The last vampire
This book is about a five-thousand-year-old vampire, named Alisa Perne. She is a blonde, attractive girl. She appears to be 18 years old, but her voice and knowledge gets people to think she’s older. She is a wealthy girl with a mansion stored with antiques and art pieces. The stories that have been told about creatures like her, are not entirely true. She does not turn to ash in the sun, nor does she cringe when she sees a crucifix. She wears a tiny gold cross around her neck, but only because she likes it. She cannot fly nor make another of her kind by just having them drink my blood. Wolves like her, and she can jump so high that one might imagine she can fly. The subject of blood fascinates Alisa, she’s often thirsty. She can be stabbed in the arm with a knife and heal within minutes without scarring. If she would be stabbed with a wooden stake, then maybe she would die. She has the strength of five men, she loves to fight and kill. There is not one physical attack and defense of which she is not a master.
Alisa is called in by a man named Michael Riley. He is a private detective, he called Alisa and told her to come to his office to have a little talk of something she might find of an interest. Mr.Riley thinks she is dangerous because in a glance she can see that he carries a revolver beneath his left breast. She hears a faint scratch of moving metal plastic, he is taping the conversation. Alisa is sitting on the chair smiling and thinking about how her prey would die. He tells her that he has been researching her for the last few months, and he then asks her age. Vampires consider that question impolite. He is interested in her wealth because she is the richest woman in the world, and yet no one has heard of her. There is also no trace of family, so he is interested in how she became rich. She asks him who gave him the information or who lead him to her, but he says no one. She can tell when people lie. She continues to ask him the same question but he denies it. He pisses her off and that’s when she jumps out of her chair, kicks Riley in the throat with her heel. He lands on the floor drowning in his own blood. She asks him one more time, and he gasps the word “slim”, since she threatened him that she would kill his son.
She ends up going to high school to meet Mr.Riley’s son. Her new name is Lara Adams. He has a girlfriend, and Alisa thinks he is handsome. His name is Ray Riley. She must grab Ray’s attention and kindness to get what she wants. She hopes that his girlfriend won’t stand in the way, she wouldn’t want to kill her too. Later on she meets a anemic-looking young man with thick glasses, named Seymour Dorsten. She can tell that he will be dead in less than a year. She can tell he has a sickness. Lara then notices that he can almost read her mind, when she was about to shoot her teacher with an arrow from gym class. They end up becoming friends, and she thinks of him as her son.
Lara then ends up obtaining the information she wanted from Riley. They end up falling in love. But when she thinks that she is the last of her kind, an old “friend” comes looking for her. He sends people to kidnap her but she ends up escaping. That old friend is the first of her kind and she is the last. His name is Yaksha, he was the one who turned Lara into a vampire, centuries ago. He came back to kill her. Long ago, there was a man thought to be a god, his name was Krishna. Lara’s name back then was Sita. Krishna and Yaksha played their flute with a pit full of snakes. Yaksha lost and swore that he would kill all evil, including himself. Krishna told Sita that it will not happen if love interferes. Lara ends up turning Ray into a vampire. When Yaksha is prepared to die with them, he changes his mind and lets Lara and Ray escape. When she runs out it was too late. A wooden stake flew threw her heart. As she laid on the floor with pain, she knew how much she loved Ray.
