This is such an interesting installment, and I can see why this drove so many people away from the series. For a dark & taboo romance reader, for me, its’ like, eh yep ok keep reading. For others, I can see why this turns them off. A lot is revealed in this one though. A lot of furthering connections. I’m so torn on which guy to prefer more because my heart still goes out to Zero for loving Yuki so much. But then there’s Kaname… My rating for this should be a 5, but it’s a 4 because I got so lost in that last chapter. I don’t know - maybe I was tired. Maybe all the characters that all look so similar are throwing me off. Lovely art, but little diversity between characters.

We finally get to learn about Yuki's past and it's a doozy!
Kaname sinks his fangs into Yuki's neck and turns her into a vampire. Only he's not exactly changing her into a vampire. It's more like resurrecting her. Zero drops by just as Yuki is waking and is understandably irate at smelling the blood of two vampires, not just one. He threatens to kill Kaname for turning Yuki, but Yuki stops him. Yuki isn't a new vampire. She's a resurrected vampire. And Kaname is her older brother!
Yuki is a pureblood vampire princess. She was much loved by her parents and older brother, but was in great danger. Her existence was hidden by her family. Finally, to protect her, her mother sacrificed herself to turn Yuki into a human, erasing all her memories.
Yuki was born to be Kaname's wife. Brother and sister marriage is pretty weird, but apparently is not uncommon for pureblood vampires. Yuki's parents were siblings. And as Kaname points out, they're not humans. They don't live by human standards of propriety. However, I get the feeling that Kaname isn't exactly her brother. He calls himself such but he's actually related to her in a different way. I don't entirely understand this from Volume 8 but hope it makes more sense later.
Yuki is different as a vampire, stronger, prettier, more confident. Yet she is still in grave danger. Rido has come to the Academy intent on destroying Yuki. He's inhabiting the body of his son Shiki but no one is fooled, Kaname least of all. He and Kaname finally clash, but it doesn't result in Rido's destruction. Instead Kaname gives his blood to resurrect his enemy. Kaname admits that he's the progenitor of the Kurans and Rido is the master who awakened him. Once again, I don't really get this. I hope to understand it as the series goes on.

So Yuki is a vampire now and is the younger sister of Kaname, her fiancee because it is common for pureblood to marry in the line. Great choice... Not a fan of this twist. Zero is beyond pissed and the uncle of Kaname has regenerated his body in parts of Kaname giving him his blood. So much was scattered around that It hard to follow completely but hopefully the next volume clears it up.

I'm going to be honest and say I didn't understand half of what happened/was revealed in this volume.
