Bookroo's summary

Alisa, a five-thousand-year-old vampire, has lived in control, feeding without killing. But when her creator returns to hunt her, she must break her own rules to survive. Her only hope lies with Ray, a boy who could either save or fear her. As Alisa grows closer to Ray, she faces a new danger—falling in love. With her life and heart at risk, can she protect herself and those she cares about?

From the publisher

The first volume in the classic paranormal thriller series, Thirst, from bestselling author Christopher Pike. At five thousand years old, the vampire Alisa thought she was smart enough to stay out of trouble. But when her creator returns to hunt her, she must protect herself by befriending Ray, the boy who may be her only chance at finding her maker. When she begins to fall in love with Ray, all of a sudden there is more at stake than her own life. Originally published in 1994, this series netted more than 500,000 copies as individual titles and later as bind-ups. This hot new repackage will revive the series for today’s teen.
