I waited so long to read this book and now it brings really mixed emotions in me and i must admit that i don't know exactly how i feel about it. Don't get me wrong I LOVED IT but there were still some moments where i wasn't sure.
First off i knew Abe was Rose's father from the get go, there was just something about him that screamed that to be the case. I can certainly see where she gets her stubbornness and attitude, lol.
Sydney was cool too, although i think i exp Wow... all i can say is wow!!!!

Sydney was cool too, although i think i expected more of her in the book. I hope both she and Abe are in future books.
Adrian really stepped up in this book and i absolutely loved seeing him be like he was. I'm still TEAM DIMITRI all the way, but i did soften towards Adrian slightly.

I really felt for Rose in this book and sometimes my heart just broke for her. It was so sad *sob*
I felt she had changed and continued to change heaps as a character and i was really pleased when she got to meet Dimitri's family. I loved them!
And Dimitri? Oh, Dimitri! He was bad and yet.... he was so good. I will admit that i did share Rose's feelings about him. He was/is evil (anyone can see that) but he seemed so much like his old self that at times i did forget what he was and found myself thinking of him as the old Dimitri everyone knew and loved. Then he'd do something or say something that was so evil and so unlike the old Dimitri that i was like...... crap, he's a Strigoi for crying out loud! Don't forget that.
One thing i absolutely loved was in the end when Rose came back and her and Lissa made up. I'm glad to see that Lissa can understand what Rose felt for Dimitri and understands (slightly) why she did what she did. I'm happy to see that Lissa will go with Rose if and when she leaves again.
I'm SOOOOOOO glad Rose didn't kill Dimka and i really hope against hope, that between her and Lissa they can find away to save him. I hope that this Robert guy is able to heel Dimitri somehow.
Then maybe he and Rose can actually have a happy ending..... they deserve it.
Now my finally note is that i CAN'T wait until Spirit Bound to be released. I think it's gonna be really interesting and as far as i'm concerned, next year ISN'T SOON ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!

Major spoiler alert! Don't read if u haven't read the book yet!

Oh my gosh, I finally read this book! It wouldn't give me any rest. The most part I was looking forward to was Dimitri's behaivor, I didn't quite know what to expect from him being Strigoi (I never questioned the fact he might not have turned into one). And of course their reunion. The first part of the book was kinda slow (and I understand Rose' jorney had to be told) so thats basically why I gave 4 stars for this book. In this firs ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Okay, i will start with Rose casue she is my absolute favourite and reminds me uber of myself:P

I think you can definately see how much the characters are changing in these books, Rose in particular. Starting in the first book, she was all tough, rebel and swore, etc. Then along came Dimitri (ooh, i want him:P) He definately rocked her world, teaching Rose everything. (only at the end did she realize he was the same, fighting for control.) But, over time and with all the situations Rose was put ...more
