Frostbite (Vampire Academy Bk 2) by Richelle Mead

This is the second book in Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy Series. It was a quick read and added some new conflicts.

Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com): Rose loves Dimitri, Dimitri might love Tasha, and Mason would die to be with Rose...

It's winter break at St. Vladimir's, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy's crawling with Guardians—including Rose's hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if handto- hand combat with her mom wasn't bad enough, Rose's tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason's got a huge crush on her, and Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa's head while she's making out with her boyfriend, Christian! The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy's not taking any risks....This year, St. Vlad's annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.
But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only create the illusion of safety. When three friends run away in an offensive move against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. But heroism rarely comes without a price...

What I thought: I liked this book but did not love it. I was saddened by the lack of Rose and Dimitri time in the book. I liked the change of scenery from the academy to the ski resort. This book does have more action and drama than the first, which I really enjoyed. Lissa has a boyfriend Christian, who is very cool. He has become one of my favorite characters in the story. Also a new character, Adrian, is introduced. He is an enigma and I look forward to learning more about him.

Would I recommend this book to a friend? Yes. Even though I did not love it, it was still a fun and fast read.
