Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead --> Restarting November 8th 2017

[Katrina G]

Spirit Bound, chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ UGH, Tatianna is the worst! I can't stand her. Lissa should have gotten a vote (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Last Sacrifice, chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ I'm not so much surprised that everyone broke Rose out of jail, but I'm surprised with just how many people were involved with it. Hopefully they get a lot of stuff figured out before Rose gets caught (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Last Sacrifice, chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ What the hell Rose? I know she's known for making stupid selfish choices, but this is by far the worst one she's made. This is the first time I've ever been really annoyed with her (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Last Sacrifice, chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ Lol why do people always assume Rose is getting herself into a relationship that she isn't in? First it was Tatiana with Adrian (before they did get together), and now it's these Keeper people lol (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Last Sacrifice, chapter 17 (view spoiler)[ For a second, that test was giving me a Hunger Games kind of feel (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Last Sacrifice, chapter 22 (view spoiler)[ Wait a minute! So Jill is Lissa's long lost relative? Lissa is going to be so pissed lol (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Last Sacrifice, chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ Oh man. Why on earth didn't anybody pay more attention to Victor and what he was doing? (hide spoiler)]

[Katrina G]

Last Sacrifice, chapter 35 (view spoiler)[ I'm sad that things have ended so badly between Rose and Adrian. I had hoped they would still be friends at least (hide spoiler)]

Reading from Frostbite from the 1st of May 2017

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

[Sharon]

I'm starting this. It's been 3.5 years and I want to refresh my mind on books 2-6.

[Sharon]

Frostbite, Prologue: (view spoiler)[ It is nice to get a recap of what happened in the first book and the different types of vampires are. I still can't pronounce Strigoi properly. I am happy to re-read this series. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[
Well, can't say there is a lot of love between Rose and her mom. Her mom is definitely hiding some important details about Rose's father and I think that will come into play in a big way at some point. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Frostbite, Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[ I have Miss Rose and her sense of humor. She is still my favourite character on the series. Oh great, her mother. The relationship between them is not that good. I wonder how that will turn out. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Frostbite, Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[ I think Rose feels left out and not loved because Lissa has Christian and Dimitri is resisting his attraction for Rose. Also, her mother is not helping out as well because she never is around Rose enough to know her that well. OMG! Dimitri as Tasha's guardian? That is not good for Rose! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Frostbite, Chapter 17: (view spoiler)[ I wish Mason and Rose would have stayed together a little bit longer. However, I know she really loves Dimitri and no one will ever be him. I just feel bad for Mason. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Frostbite, Chapter 22: (view spoiler)[ No!!! Mason!!! Why? I still can't get over the fact that he has died. I am so sad. I loved him and it's sad to see him go. Poor Rose. Watching her best friend died like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ Finally someone has said what I've been thinking! These vampires are strong, fast, and have special powers! Why can't they start protecting themselves!? (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 17
(view spoiler)[
Come on, we all know you're going to end up with Dimitri by the end of this book. But, good for her wanting to go to Mason because hat really is no fair for him. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Called it. I knew they'd basically be together at the end of this. I don't agree with the idea that him and Tasha shouldn't at least make a child. I know that sounds weird, but guardians are a dying breed and Tasha is genuinely lonely. I guess that's just the modern day thinking that it's totally okay for a woman to want a child and and to raise it alone, but who knows? (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ This whole ghost thing is really weird but I think it does have something to do with her being "shadow kissed". (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Shadow Kiss, Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ I wonder how six weeks of Christian and Rose will be like considering Lissa is with him 24/7. Therefore, she does get to guard Lissa in a way as well. However, why did they give her Christian as her field experience instead of Lissa? Very odd since they know that she will guard Lissa after graduation. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Chapter 17
(view spoiler)[
This whole ghost thing is getting out of control but it definitely has to do with Rose being shadow kissed (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Shadow Kiss, Chapter 6: (view spoiler)[ I think she should have told Lissa about seeing Mason's ghost. Also, I wonder what they will do about the trial. Will they convince the other Guardians that they need to be there as they know what truly happened as well? I think it is better if Rose, Lissa, and Christian were testifying as well. It would make a strong case for the Queen. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Shadow Kiss, Chapter 12: (view spoiler)[ I like how Rose and Mia have started to work out their differences and are becoming friends. I liked their interaction. It is cool to see how they went from being mean and snarky to helpful and kind. The experiences that they went through might be the cause for this change. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Shadow Kiss, Chapter 23: (view spoiler)[ I am sorry to the people who are not Dimitri and Rose fans, but I love them. I am so happy that this scene happened because it shows just how much they love each other. Love it! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Shadow Kiss, Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ I really enjoyed this book. There was a lot of action and suspense. I really liked how the series gets better and better. I thought this book was better than both books 1 and 2. The last few chapters were the best as it was emotional. Rose and Dimitri finally did the deed after which the Strigoi attacked. Dimitri was turned Strigoi during the attack. Rose leaves Lissa to find Dimitri and help him. I thought the emotions in these last few events are the reason the book made me enjoy it even more. I give this book a 4.25/5. (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Sharon wrote: "Shadow Kiss, Chapter 23: [spoilers removed]"

