I finally finished this book yesterday. I've had this cold for almost 2 weeks and it's made reading difficult. Plus I'm in a reading slump you could say where I just didn't want to read for about 2 weeks before I got the cold. Anyways onto the book!
This is book #4 in the Vampire Academy series, here's the synopsis.
"Rose Hathaway's life will never be the same.
The recent attack on St. Vladimir's Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. Many are dead. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse. A rare tattoo now adorns Rose's neck, a mark that says she's killed far too many Strigoi to count. But only one victim matters . . . Dimitri Belikov. Rose must now choose one of two very different paths: honoring her life's vow to protect Lissa—her best friend and the last surviving Dragomir princess—or, dropping out of the Academy to strike out on her own and hunt down the man she loves. She'll have to go to the ends of the earth to find Dimitri and keep the promise he begged her to make. But the question is, when the time comes, will he want to be saved?
Now, with everything at stake—and worlds away from St. Vladimir's and her unguarded, vulnerable, and newly rebellious best friend—can Rose find the strength to destroy Dimitri? Or, will she sacrifice herself for a chance at eternal love?"
Rose is bound to Lissa, her best friend and in this book they're separated which made this book difficult. It was slow at the beginning because of them being separated and it took about 50-60 pages before I was really into the book. I saw the ending coming with Dimitri and that wasn't a surprise to me. However, the Avery/Simon/Reed trio was a huge surprise, but a good one. The plot progressed well & overall I enjoyed the book but this was not a favorite of mine in the series. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. Next I'll be reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.
