Amazing! A great follow up to the first three books, and yet another five stars. I so hope this series is going where I hope it's going. It has to, it just has to.
This book started off a little slow while she's with Dimitri's family. But overall, it was really good and ended in another cliffhanger. So, of course, I will have to continue right into the next one.
I really hope that Christian and Lissa get back together. He's such a great and loving character. I can't seem him not forgiving her, even though she was under a compulsion spell. I think BECAUSE of that he should forgive her.
I saw the whole Abe is her father thing as soon as he showed up in the story. Plus I connected the Ibraham thing to Abe. It was sort of obvious, but I'm still glad his character was brought into the story and I hope we learn more about him.
I'm also very much happy that Dimitri's not dead. I pretty much knew he wasn't because just reading the descriptions for the next book is a giveaway of that. But, I'm still happy to read that he isn't. I don't thing he's coming to killer her, I still think he wants to change her. I know he still loves her and that's why, even as a Strigoi he wants her. Even if he can't say it in the state he's in. So I just know she'll save him. I just hope it's in the next book - that I don't know.
But as for Adrian, I'm really feeling for him now. If there's a chance that Rose and Dimitri can still be together then I am still rooting for them. However, I really don't know what the plan is with Adrian's character. I just hope that he's not destroyed at the end of this, he's such a good person. Between the two though, I still want Dimitri and Rose to be together. I hope they will, but I hope something happy happens for Adrian too.
With that said, I'm off to read the next one!

Tbh I think this is a 5/5
I absolutely loved this book. Yes mostly because of how toxic Dimitri was but their tension and angst and love and everything even while he was a strigoi!??!??
God you best believe I was here for it and so happy for all the twists along the way. I’m so excited for the next book!!!

Sin duda este libro me gusto mucho pero mucho mas que todos los anteriores, en el pasaron todas esas cosas con las que estuve soñando que pasaran desde unos libros sin mencionar que me siento totalmente enamorada de Adrián.

One gif summarizes this:
And to think the other three books were so good. What saved it from falling into the trap where 'girl constantly cannot get over her tru-luv and spends page after page obsessing over him' was her friends and what was going on at the Academy.
Lets hope the last two books are better.

I guess now that Rose is away from school we're just gonna pretend it's fine that her 24-year-old teacher slept with a child. This book also made me realize how odd the concept is Strigoi is. Becoming a Strigoi alters someone's personality in a very specific way, so they're like the same person with the same memories and hobbies, except... evil?? It's really weird.
This series also keeps reusing the plot point of characters behaving poorly because of spirit, and it just makes the characters kind of annoying.

This was... okay. The last quarter is absolutely amazing, but everything before that ranges from meh to eh. Which is to say, it was a bit slow and I skimmed the middle a bit. I was excited to see Abe, my fave! He's the best. The side plot with Lissa is kind of boring. I'm glad things seem to be (as of the ending) moving more positively in Adrian's direction, because I think he's earned it. It was cool to see Russia, and I enjoyed that part. Sydney is the main character in Bloodlines, the spinoff series, and it was interesting to see her here. I like her. I (rightly) wasn't much of a fan of Strigoi Dimitri. So overall, while I didn't love a lot of this, it does come together in a very fun, exciting way at the end. 3.5 stars.
