Book Thirty Five : Blood Promise by Richelle Mead
(Vampire Academy Book Four)
There was a Strigoi there, tall and imposing, having sneaked up while I was distracted.
"No. . . ."
I wasn't sure if I said the word or thought it. It didn't matter. The only thing that mattered just then was what my eyes saw before me. Or, rather, what my eyes thought they saw. Because surely, surely, I had to be imagining this. It couldn't be real. Not after all this time.
Dimitri.
My stake was ready. All I had to do was keep swinging to make the kill. I had momentum on my side. . .
But I couldn't. I just needed a few more seconds, a few seconds to drink him in before I killed him. And that's when he spoke.
"Roza." His voice had that same wonderful lowness, the same accent. . . . it was just colder. "You forgot my first lesson; Don't hesitate."
The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir's Academy was the deadliest ever in the school's history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them . . . including Dimitri. He'd rather die than be one of them, and now Rose must abandon her best friend, Lissa--the one she has sworn to protect no matter what--and keep the promise Dimitri begged her to make long ago. But with everything at stake, how can she possibly destroy the person she loves most?
My Thoughts : WOW!! Richelle Mead is a brilliant writer. Every time I finish one of these books, I immediately need to start the next one. Richelle Mead is the queen of cliffhangers!
I'm not sure why this book took me so long to read. I think I started it in the middle of April. But anyways, I finally finished reading it, and I loved it! There were so many twists and turns in this book. I had no idea where the story was going or how it was going to end.
I loved the scenes between Rose and Dimitri. They were so full of emotion and suspense. The scene on the bridge had me in tears! Then the big twist at the end! My emotions were, and still are, everywhere.
I am seriously beginning to think that Rose is my favourite female character. She is incredibly strong and brave. I love that she follows her heart.
This book is about vampires; however, I don't feel like I'm reading a book about vampires. It is simply a love story and I love that about it.
I would definitely recommend this series to everyone. It is so beautifully written.
Now, on to the next book : )
