Thirst No. 1: The Last Vampire, Black Blood, Red Dice by Christopher Pike
Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.
Bought this book years ago during my teenage vampire craze and yeah, so many of them I got during that phase have NOT held up. I didn't feel anything for Alisa, a protagonist that has a self-proclaimed "expertise in everything" and as much charisma and personality as a pale block of wood. She's a five thousand year old vampire that was a little too ready to jump into a jacuzzi naked with an 18 year old boy in order to manipulate him for information. Ultimately, I think she might have worked better in an adult series, with her unlikability possibly working in her favor, but in this direction, she just seemed entirely superficial.
Also the whole love interest going "Yeah, I know you killed my P.I. dad and need me to get information from his office, but I love you so we just won't talk about it." Like....guy only knows her for a day or two and is already willing to throw away a loving relationship and forget how much his dad meant to him. The biggest doofus of them all.
