Thirst NO. 1 by Christopher Pike

Cover: As to blood -- ah, blood, the whole subject fascinates 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, and 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....

Summary:
The Last Vampire: In this novel Alisa is being hunted by a man named Slim. Her life is being found out and a fear of discovery of her nature is being hung over head. She starts highschool trying to get on good terms with a boy named Ray who is the last hope to help her discover who this Slim is. Throw in that it isn't Slim who really is hunting her, but her creator, Alisa must fight to stay alive.
Black Bloods: Yaksha has been destroyed, but that is the least of Alisa's problems. Ray is not adapting well to his new life while a sadistic vampire much like Yaksha is roaming the streets creating an army. Now the FBI is stalking her and she is the only one who has the power or stregnth to defeat Eddie.
Red Dice: After making Joel a vampire and destroying Eddie, Alisa believes that she can just start a nice normal life. Only problem? She is being hunted yet again. This time they capture someone she loves-Joel. Alisa has to find a way to break into the compound without dying herself. Her creator is not dead and instead of destroying her he offers her aid for one of the first and last times. It's a struggle that brings up a haunting past and person, but in the end Alisa might get exactly what she wanted to keep five-thousand years before.
