This is the third book in The Vampire Academy series, I will not post any intentional spoilers but please do not keep reading if you have not read Vampire Academy and Frostbite. 
SUMMARY:
For Rose Hathaway, everything seems out of kilter. Ever since she made her first Strigoi kills, a dark shadow has been creeping over her. Looming in the background, too, is another realization: If she follows her forbidden love for guardian Dimitri Belikov, she might lose her best friend forever. And these sleep-shaking worries couldn't have come at a worse time. The immortal unloving are prowling everywhere, famished for vengeance against her. An adrenaline-laced episode of the teen pop favorite Vampire Academy. -Goodreads.com
CONDENSED REViEW:
Wow this book is amazing.  I read the first book of the VA series and I really didn't like it.  I almost gave up on the series but I'm super glad I didn't!  So far this is my favorite book of this series, and definitely one of my favorite books in general!  Go buy this book now! You won't regret it.


REViEW:
Wow. Read this book NOW! Like go out and buy it, it's amazing! Even if you read the first book and didn't care for it KEEP READING, it really, REALLY gets better! The plot was just amazing! It was straight forward and intriguing. I was interested the entire time and never got bored, even though it was a little slow at first. There were a ton of twists and action that made me want to keep reading. 


The characters were so much more developed in this book. I really liked them a lot more and was able to relate with them. I think that the characters really made this book memorable. I started to respect Rose a lot more in this book. She's really tough and I really enjoyed that. Dimitri was amazing, as always, I really wish he existed... Lissa is still as sweet as ever. I really started to love Christian in this book, he wasn't as arrogant as usual. Same with Adrian, he gained some respect.


The ending proudly did this book justice. It was amazing just like the beginning and the middle. I really liked the ending but it did leave me a little sad. It really made me want to read the next book, which I have already started.

My Favorite Part: This was a hard one... I think it would have to be Dimitri and Rose's relationship. I just really enjoyed it.

ALL iN ALL:
Do I recommend this book? YES BUY IT RIGHT NOW
Does this series get better from Vampire Academy? YES just please BUY IT NOW you will not regret it 
Will I be reading the next book? Yes, I already started it :)


Thank you all for reading! I would love to hear your comments on the Vampire Academy Series or any comments in general!
