Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up?A generally entertaining yarn about a lovely, 5,000-year-old vampire. Sita had thought that she and her companion, Ray, were the last vampires on Earth. However, a murderer who favors dismembering and draining the blood of his victims is stalking Los Angeles, and Sita realizes that her assumption is incorrect. Only she has the power to stop this creature from his evil path?but he's much stronger than she expected, and she finds herself in a life-and-death struggle. Occasionally the narrative digresses to discuss Sita's dreams and visions of her original life in India eons ago in an effort to lend spiritual purpose to her actions; this comes across as a somewhat obvious attempt to link the tale to legitimate mythology. Overall, though, Pike's fans should enjoy the story immensely. Sita is a clever and resourceful heroine and the story is infused with slyly appealing humor.?Mary Jo Drungil, Niles Public Library District, IL

This book is great. It's a nice sequel to #1, though it does become boring in some points.. There's small sub-stories that get told inside by the characters that dont really seem like they need to be there, but nonetheless, they add to the overall effectiveness of the plot.
I read this whole book last night. I just couldn't put it down! It was about a 3 1/2 hour read without too many breaks.. I found it took me 4 chapters to realize i had to go to the restroom and to actually get up to go.
The bad guy's mother is a bit off her rocker, being as old as she is.. Really sick minded, its no wonder that the boy turned out the way he was.
Anyway, it was a good book and i just couldnt put it down. I reccommend this read to anyone who is a fan of Christopher Pike. :)

There was nothing really new in this book, basically reminded me of the previous book (other than her boy toy is a vampire). The evil demon vampire who created Sita is alive and kicking (bad pun) and now some new creepy psycho who found his body got his power and is turning people into vampires. What I find corny is a vampire who has walked the Earth for 5,000 years is getting totally owned by a vampire who has been a vampire for 5 days.
Format:Paperback
this book was the best ever written. christopher pike shows that sita isn't one of those all-american heroes that you see every day. shes not some superhero, but she is the protagonist; which lends a nice twist to the plot. she goes off, knowing that she might lose her life and willingly puts it on the line to save a race (humans) even though they mean nothing to her.

Amazing read for any Pike fans.
Ok, first of all, let me point out the very well known fact that Christopher Pike, as talented as he is, does not have that much respect from the critics, much like the Horn Book... Read more

Excellent
I read the editors review and I disagree. Im 22 and I started reading Christoper Pike in my teenage years. I think that the way he writes adds a slice of reality to his books. Read more

Lost for words
Wow! The second book in The Last Vampire series is even better than the unbeatable first book! Keep writing like this Mr Pike and you'll have me buying every single book you write!

Pike is amazing!
Pike certainly spun out a golden tale when he created Sita. Alisa is a 5,000 year old vampire that you DON'T wanna mess with. And she's NOT your classic vampire. Read more

ANOTHER GREAT BOOK BY THE MASTER!!!
Black Blood was fantastic but not as good as the first. It was a bit too gory. It was still a great story and it really held my attention. Read more
