The Last Vampire (The Last Vampire/Black Blood) - Christoper Pike


This book is in fact, two books. As are all the book in this series of which there are three. So six books in total. It's about a 500 000 year old vampire who goes by many names, but is introduced in the first book as Alisa Perne.

The setting is, as always, America present day.

The first book, The Last Vampire, is mainly about establishing character relationships, especially between Alisa and Ray, a high school teenage boy, who, at the begginning of the book, is in a relationship with Patty, a fellow teenager.

The blurb for both books reads -
Beautiful, strong, dangerous, deadly. Alisa Perne is not your average teenager. Alisa has lived for 5000 years. She has endured heartbreak, betrayal and near death - enough for several lifetimes. now Alisa is living in the 21st century, ready to take on an ancient and powerful enemy. She will do whatever it takes to protect herself and her secret, even if that means destroying the people she loves.
For Alisa, human weakness must be battled against. The last vampire, will not die...


This is a good book, though Alisa is portrayed as a little of a snob, with designer clothing and a taste for human blood.
