Book Synopsis

An immortal vampire's existence is disrupted by an unexpected danger--and an even more unexpected romance--in this first book in the New York Times bestselling Thirst young adult series by Christopher Pike.

At five thousand years old, the vampire Alisa thought she was the last of her kind...and that she was smart enough to stay out of trouble. But now someone is stalking her--someone who wants her dead. At the same time, Alisa can't help but be drawn to Ray, a mortal who may have the key to her survival.

Originally published as the first three books in The Last Vampire series, The Last Vampire, Black Blood, and Red Dice are now available together in one volume--the first book in the renamed Thirst series.
