24. Thirst: The Eternal Dawn, by Christopher Pike

This is the third book in the Thirst series (the first two books consist of books 1-3 and 4-6 of The Last Vampire series). The series was originally finished around 1995, but was revived after Twilight made vampires popular again.

Sita is still a Sue, but it's toned down a bit in this book, in which she gets close to one of her descendants (from when she was human 5,000 years ago) and tries to help her in achieving her dreams. She also tracks down Seymour, who didn't die at the end of the last book after all, thanks to the advent of effective HIV drugs. She still deals with powerful forces that threaten the whole world, though, and she still disobeys Krishna's order not to make more vampires (though somehow she still has his grace).

After reading this far in the series, I have concluded that it would make a great series of graphic novels, but I don't think it's ever been done.


"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.”
