Oh... my... God! Holy...I am freaking out! This is the second installment in the Vampire Academy series. Are you kidding me?! This book looks like the last book in the series! Gosh, what will happen in the other four books? I loved this book, it was so entertaining and amazing.

The first book in this series left me feeling a big Meh. It’s confusing, nonsensical premise was distracting, though I felt in some ways it managed to distract from what was essentially a weak plot and simple story.
The same can not be said for Frostbite. The lore of Vampire Academy hasn’t changed but the complexities and further insight, or perhaps just familiarity have lessoned the ache of it. It’s also dealt with differently and in a more realistic way – which is in direct ascen More...

Oh. My. Goodness. Rose Hathaway is back, and she’s the reason we have the word BADASS. Frostbite, the second instalment in the Vampire Academy series, is rather obvious evidence that there is a real reason this series is so colossally popular.
I honestly don’t know why it took me so damn long to read Vampire Academy... and then waited months before reading Frostbite. After (finally) reading it, I’m sold... but where do I start? The amazing BFF relationship? Unique, fascinating mythology More...

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what the big deal over this series is. It’s recommended all over the place, the star average for this is really good, and it’s really popular – maybe I got my hopes up too high? I read the first one, was indifferent to it, and then I heard about this series everywhere. It was a series that got better as it went along. There was character development. The heroine was multi-dimensional. Good, strong romance. Interesting characters. So, after a year, I picke

This book was a firm reminder of why I value my time on Goodreads. Without my terrific GR friends and their harrassment guidance, it would have been a very long time before I attempted to continue this series - if at all.
This time around I was easily able to forget about my previous hang-ups and can see how this series is considered addicting. Once I sat down to read, I lost all concept of time and devoured this story.

I felt like the second installment was better from the first since you kind of drawn to this vampire world and you already know the structures and rules and stuff. Besides unlike the first one, the story is less like Gossip Girl wherein the story for the most part evolves in these gossips between Lissa, Rose and Mia, and well the plot kind of improved in my opinion.

This book was intense! I've already come to the conclusion that I'll read anything that Richelle Mead writes. I think that if you're a fan of either of her other two series you'd like this one a lot too, even though it's a teen series.
This doesn't read like a normal teen series though. There is some of the normal stuff that teens have to deal with; peer pressure, the requisite blond "mean girl," and sexual frustration, among other things. The difference here though is Rose More...

This is a satisfying sequel, because the thing is, Richelle Mead could have gone very obvious with Rose. It would have been easy street, and would have probably still worked, as Rose threw in a quip here and there, kicked some ass, got in trouble, got saved, learned her lesson and then got the boy.
Bada Bing. Bada Boom.
And while Rose may do all those things, she does them in her own way and her own time and becomes a fully fleshed girl whose mistakes you might cringe at but you unders More...

The story picks up right were Vampire Academy left us. Rose and Lissa are still at St. Vladimir’s. Lissa and Christian are now together and Rose is still in love with her mentor/tutor, Dimitri. When a massive Strigoi attack halts everyone’s plans to travel home, St. Vladimir sends its students to a posh Idaho ski resort, so families can come together in a safe place.
But there seems to be a lot more drama happening on the slopes than Rose was expecting. Her good friend Mason has a hug More...

This is one of my favorite vampire series. Mead has created a secret world hidden in our own where Moroi, living vampires, and dhampirs, Guardians who are between human and Moroi with a combination of strong traits from both, survive against attacks by Strigoi, dead vampires with great powers and no morals. It is set mostly in an exclusive and remote Montana boarding school for Moroi and dhampirs. When Rose is taken by Dimitri for testing by a famous and accomplished Guardian they find a house f

FROSTBITE picks up where Vampire Academy leaves off. Rose, a dhampir and guardian, and Lissa, her Moroi best friend, are attempting to get through high school with the added pressure that comes with being a vampire in a world that doesn’t know they exist. Lissa is the last member of the Dragomir royal family and a Moroi. A Moroi is a vampire, but a vampire that doesn’t kill to get blood. They take blood from willing donors and have the ability to use magic that comes from the elements. Usua

I really love this series. I think it's a great series for young adults to sink their teeth into (pun intended).
I think Rose is not only a good strong heroine, but she is an honest one. She isn't perfect, she's flawed and not really afraid to admit it.
Dimitri is sexy as heck and always trying to do the right thing. I love that he, too is an honest character. He tries to do the right thing, yet sometimes gives in and does what feels good instead.

I loved both the central characters. Rose and Lissa. Though it's Rose's show all along . Lissa is major part of her life. Or let's put it that they are inter connected by bonds forged by magic .I loved understanding that bond and the mythology surrounding it. Rose's attraction to Dmitri was totally understandable. Mead makes Greek gods look pale in comparison to this guy. But then again it was frustrating to see them both bound by rules and regulations and what's proper and what's not. Lissa o

Ecco quale è stato il mio pensiero a fine libro.
Devo ammettere che all’inizio ho avuto qualche tentennamento, le pene amorose di Roza (per Dimistri) stavano approdando al solito triangolo strizza cuore… diciamo proprio che ero molto diffidente.
Il profilo psicologico di Rose e di tutti i personaggi che le stanno intorno è decisamente curato senza scendere troppo nel melenso. Credo che questo sia uno dei punti di forza del romanzo, nonostante sia una young fantasy pe More...

For Rose Hathaway, life as a Guardian-in-training at St. Vladimir's Academy is never easy.
While her best friend, future charge, and sole remaining member of the royal family member (Lissa) may no longer be in direct danger, the Strigoi (those vampires who drink blood, possess super-strength, have red pupils, and also have no qualms about using their powers over the elements as a method of attack) are still the greatest threat facing th More...

Mason died. He freaking died! I’m still in denial. I couldn’t stop the tears. I had to chide myself for sobbing like that. He was such a great character. He was funny, full of life, brave and yet his action in the end cost him his life. His affection for Rose was the death of him. His decisions weren’t too smart either but in the end he is dead and I’m even sadder that Rose was in the book.
