Last Sacrifice: A Vampire Academy Novel
Ohhhhh the wonderful ecstasy of reading another book in the Vampire Academy series (and absorbing all the Dimitri I possibly could) mixed in equal portions with the heartache of knowing, once this book is over, it’s over.

Well, thank goodness that’s not exactly the case, but, it sorta is. There isa spin-off (6 books long – yay!!). I was *hoping* the spin-off was going to be a more “mature” version of our favorite main characters living an adult life, and adjusting to their new world. Perhaps, but I hear the spin-off will mostly consist of other characters in the series, and each book will focus on one. I’m so there! I already know who I want most of the focus to be on, by I won’t say, so that I don’t spoil it for you 😉 read more

Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, Book 6)
Right. Like I even needed to tell anyone that 😉

I AM ADDICTED. BUT! I’m only 45% through. Yup…I got a late start last night (stupid responsibilities!) , and now I’m suffering cause I’m back at work with an “itch” that can’t be relieved until 6pm!

Soooo shhhhhhhhhh!! Don’t tell me anything!!! Of course you can comment, and even torture me if you must. But I must not know the truth. I know you all know now. But I’m going to live in the dark today for the whole day. I’m not checking out other blogs, I’m not even going to surf the net, or Amazon for fear I accidentally run into some spoilers. read more

Book Review – Blood Promise by Richelle Mead

bloodpromiseBlood Promise: A Vampire Academy Novel
Oh how I have missed Dimitri, and was highly anticipating this book, expecting another beautiful, but difficult, love story. I was hoping that the noble, god-like Strigoi warrior would, somehow, still be himself (if you read the previous book, you were probably heartbroken at how it ended). Alas, it was wishful thinking. While I enjoyed the book, apparently, I spent a great deal of it, frowning.

This book focuses on Rose’s search for Dimitri, in his new “Strigoi” form (evil vampire), with the intention to stake him (a promise each of them made to each other if they were ever “turned”). She travels to Russia, and through a few new contacts, and events, eventually finds herself at his family’s residence. Once she delivers the news, the anguished family accepts her as one of their own, and she stays with them for awhile, taking comfort in being surrounded by those closest to Dimitri. read more
