Blood Promise (Vampire Academy #4) by Richelle Mead. Published Aug 29, 2009 by Penguin Razorbill. CDN $10.99 Kindle edition
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? (Goodreads Excerpt)
What to say?…I am so in love with this series…amazing!
This story just keeps getting better and better with each book. I can’t seem to get enough…thankfully there are still more for me to read! But holy crap what a cliffhanger! Can my heart start pumping again now please?!?
I love Dimitri…I keep hoping and hoping that somehow…well you know what I want…I have no idea if I will get my wish or if Rose will finish with the promise she made to him. I mean I don’t want Rose to become a Strigoi, but….I so want them to be together…Just wait and see I guess.
When it comes to a book series it is hard to come up with a review that doesn’t include spoilers from the other books. Suffice it to say that this book continues to be amazing. I already downloaded the next book. The characters are wickedly fun to engage in. I’m still waiting to see if anything develops with Adrian as I love his character. The story line is engaging and exciting and full of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.
Can’t wait for the next book! 5 stars for me.
