"I started reading "The Last Vampire" series when it first came out, and I remember checking the bookstore every time the next installment was going to be available. Although I'm an adult now (but I was a preteen when the series started), I've still re-read most of the installments. It's truly amazing how Pike manages to flesh out such a complete characterization.
Another amazing thing is how each installment ties in so fluidly with each other and yet they stand alone with their own plot, be it her story with Ray or Joel, or her daughter.
I haven't re-read this one, "The Last Vampire 6: Creatures of Forever", in awhile, but I was a bit disappointed at the end. Although it was a very well-written book I wished it wouldn't have ended the way it did. I don't want to give it away, but I did get the feeling of "she went through all of this then for what?" I wish the last paragraph was left out, basically. Pike probably ended it the way he did because it was the only way to end the series without being tempted to continue on. Still, it's great escapism. If you're a young woman, you will identify with Sita, and it's incredibly easy to imagine yourself in her situation. I love the wit and humor Pike uses. He doesn't pander to the lowest (or youngest) common denominator plus the writing is every bit as good as any "adult" novel I've read.
You might be disappointed after reading this, if only because you'll wish there were more to the series. Although it was terribly sad story, I felt happiness for Sita at the end, for she got what she wanted. I think that its brilliant that in a way the ending is the beginning.

Title The Last Vampire 6: Creatures of Forever Author Christopher Pike Reviewed By Purplycookie"
"Gotta say, I wasn't expecting that ending (even if I've read these books before, it's been long enough for me to forget).
I am left feeling at the end a little mystified. Am I to believe it was all merely Seymore's imagination? A sick kid trying to find his way out of dying? A heroine who rescues him several times?
It makes me think back on all the adventures I feel I have had with Sita...suddenly erased.
And yet, looking back to those memories, she was never really happy. Ever. So many things caused her such pain. It is on this thought I realize her choice was the right one. To end the suffering before it even began.
As a whole: this series is one that I feel is fantastic. The lure of these books was so strong that I re-read them ten years later, and I made some of my students read them too.
