This is book 3 of Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy Series. This book was my favorite from the series. I must say I hated the cover design of this book. The girl on the cover is supposed to be Lissa. While the girls eyes are green she is not "beautiful" as Lissa is described in the story.
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com): Is Rose's fate to kill the person she loves most? It's springtime at St. Vladimir's Academy, and Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation. Since Mason's death, Rose hasn't been feeling quite right. She has dark flashbacks in the middle of practice, can't concentrate in class, and has terrifying dreams about Lissa. But Rose has an even bigger secret . . . .She's in love with Dimitri. And this time, it's way more than a crush.
Then Strigoi target the academy in the deadliest attack in Moroi history, and Dimitri is taken. Rose must protect Lissa at all costs, but keeping her best friend safe could mean losing Dimitri forever...
Why this book was my favorite: Rose and Dimitri’s relationship moves to the next level (finally). Although I wished the love scene had not been merely skimmed over and a tad more detailed. This story is packed full of tension. I loved all the action, fighting, loving, and changing. This book definitely has a darker tone than the previous books with more bloodshed and drama. New friendships are strengthening from unlikely allies. This book has Rose seeing ghosts which always makes for interesting reading. Rose is maturing and becoming a woman, she is finally starting to make decisions concerning her own future. The ending finished on a cliffhanger and I can’t believe I have to wait until August 2009 to read the next in this series!
