Blood Promise by Richelle Mead

Blood Promise by Richelle Mead


About the book

The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir’s Academy was the deadliest ever in the school’s history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them . . . including Dimitri.
He’d rather die than be one of them, and now Rose must abandon her best friend, Lissa—the one she has sworn to protect no matter what—and keep the promise Dimitri begged her to make long ago. But with everything at stake, how can she possibly destroy the person she loves most?


my thoughts on the book. 

This book is the fourth book in the Vampire Academy series and it is just as good as the other three. I do have to say though that the first three books are a whole lot better but this one is just as good. 

Rose leaves school to find Dimitri. She sets out with the mind set of releasing him from his Strigoi self. Yes if you haven't guessed Dimitri is turned into a Strigoi.  I just do not like Dimitri as Strigoi it just doesnt suit him at all. Along the way Rose meets Dimitri's family ( I really like Dimitri's family they seemed so good)  and also meets another spirit user and her bond mate ( I really do not know what I think about them yet but they seem decent enough).  Rose also meets this guy name Abe, she does not really like him and then she finds something interesting out about him ( I will let you know read the book to find that out. In someways what she finds out I had a feeling it was going to turn out that way. I think this is going to be a interesting turning of events if Ms Mead brings him back into the books. I hope she does. )  

When Rose gets home and knocks on Lissa's door and it opens and Lissa pulls her into a hug I cried just a little. It was really good to see that Rose had not lost her friend like she was afraid that she had. 

This book is really good and I am looking forward to reading book five (have to go buy it first lol) 

Happy Reading

Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead

Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead

about the book

WHAT IF FOLLOWING HER HEART MEANS ROSE COULD LOSE HER BEST FRIEND FOREVER?

Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with a rare gift for harnessing the earth's magic. She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest vampires - the ones who never die. The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir. Rose is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making Lissa one of them.

Rose knows it is forbidden to love another guardian. Her best friend, Lissa - the last Dragomir princess - must always come first. Unfortunately, when it comes to gorgeous Dimitri Belikov, some rules are meant to be broken...

Then a strange darkness begins to grow in Rose's mind, and ghostly shadows warn of a terrible evil drawing nearer to the Academy's iron gates. The immortal undead are closing in, and they want vengeance for the lives Rose has stolen. In a heart-stopping battle to rival her worst nightmares, Rose will have to choose between life, love, and the two people who matter most... but will her choice mean that only one can survive?


my thoughts about this book. 

this is the third book in the Vampire Academy series and it is just as good as book one and two in this series. I really loved it lots. 

Ms Mead knows how to draw the readers into her story and make them feel like they are characters that they are reading about it. I really felt like i was right there with Rose as she learnt some of the things that comes along with being Shadow Kiss and I cried with her when she cried. 

Why oh Why did the thing that happened to Dimitri had to happen? I am not saying what it is just in case you are reading this review and have not read the book, I do not want to spoil it for you. Just know that something happens to him. I am hoping that the thing that supposedly happen to him comes out that it did not. That him and Rose will be together forever. They make a wonderful couple. I will have to continue reading the series to find out what happens. 

I also hope that Lissa does not let the queen control her. I do not like the queen at all. 

If you have not read this book or series I recommend that you do and to Ms Mead thank you for your writing. I love it. 

Happy Reading
