Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, #5)

by Richelle Mead

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri's birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir's - and to her best friend, Lissa. It is at long last graduation, and the girls can't wait for their real lives beyond the Academy's iron gates to begin. But Rose's heart still aches for Dimitri, and she knows he's out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance. And now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and now he is hunting her. And this time he won't rest until Rose joins him . . . forever.

Vampire Academy is back! Lissa and rose are not as close as they used to be, but Lissa will follow Rose, literally in everything she does. Rose is with Adrian, yet she pines for Dimitri, who everyone knows has gone "bad." In the last book, Robert claimed he could turn "bad" vampires into normal vampires again. Rose wants to know how. As usual, there is a cliff hanger. Everyone can agree with me that cliff hangers are cruel.
Let me start off with one thing- the picture on the cover is misleading to what is actually in the book. In my opinion, they finished the goal of the novel too quick. I was beginning to get a little bored. However, I have warmed up to Adrian quite a bit, but I'm still rooting for Dimitri to take his rightful place as Rose's boyfriend. I think that what Rose did with Adrian was completely WRONG- if you read the book you'll know what I'm talking about. It reminded me about the scene in the first novel, where Rose stripped down to her bra (or something like that) with Mason- I half expected Dimitri to walk in on them as he did with her and Mason. And I was really starting to feel that Dimitri might be totally indifferent about Rose. Dimitri wanting to fight her doesn't mean anything- just that he respects her that much to give her some sort of notice. You know I'll buy the next one- this series is too addicting not to buy it.
