2025 Nostalgia Re-readathon | The Last Vampire #5: Evil Thirst

The Last Vampire's love and pride.

Alisa's daughter, Kalika, a bloodthirsty monster with powers far beyond Alisa's, is gone. It is Alisa's task to track her down and destroy her.

Yet Alisa still has trouble beliving her daughter is total evil. She still hopes to save Kalika, even it is means risking her own life - and perhaps the lives of everyone in the world.

I remember being unimpressed with the previous book in this series, and weary of the idea of a trilogy of Alisa v Kalika shenanigans. Mercifully, Pike cut us a break, though his way of backing out of this corner is apparently to just make shit up.

( The hunter - or the hunted? )

This was an epic story and I read it all in one sitting. I enjoyed the parallel plot from ancient Egypt, but I do not like Pike successfully reformed Kalika from a bloodthirsty evil entity into a misplaced angel who was actually doing her job re: the baby. What about all those people she killed? Her murders in this book are especially gory, ngl.

And where do we go from here? Now that Kalika has been vanquished and the baby John saved, what else is there for Alisa to do? And will Seymour make it to the end of this series alive? We have one more OG book to find out!

New Year's Resolutions and Other Goals

goals_on_dw is a community for people who like goals and goal setting. A key focus is New Year's resolutions, that being among the most popular contexts for such activities. Although the most common time is January 1, "new year" can also refer to other calendars or cultures, whatever works for you. Alternatively, just pick a time that works for you and go for it. You can introduce yourself or make new friends here.

We talk about different goal systems, pros and cons of resolutions, arts and crafts for tracking goals, human psychology, and more. You can share your resolutions or other goals. There are weekly check-in posts in January, and monthly ones in the rest of the year, for folks to talk about their accomplishments. December-January is the most active period, and it starts ramping up in November as lots of people begin thinking about their goals for the next year.

2025 New Year's Resolutions and Other Goals is the guide post for this years goal-setting activities.
For more details on relevant topics, see "Things You Can Talk About Here."

Newcomers

Trouble is brewing at Bluesky. As a result, there's a wave of new users coming into Dreamwidth. Find your Bluesky friends here.

newcomers is a community for people who are just getting started on Dreamwidth, in the tradition of

twitter_refugees and

reddit_refugees. This community supports former users of other platforms who are moving to Dreamwidth because their previous platform has become untenable or has closed. As such, it will increase activity with each wave of new users, in hopes of helping them get settled in Dreamwidth so they want to stick around. It also serves previous users returning after a long hiatus, people who want to do more with a Dreamwidth blog that was only intermittent, or anyone else who wants help connecting and figuring out how to use this venue.
