Very interesting!
This is another great teen thriller by Pike.
This series was extremely popular when I was in middle school (early 1990s) and I read about half the series. I loved all of Pike's works at the time, though now I have some slight issues with how he describes his female characters. For those who want a vampire series that is purely a fun, guilty pleasure, then this one's for you. The series does draw upon Indian mythology, most notably Shiva and Lord Vishnu, and those aspects of the books are quite fascinating.
