I picked up that Last Vampire series (three books in one and it was a good price) on Friday and the previous poster is correct, the stories are very good. I like a vampire that actually drinks blood and is sort of a bad ass.

Dark Visions! *smacks head* That’s what that series was called. Now I’ve got to go find copies. Eee!

I was a huge Christopher Pike fan from the time I was 12 until I was 16. I found his later books too depressing, but I still love Weekend, Slumber Party, Last Act, the Final Friends Trilogy, and Witch.

I used to read Christopher Pike by the cartload, and I’m not a huge horror fan, either. His YA books are great. I think my favorite was called Return to Me or something like that. It was about a girl who died and her ghost was trying to find the killer.

I love this book. As I was telling Thea earlier, it’s my favorite Pike. Also, oh, the nightmares. I remember the long sleepeless night I spent after finishing this about 15 years ago.

The ending! And the dog! And oh!

Also, if you want a romantic Pike (more your style, yes?), with decidedly less blood/guts/horror, I recommend See You Later.

@ Briget Locke You mean the Dark Visions Trilogy! They are probably the only actually scary books that LJ Smith has written. Well, scary for LJ Smith. That sense deprivation box that people get put into and then come out all loopy. *shudder*

Ana, if you want to try more Christopher Pike I remember enjoying The Last Vampire series. I think there’s six books and she’s a pretty cool vamp. Uses her nails instead of her teeth and doesn’t go on and on about bloodlust. That I can remember. Very funny review, I should try this book as every other Pike book I’ve read has felt a leetle cheesy.

Ana-holy crap that was funny! I don’t know what I laughed harder at, your “hate horror” or that what.a.biatch. Good review; now I am going to have to read it, damn it Thanks for another awesome review and the giggle at my computer screen
