Started when i was like 7. He had a series called spooksville and from then i was hooked. My favorite has to be final friends series, last vampire series (WAY BETTER THAN TWILIGHT WILL EVER BE), starlight crystal, whisper of death, wicked heart... the list is endless.

This book sounds AWFUL! The hero dies because he gets seduced by the high school psychopathic whore? Are you kidding me? He knows she's evil and he lets her seduce him? He is a guy shouldn't he be able to overpower her? And how the hell does someone force people to snort cocaine? These were YA novels? UGH This book sounds obnoxiously stupid and ridiculous. Although the fact he wrote something a little darker does appeal. But these girls who killed a boyfriend they SHARED? (WTF?) A car chase? Manipulating? I guess it doesn't matter to me if you liked the book, but this book sounds freaking horrible. Oh my God! This book sounds AWFUL!

That's how famous Christopher Pike was. I'm afraid of reading Die Softly, because it breaks my heart every time I even think about the ending. I read this book as a child, and it had such a profound effect on me. I still think about the feelings Herb had for Alexa, her beauty so real but oh "too real". I've been in love with someone without any reciprocation, so I know exactly how Herb felt. Everything he did for her so she would notice him. I really want to read it again, but I'm not sure if I have the heart to. The other books that really stuck in my mind were The Midnight Club and Whisper of Death.

I haven't read The Starlight Crystal, but I now I want to. I'm going to have to see if my library has it. Thanks for the comment Melissa! I haven’t read The Starlight Crystal, but I now I want to.

I have been a fan since and have most of his books to this day. (In fact I just ordered the ones I no longer had). I would have to say that my favorite of all his books is The Starlight Crystal. And I definitely remember reading Die Softly. It's another that I still love. I was reading Christopher Pike books at age 11. I have been a fan since and have most of his books to this day.