I have such mixed feelings about them! I love them as a couple BUT the age was a bit hard to get passed in the beginning, but now she's 18 (well, almost)

[Ariel]

Chapter 24
(view spoiler)[
Finally the Moroi are stepping up to the plate! I knew I liked Christian for a reason lol (hide spoiler)]

[Ariel]

Finished
(view spoiler)[
Nooooooooo Dimitri, I love you!!! There has to be some sort of twist. He's definitely fine, being held captive but not Stigori. I can't believe Rose actually left Lissa and left the academy, but I was getting a bit tired of the school scene (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

@Nicole: I'll be reading Blood Promise straight after Shadow Kiss.

[Maddie]

Probably start Shadow Kiss today.

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

I forgot to start this! XD

Okay okay I'll start with you tomorrow!

[Maddie]

XD Good thing I messaged you :p

I'm 2% in (view spoiler)[I've read this one once before, and it's coming back to me. I think. XD I'm not too sure.

I always get surprised when I hear the 7 years age gap between Dimitri and her. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

9% (view spoiler)[Yeah I remember this one so well. I thought this was the second book, but maybe the second book was the one with the Moroi and Mason's death. What happened in the first one then? Oh wait that was the Dashkov one, right?

I almost may as well not read this, but I should. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

15% (view spoiler)[Oh woah, Mason. I can't believe he messed up her test like that! What does he want!! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Done with this for the night. I'll continue tomorrow. Might even finish XD We'll see. If not tomorrow then the next day for sure. Either way, I won't finish Blood Promise until probably Monday/Tuesday.

[Maddie]

25% (view spoiler)[I actually really like Christian and Rose's relationship! They could be awesome besties!

And I love how Christian has insecurities about Lissa and Adrian. It's realistic.

I wonder what Jesse's up to now.. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

32% (view spoiler)[Sweet they're going to the trial! (hide spoiler)]

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Okayyy I'm starting now. Probably not getting far since I have to 15 min to read so don't rush in case you're reading your other book.

[Maddie]

Haha this is my focus now, and then I'll start Blood Promise before putting it on pause for 2 days to squish in another book. They're both counting for monthly. But then after Blood Promise I won't need to read the 5th one until August :p

[Nicole's Book Diaries]

Lol ok good cuz I might not go as fast.

I've been in a slump lately hopefully this helps me get back into reading.

[Maddie]

No worries :) The book's so good so far!

[Maddie]

Finishing off today.

[Maddie]

44% (view spoiler)[Can't really remember what happened between here and the last time I updated, as I forgot to update as soon as I finished reading. But I remember that I'm looking forward to reading Lissa's testimony! And the fact that Dimitri lied under oath. That's so serious. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Looks like I really am giving August to you :p I really hope we are on the same team!

[Maddie]

That would be perfect.

[Maddie]

52% (view spoiler)[Okaaayyyy so Lissa is now living in the Moroi Royal Court for college. Where does that leave Christian, seeing as they're already talking about kids..?

And what the heck? I'd be so frustrated if I was Rose being told I was sleeping with someone when I wasn't. No way to prove it either! And then her wanting Adrian and Lissa to marry! That's not such a bad match, but her and Christian :(

Is it weird that for once I don't see Rose and Christian getting together? Normally when they protective thing happens it's a given, but I'm not feeling it here. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

59% (view spoiler)[I somehow don't think it's PTSD. Glad she finally told someone though! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

86% (view spoiler)[Well those attacks were intense. And the sex. I can't believe they got Eddie again!

I love Christian :D (hide spoiler)]

Sorry forgot to update.
