I found Chris to be a very realistic character, not a superhero but a scared kid caught up in a very bad situation. Chris’s voice wanders back and forth between strangely beautiful to conversational, and it works well. Chris’s transformation from human to vampire is visceral and disturbing, a nice little metaphor for the frustrating time known as puberty. In a genre filled with sexy, dangerous vampires, Anderson presents us with an account that’s far from romantic. Thirsty is a strange but fascinating little read. In return, all Chris needs to do is infiltrate the local vampires and stop them from raising an evil ancient deity. So when Chet the Celestial being offers to cure him of his vampirism, he can’t say no. Eventually he will starve to death from lack of blood, or the thirst will drive him to kill someone, and he will be executed as a result. He’s become prone to mood swings and finds that he’s hungry all of the time. High school freshman Chris is going through some changes.
