From Thea's Dungeon
Any other Christopher Pike fans in the house? Anyone that grew up in the 80s and 90s is familiar with a few key authors that wrote young adult series’. There’s “Francine Pascal” of Sweet Valley Twins fame. There’s R.L. Stine (and I’m talking BEFORE the Goosebumps phenomenon, with the Fear Street books). R.L. Stine has been called the Stephen King ( Read more... ) -
Sweet Blog About Pike's Influence on two authors
For today’s guest, we are very lucky to have young adult authors Diana Peterfreund (of Rampant fame) and Carrie Ryan (genius behind YA zombie novel, The Forest of Hands and Teeth) over to guest blog. For their topic, they’ve decided to write about another young adult author: The Awesomeness That Is Christopher Pike.

Thirst & CP Spoofs
Look, Kevin, I love you. I always have. You were my all-time favorite for a long time. You are the reason for incest lizards. Season of Passage still scares the crap out of me. But when I reread that, I started to realize something, something that I am sure of now that I’ve finally, for the first time in my life, finished up The Last Vampire ( Read more... ) -
The Lit Collection Calls Thirst A Blockbuster
Remember in Rambo II when Rambo spears some unfortunate evil dude and said evil dude BLEW UP? Something of that nature happens in this re-issue of a ‘90’s vampire classic. Rest assured, people will explode, sometimes spontaneously, sometimes on account of sniper rifles and rocket launchers, and, if you’re a pro at suspending your disbelief, ( Read more... ) -
The Book Eater Likes Thirst
First and foremost, I despise vampire stories even before trying them out. It’s because all of them just came popping out after the success of Twilight! And I just hate that book because I think it’s nothing but a love story (sorry for the fans), but I guess it’s wrong to judge them all that way. ...
The good thing about Thirst is that it stays to ( Read more... ) -
Bookizzle Likes Thirst
Overall consensus: Thirst is a dark and gritty vampire book with unique mythological aspects, some - yet very little romance, and plenty of violence. Not cutthroat by any means, but there are some explosions, copious amounts of fighting, and some folks losing their heads. If you're looking for a light read, look elsewhere. But if you want a book ( Read more... ) -
Good review of Thirst 1 at Book Lovers
This was a new take on the "Vampire" Alisa, is basically the last living vamp...and she is honestly...badass! She is one tough woman, who can use just about anything to get anyone to do what she wants...then when she gets it...she kills, sometimes =) this isn't the typical love story where everything turns out just fine...in fact it's opposite ( Read more... ) -
Bad Review of Thrist 1 at the Book on the Hill
I didn't find this book much exciting unfortunately... The legeng about the vampires' birth that is told here is very interesting, and Alisa's vampire capabilities are original. The fact that she's been 'alive' for 5000 years also has its interest. I've always loved the 'immortal' side of the vampires, I've always thought that it gave some depth to ( Read more... ) -
Thirst Discussed At 'Today I Read'
First line: I am a vampire, and that is the truth.
Initial thoughts: I was walking through a department store and this book was sitting haphazardly on some magazines. Not being able to resist a book with an interesting cover that just seems to appear out of nowhere, I read the first few pages while standing there and decided to get it.
When I read ( Read more... )
