Book two in the international #1 bestselling Vampire Academy series!
Rose loves Dimitri, Dimitri might love Tasha, and Mason would die to be with Rose…
It’s winter break at St. Vladimir’s, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy’s crawling with Guardians—including Rose’s hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if handto- hand combat with her mom wasn’t bad enough, Rose’s tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason’s got a huge crush on her, and Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa’s head while she’s making out with her boyfriend, Christian! The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy’s not taking any risks.... This year, St. Vlad’s annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.
But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only create the illusion of safety. When three friends run away in an offensive move against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. But heroism rarely comes without a price…
Frostbite is the second book in the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. As you might have guessed in the previous post, where I reviewed Vampire Academy I have fallen in love with this series.
After finishing Vampire Academy I immediately set up on a quest to obtain Frostbite. Finding it at my local Wal-Mart gave me the perfect opportunity to procure the object of my interest. I hoped that this wouldn't be one of those series that has a completely awesome first book and then goes downhill. I was not disappointed.
When a Strigoi attack on royal Moroi family shakes up the vampire world, the school's annual holiday ski trip becomes mandatory for Moroi and Dhampirs alike. Rose's legendary mother, Jean Hathaway appears as well, making for some very interesting interactions between the two.
But when some rogue Dhampir & Moroi students take off after the Strigoi, things get a bit on the hairy side. This book keeps you wondering what will happen, that's for sure. As always the characters are engaging, with new characters being thrown into the mix during this part of the series.
Frostbite left me chomping at the bit to get a copy of Shadow Kiss, the third novel in the series. This series is definitely one that I plan on collecting all of the books to!
