Liked It“Well, it was pretty clear that Sita was going to have to become a vampire again. I'm not sure I buy the vehicle Pike uses to bring this change about, but I'm glad he did. Otherwise, the continuation of this story would have been far less interesting.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“De serie begint iets minder fijn te worden. Steeds absurder, minder geloofwaardig en raarder. Jammer”

Now her wish has come true. She can now have friends, doesn't crave blood, and the most important on her to do-list: become a mother. Just when she thinks she has everything, she realizes something is very wrong. When her child is born it is clear he/she is not normal and has a high possibility to become dangerous. Alisa battles internally with the phantom images of the one she loved and her physical emotions of a mother's love for her child and her knowledge that she has to do everything possible to stop her child even if that means once again becoming the powerful vampire Sita.”

I thought the book was going to be boring and not interesting, but i was wrong. "The Last Vampire 4" had a lot of drama and kept you guessing on what is going to happen next.”

Yes | No“The Last Vampire - Phantom opened with a pounding on the door from a voice that Sita doesn't recognize. Realization was slow but she was able to piece it together, she was now human and was vulnerable. She didn't open the door and later called Seymour whom she has to rely on a bit for "tips on being human." However, Sita seems to be a penchant for trouble for even if she doesn't go out at night to feed, she found herself killing for her survival.
And then she met Ray Riley.

“The Last Vampire #4: Phantom, by Christopher Pike
When we last saw Sita, she had used an ancient alchemical process to transform from vampire to human. And so for the first time in 5,000 years, she is human...but is being human what she really wants?
At first it appears so. Minutes after the transformation is complete, Ray, her lover previously thought dead, knocks on the door. Together the two start a life of domestic bliss, and within weeks Sita is pregnant. Finally she will have a child, to replace the one she lost 5,000 years ago.
But her child isn't exactly human, which is quickly obvious when the child is born months before her due date. And when Kalika starts demanding blood, Sita knows she's birthed a monster. But her love for her child prevents her from killing Kalika...
"Phantom" starts a new direction for The Last Vampire series, and at times doesn't seem to quite fit with the previous books. I feel it is best to read this and the next two in the series at once, as if you were reading one book rather than three - it doesn't stand well on its own. Pike introduces New Age ideas and Eastern religions, as Kalika is actually Kali Ma. With "Phantom," Pike sends Sita on a journey of self-reflection that will carry into the next two books in the series.
3/5.”
