"After five thousand years, Sita/Alisa is finally human again. And pregnant. But will it be an angel or a demon?
With the introduction of Kali/Kalika the reader may make hasty judgements as to her purpose in being born. Indeed, exactly what kind of creature can be conceived from the womb of a vampire? It is interesting to watch Sita's daughter grow and interact with society--leaving you wondering what she might be or do.
Perhaps it's the undercurrent of Eastern philosophy, the paradoxical dualism Pike presents in nearly every story but one does conclude that in Pike's world, the situation often (at least at the outset) seems to be one of good versus bad, just like most children's stories. But this is soon shattered by the complicated truth that situations and people aren't usually good "versus" bad. It's that the good is the bad, and the bad is the good, which cancels them both out and thus we see gray.

Title The Last Vampire 4: Phantom Author Christopher Pike Reviewed By Purplycookie"
"How can a book that I first read over ten years ago still move me the way this book did?
Pike is a great author, and one who I wish more of my students read.
This book is the story of Sita getting everything she ever wanted: a daughter, and the man who she has loved for 2,000 years. It's too good to be true, and she must decide what she really wants, and at what cost.
