12. The Last Vampire 3: Red Dice, by Christopher Pike

Sita Sue, having survived her near-death cliffhanger at the end of the last book, continues her reign of awesomeness by getting into a fight with the LAPD, helped by the former FBI agent she made into a vampire at the end of the last book. She wins, of course, steals a helicopter, and flies off toward the mountains/desert in it. Instead of using common sense and going somewhere close enough for the helicopter to make it (in this case Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead), she tries to fly to Lake Mead in Nevada because it's warmer than the mountains. This does not work out well, and it causes the rest of the story to happen (which involves a mad general, a 700-year-old vampire hybrid who was once a priest, and experiments on vampires). The story is pretty decent, but Sita is still a Sue.


"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
