Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy Series is a Winner. The sixth and Final book in the series does not disappoint, it is just as fabulous as all the other books in the series, actually it's even better. I felt like there was such a high expectation on this book and after you finish the book you amazed at how good this book is and also how sad that the series had just ended. I can honestly say that I was 100% satisfied with the ending, Mead could not have ended the series any better (or maybe she co ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Where to start? I don't think I can put into words how much I loved this book. I didn't want it to end. I'm sorry I had to make this a review with spoilers, I can't help it, it's the only way I can talk about it.

This was the perfect ending to a wonderful series. I've been very attached to this series, I've enjoyed every single twist and turn along the way.

Love. Intrigue. Politics. Action. Humor.

This book picks up right where the last book left off. I won't get into the details of what happens in ...more

4 stars for the scenes with Rose, Dmitri and Abe. 2 stars for the scenes that take place in Lissa's head. I really dislike that story line. I would have preferred the story to have spent more time with Rose. Lissa is not an interesting character so any storyline revolving around her just falls flat. The parts involving Rose, Dmitri and Abe were fun and the best part of the books. I liked the resolution of the story. ...more

Rose's story ends with a bang -- and a sigh, and gadoodles of laughs.

Vampire Academy fans can finally relax. All the loose ends we have been living with the past few years have been neatly tied up in the final book of the Vampire Academy series, LAST SACRIFICE. And just to make sure that the creepy, satisfied smile I've been wearing since release day remains, Richelle Mead has announced there will be a spin off series focusing on the tales of some of the secondary characters in Vampire Academy. Rose's story ends with a bang -- and a sigh, and gadoodles of laughs.

Vampire Academy fans can finally relax. All the loose ends we have been living with the past few years have been neatly tied up in the final book of the Vampire Academy series, LAST SACRIFICE. And just to make sure that the creepy, satisfied smile I've been wearing since release day remains, Richelle Mead has announced there will be a spin off series focusing on the tales of some of the secondary characters in Vampire Academy. Whoot!

All those new to the series, yes, you can probably get away with reading this book first or as a stand-alone. But why? Just don't do it. The six books work together to make every comma and kiss worthy of savoring in this amazing finale. All the characters we love to love (Dimitri anyone?) and the ones we love to hate (Can I hear it for Queen Tatiana?) have their moments as Rose moves from all that defined her milestones as she grew up, into the mature, capable and steady adult we leave at the close.

This is the book that defines what Rose's future will be like now that she is a graduate of the Academy. She's been accused of murdering Queen Tatiana, Dimitri lost a big part of who he was while he was Strigoi (including his ability to love), Adrian has become Rose's rock, and Lissa is no longer the shadow behind Rose, but the Royal worthy of that protection.

In their combined quest to discover who the true murderer is and to give Lissa the power to vote on the council, resolutions to all the conflicts and questions unfold. There are more twist and turns than a sailor's knot. Just when you think you have it all figured out, surprise, think again.

I can normally read a book or two a day. This one took me four, yes FOUR, days to savor. I just had to take every single word slow and cherish the whole experience. I want to give a big shout out to Richelle Mead, and a Texas-sized thank-you hug for such a joyful journey and satisfying ending. Thank you for keeping the ride going. I look forward to visiting the world of the moroi again and learning more about some of those who intrigued me along the way.

I'm not much of a fan of Young Adult books. In fact, you can typically find my reviews in the erotica section. Still, Ms Mead captivated me with Rose. The tone was always mature, but most importantly at the center was a truly complex character in a well-scripted and interesting world. There was nothing young, naive or simplistic about Rose Hathaway, making her captivating.

And we can't forget the many hawt men of the Academy. Dimitri, Rose's sexy guardian trainer who can protect my body any day of the week; Adrian, the spoiled rich boy who falls for the girl on the wrong side of the tracks, and Christian, the tortured emo dude who manages to snag the attention and love of a princess. What's not to love, right?

Vampire Academy is a wonderful series, and LAST SACRFICE continues that legacy. New fans, start with book one and enjoy the journey. Long-time fans, prepare to smile, laugh, cry, cringe and sigh. It's all here, complete with the most perfect ending I could have imagined. Enjoy!

fun, fun, fun! . Loved the series and I was happy with the ending. You can pretty much guess what character is going to be showing up in the spin off. I am an official Richelle Mead fan!

Loved it of course!!! So sad the series over though! Its one of my all time favorites! Im going to miss Rose!!

**** Warning Spoilers *****

I was a little upset with how it ended though. I love Adrian and hated to see him get his heart broken! I knew it was inevitable, but I was still hoping he would walk away ok, not like he did! Plus I want to know what happens with some of the other characters like Jill and Syndney. I guess thats what Bloodlines is for! Can't wait for those!! ...more
