opportunity even if she didn’t make it through. She still had to try.

Once becoming human which was what she wanted most of all, she found Ray again. Although he should be dead since she watched him blow up. But hey, who is she to question Krishna? Everything that Sita could have dreamed of was happening. She was living in a small house with Ray and she gets pregnant. Also finding an old soul that she feels that she knows but just met, turns into a loving friendship.

There are many, many, ups and downs in this book and I really liked it. I don’t think its one that I could read again and again but for a one-night-stand (as far as books go) it was worth a first read. Unlike Thirst No 1, I wasn’t as into it but I couldn’t put it down. Those of you that read all the time ought to know what I mean. I am a fiction reader. Once something hits too close to home about religion, I generally don’t go there. There was just enough to keep me interested in the vampire parts to not think so much about the religion. Krishna and the story behind him, I can handle but adding Kalika to the mix and what she stands for and all the prophecy about Jesus returning in a different form just isn’t my cup of tea. Like I said, I finished this book in 2 days so I did enjoy it but there was something about the religion part that would keep me from reading it again. Of course if you have read the first one, you have to read the second. I believe the first one leaves you hanging. I know that there won’t be any more books about Sita. Well I couldn’t guarantee that since it is fiction. I would give it 4 stars out of 5 but if you can get into the religious part then you would really enjoy it.

Happy Reading!!!
