This one ends on a cliffhanger too. It makes me wonder if this was one massive story that was chopped up into six smaller books. I like Sita. She's kick ass. I like her character arc so far, even though it seems that it peaked at the end of this book. I'm not really sure how this story can fill up four more books? I guess we'll see. Still amazing. Sita thought she was the last vampire on earth...but suddenly there are very strange killings in Los Angeles, that could only be the work of another vampire. What strikes me about these books is that they have some very adult content in them (a little language, a lot of reference to sex) either I didn't pick up on it when I was younger, or it is much more obvious to me now that I'm a teacher, I'm not sure.

2.5 stars rounded up. My main issue with this book was the antagonist, Eddie. He's way too powerful, but doesn't have the personality or background to match it. At least in the first book, Yaksha was an interesting rival for Sita. Eddie is just gross. The first half of the book is very violent, and Sita spends most of her time wondering how the hell she's supposed to defeat this guy.
I read The Last Vampire over a year ago and unfortunately lost quite a bit of the backstory, so it was nice to have a refresher and a resurfacing of Krishna (and some of Sita's past) in this story. I enjoyed her history far more than her current battles with Eddie, the police, and Joel the FBI agent.
Unfortunately, Sita goes back to being unsure of herself and her tactics and basically gives up during the Final Battle here, which made for a majorly anticlimactic ending.
I think Pike is at his best in this series when he is worldbuilding and exploring the nooks and crannies of a 50-century-long life. The sequel series turns more fantasy, and for good reason: the idea of basically having the same fight over and over again gets really old, really fast. I don't have high hopes for Book #3 at this point. ( )
