Okay so I told myself in high school that I wouldn’t read this series at all because I just didn’t think that it was going to be all that good. After a long debate, within my inner head and of course with looking at the movie trailer that I thought looked pretty good and different but I haven’t seen the movie yet, decided to give the series a shot. Now I am sucked in and sad that I am almost done with this new book series but I am glad that she has another book series out that is still a part of the Vampire Academy world. Anyways back to the present with this book. I know that I made my book review blog a while ago and that I haven’t posted anything since I started it. But here I am with this review that I hope everyone likes. (Oh and I also started it because it was set in Montana which is pretty cool!! That and I also just recently moved here!!!) So anyways…book review time.
I started to read this book on May 10 and ended it on May 11 despite adding it to my book list on good reads(a book site) in January and writing this review a month later(which probably wasn’t the best idea to do). I read this book on my kindle because I don’t have any of them in the actual book form which is quite sad as that is how I love to read my books. Even if recently I had to read them on my kindle as I have only bought electronic based books from Amazon right know but I do have actual books. As I first started this book the thing that was going through my mind after the first sentence was ‘Oh great what have I gotten myself into this time?’ but as I went further on in my reading I found out that I actually liked the way that the author was able to suck, no pun intended, into the book. It was a little bit weird when I first read “Images-hers, not mine-tumbled through my mind: fire and blood, the smell of smoke, the twisted metal of a car.” I mean without knowing about the two main characters, Rosemarie and Vasilisa, having a bond that let one of them, Rose, into the other’s head, all because of Lissa bringing Rose back from being dead, was weird but then you end up learning about that later on, toward the end of the book if I’m not mistaken, and then it hits you in the head, or at least it did with me, that this is what the author meant at the beginning of the book.
