Thirst No. 5: The Sacred Veil (Thirst #5)
At last the truth of what happened during those hellish days has come back to her.
In her five thousand years as a vampire, Alisa - or Sita, as she was originally called - has experienced the equivalent of fifty lifetimes. Every moment of her immortal life is seared deep into her being. Every person she has loved, every victim she has killed - their faces are forever part of her.
Yet, strangely, a handful of memories have been lost to Alisa. As she and her friends embark on a search for the location of a sacred artifact - an ancient veil that may hold the key to mankind's salvation - Alisa soon realizes that her own mind may be her greatest enemy.
The memories she is blocking deal with the most horrifying period in mankind's history, a time when she was tortured by a madman responsible for the deaths of millions. But what information did her torture yield?
I "friended" Christopher Pike on Facebook. This was an important move, because for the first part of reading "Thirst No. 5: The Sacred Veil" I thought, perhaps, just maybe, Pike had a ghost writer. I felt bad for thinking this, but the book felt a little different compared to the others -- actually, the last three (the newest ones) felt that way to me.But, I guess, after leaving a story lie for years and then picking them back up, the voice may come back just a TAD bit different. Maybe? I don't
originally at: Dawn of the BooksI can't decide between a five stars or four stars, so I'll go with 4.5.Being the fifth book in a series I read a while ago, I was reluctant to pick It up. I couldn't remember much from the first four books, and when I saw this one, I looked over it. Then, just a few weeks ago, I decided to give this book a go because I had enjoyed the first four books, and I absolutely love Christopher Pike's style of writing. It is very professional. Let me begin by saying that I
I don't care any more I'm just upset I BOUGHT THE WHOLE DAMN SERIES.. but now I don't even wanna LOOK AT IT.. Such a waste of money on my part.. It started out good I was okay with her being overly strong and stuff bc it was so action packed and that was alright with me. But then I slowed down between this novel and the last A WHOLE DAMN CHARACTER WENT MISSING AND NO ONE EVEN BRINGS HIM UP ANYMORE HE JUST 'POOFED" AWAY WHILE IN THE CAR WITH THEM!! He was the Telar scientist that was helping them
3 ½ StarsThe book/series has quite an original premise, with interesting and somewhat quirky characters, and a well-crafted storyline. This has a fast, action-packed plot- which makes it quite a quick and easy read. There is some mystery, a little suspense, drama, and plenty of intrigue.So, if you love paranormal, fantasy, vampires, young adult stories, with action and adventure, then this is definitely the story/series for you!Thank you, Christopher Pike!
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!What could it possibly be about?Well I'm looking forward to it anyway!
The Sacred Veil is the fifth and final volume in the Thirst series by Christopher Pike. Altogether, it's the ninth volume.Finished: This book is amazing! I liked how Christopher Pike left the ending open, so we readers can think what happens. Plus, he has said he wants to write more on Sita.08/04/13 - In my opinion, the Thirst books should be under Adult Fiction.07/04/13 - Here is a message that Christopher Pike has posted on Facebook: "Thirst 5, everyone is writing me about Thirst 5. Im really

A summary of my opinion of the series by volume: YAY, yay I suppose, meh, Yay, BOO. What a useless pile of garbage; I fully expected this book to be useless when it was announced because the series has had 3 logical, well-made endings so far and I knew this was pushing Pikes luck. At least Thirst 3 was relatively justified by the follow-up and greatness of Thirst 4. But theres not really setup in this book for more stuff; its just likea mishmash of different stories, and Sita being alternatelyI "friended" Christopher Pike on Facebook.
