Rose Hathaway was convicted as a murderer…the murderer of the Moroi queen. But she didn’t do it. Although all the evidence goes against her, Rose did not kill the queen. The clock on Rose’s life is running out. She has to solve more than one problem while trying to clear her name. On the run, Rose and Dimitri run into past enemies while they make new ones. Lives are saved, and unknown connections are discovered. In the big finale to Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy series, you start to question: “When you spend your whole life saving others, who will save you?”
I personally cannot believe this series is over. No, I don’t think Richelle Mead should write another book. If she wrote another book, it would be too much. I am pretty content with how Last Sacrifice ended. I think what happens next to Rose, Dimitri and Lissa should be left to our imagination. But I am oh so glad she is writing a spin-off series. I’m not ready to let go of Vampire Academy yet.
If you loved the previous Vampire Academy books and you are ready for pager-turning suspense and surprise, read Last Sacrifice right away!

Rose Hathaway has finally graduated and become an official guardian, but as everything seems to finally be falling into place, everything turns into chaos – again. Rose, Lissa, and Eddie must find Victor Daskov’s brother, and that could possibly involve breaking into a top-security prison. Finding Victor’s brother could help Rose do what she has been planning to do for a while. She wants to turn Dimitri from a Strigoi back into a dhampir. It seems possible, but will it work? In the end, Rose is put into a situation where it seems there is no solution. There is no way out. No one will believe her. Will everyone eventually listen to what she has to say? Or will she be silenced forever?
Ohmygod. I LOVE Spirit Bound. This book was great; it was more than I expected it to be. The ending is a HUGE cliffhanger. I cannot wait for the final Vampire Academy novel to come out in December!

As the fourth book in the Vampire Academy Series, I have to say this was quite good. This follows up the unexpected surprise in the ending of the third book, Shadow Kiss. Rose Hathaway’s love, Dimitri, was captured by the Strigoi and turned into one of them. He lost the one thing he valued most. It wasn’t Rose. It wasn’t his life. It was his soul. So, Rose sets out to find him leaving her best friend, Lissa, behind. Rose is sure that this is the right choice, because she has to keep the promise she made Dimitri so long ago. But can she fulfill the promise?
If you thought Shadow Kiss was unexpected, you’ll think book is even more unpredictable! I was so excited and captured when I read this book, and I can’t wait for the fifth book, Spirit Bound, to come out May 18th, 2010!

Rose Hathaway loves her tutor and fellow guardian, Dimitri Belikov, and knows it is absolutely prohibited. She must always have Lissa Dragonmir on the top of her priority list at all times. No one or nothing else allowed. She knows that too. But she believes that some regulations are meant to be broken. Also, ever since her first Strigoi kills, some things haven’t been feeling right. Something dark and ghostly is clouding her mind. And the Strigoi want revenge for those lives Rose has taken. In the end, there is more than friendship at stake. Someone will lose what they value the most. And Rose has to choose between the one she loves and her best friend.

I really loved this book. I think it is the best one out of all of them. The ending is completely not what I expected and a total cliffhanger which leaves you begging for more. the characters are charming yet genuine. This whole series is fantastic.

Everything is confusing for Rose Hathaway; especially with her tutor Dimitri is interested with someone else and her best friend Mason has a huge crush on her. And then there is a surprise Strigoi attack on St. Vladimir’s Academy which sends everything out of control. The Academy is filled with overprotective guardians and concerned students. Since the Strigoi are getting closer and stronger, this year’s ski trip is absolutely mandatory. While at the slopes, the beautiful resort they’re staying at makes you think you’re actually being protected. Then three students escape to fight back against the deadly Strigoi. So Rose must team up with someone completely unexpected to help and rescue them. Only Rose doesn’t know how much herself and her heart are at risk this time.

Rose Hathaway was made to protect the Moroi vampires, just like all the other Dhampires. Dhampires are a mix of human and vampire, where Moroi are mortal vampires with a special connection to earth’s magic. Moroi must be protected all the time from Strigoi, the vamps that never die.

So, for years Rose knew that she would be dedicated to protecting her best friend Lissa Dragonmir, no doubt. And that’s not easy. Since Lissa is the last Dragonmir, the Strigoi want her to be one of them. They both ran away from St. Vladimir’s Academy for two years, and now they’ve been dragged back. Rose and Lissa will try to continue their education like nothing else happened. Then, they both discover that Lissa has a rare power, very rare power. A power that could most likely drive her absolutely insane. While they’re back at the Academy, they both deal with forbidden love, and Rose must never falter protecting Lissa for fear that the Strigoi make her one of them.
