Thirst

Thirst no. 1

'I am a vampire, and that is the truth. But the modern meaning of the word vampire, the stories that have been told about creatures such as I, are not precisely true. I do not turn to ash in the sun, nor do I cringe when I see a crucifix… As to blood- ha, blood, the whole subject fascinated me. I do like that as well, warm and dripping, when I am thirsty. And I am often thirsty.'

Alisa has been in control of her urges for the five thousand years she has been a vampire. She feeds but does not kill; she lives her life on the fringe to maintain her secret. But when her creator returns to hunt her, she must break her own rules in order to survive.

Her quest leads her to Ray. He is the only person who can help her; he also has every reason to fear her. Alisa must get closer to him to ensure her immortality. But as she begins to fall in love with Ray, suddenly there is more at stake than her own life…
