Author : Christopher Pike
Pages: 189

Description: My name Alisa
Perne. I'm intelligent, cultured and rather has a great appetite live. I
beautiful blonde hair and electric blue eyes. In short, everything to please and be pleased.
There is only one small problem ... It gives me 18 years, but I have more than 5000. And most importantly, I am a vampire. The last of my kind.
And sometimes I feel terribly alone ... Especially when a mysterious enemy chasing me relentlessly, determined to destroy me.
My opinion:
I want to thank Livraddict editions and I Lu for this partnership.
I started my reading with good a priori since the reviews I had read about this book were quite positive.
But for my part I was rather disappointed.
We met Alisa, this last vampire on earth, we learn in the course of reading, how she became a vampire and why she is the only one still "alive" (no pun intended ) . I liked to know all these details and that the passages that tell us of this are well separated, which avoids being lost in history.
But I did not appreciate Alisa, it pissed me off throughout the book is a narcissistic character, many too confident and boastful. I really struggled to support his side "I am a bomb and I repeat it every three minutes, in case you did not yet understand."
I also found that things were going really fast and were too often too simple. This is surely due to the fact that the book is short but it's still bad.
For example, Ray accepted almost without flinching to meet a vampire and even worse it does not seem really shocked to learn that the latter has murdered his father, and obviously it does not prevent sleep with her (yes remember you, our heroine is irresistible ...).
In conclusion, it was a quick read but will not let me have a great memory, I think history would have deserved to be a little more developed and the main character would have been improved a bit more modest.
