Thirst NO. 1

Thirst NO. 1 by Christopher Pike is a vampire book about a 5,000 year old vampire by the name of Sita. It is a trilogy-in-one with the books; Last Vampire, Black Blood, and Red Dice. But the story doesn't end there, there is another. Called Thirst NO. 2. But it was a very interesting story. It didn't quiet fit the "normal" category for vampire books these days. The main character of the story, Sita/Alisa, is actually not that great of a character. She is a killer and just out right cold at times. Which makes for an interesting read. But she's not all evil, you learn to love her because she does have reasons behind every move she makes. She goes through many battles and fights in this book. I can't wait for the story to continue. I defiantly recommend this book to anyone that likes fantasy stories, and a little blood and gore.

This book is based on a true story written by Ellen Hopkins. This book is about Ellen Hopkin's daughter Kristina Snow who is a great daughter that does very well in school, has a lot of positive friends, she stays out of trouble, etc. Kristina decides to go and see her dad who she never gets to see because hes out of her life but she now has Scott, her new step dad which she doesn't seem the happiest about.

This is when Kristina meets her new self, Bree someone that wants to fit in so badly that she lets the "monster" in her life...CRANK. Will she be able to stop or will this become an issue? Read CRANK by Ellen Hopkins to find out.

****If I were to rate this book I would rate it a 5 out of 5 because this book made me want to keep reading about Kristina's journey through life and it's a great book for young adults to read because they are facing these types of peer pressure just like Kristina.
