Hrm. Not the best ending this series could have gotten.
Actually, the ending kind of stank entirely. :( Vlad totally overreacted when Snow "died." Some of the death scenes at the end of the novel were incredibly rushed and smacked the reader across the face, leaving us with a breathless, "Wait, what just happened?" sort of feeling.
There was really no time to mourn any of those who passed. And Nelly's funeral only got one and a half pages, which was pathetically short for someone so very central to the storyline since book one.
Not only that, but I can't say I was shocked to find out the truth about Vlad's father. His reemergence into the series for just the last book, all willy-nilly, was simply far too fishy to just roll with.
The last few lines in the book still have me wanting more. Somehow, I get the inkling that Vlad's going to get a sequel, perhaps taking place in Stokerton University?
Only time will tell....

This was a pretty solid ending to the series. I've got to day though, name-dropping a Seether song from a 2004 album in a book that came out in 2010 made for a great laugh. That song would have had to have been 5 years old at least in story, being played at a high-school Halloween party lol
Also, the Nelly thing was a real downer. Made me feel just a touch sad, which is saying something for a series that I no longer care much about.

***SPOILER ALERT!!!! SPOILER ALERT!!!!***
OMG!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!!! Sooooo actiony! i wish that Vikas hadn't been bad. I also wish Nelly hadn't died. But, even so, no truly good story can have a completely happy ending. Although, this one was a little too bitter, it was still sweet. The ending, however, made me feel like there was going to be a sequel......... hmmmmm.

Best Line? "Vlad wiped her lip gloss from his lips with the back of his hand. Vampires, after all, didn't sparkle."
Take That Twilight!!!:)

I read this series about 8-9 years ago in my early preteens. And my memory of this is that’s the entire series is fantastic. But I know if I got back and read it now In this current day I would hate the entire series. So as a result I am not going to reread it and leave it as a pleasant memory in my head and give each book five stars because that’s what I would’ve gave it when I read it. This is for you 11 year old me.

All I will say is holy bleeping bleep. There is no way I could possibly give a review of this book without feeling the urge to talk about my favourite parts.All I can say is that I am very pumped with how Heather Brewer wrote this series and the developments.

3.5. It gets higher than a 3 for the moments Vlad spends with Snow and a feisty Nelly. The good story telling keeps you going, just wished the pieces were knit together a little better. Still a good series. Middle School appropriate and style.
