“A dark and compelling world! Rose is sassy, dangerous -my kind of girl.” -Gena Showalter
This book is one of a couple other books she had written. This is also the first of a series. She writes in Roses’ perspective and it stays that way. The only time it is in Lissas’ perspective and Roses’ is when Rose goes into Lissa mind. Then have sush a strong connection and you and just feel it. That they have a very special and unique bond. I haven’t read any other books by her but plan to later on.
“The guy’s dark eyes lingered on the now covered bite a moment longer and then met mine. I returned his look defiantly and quickly jerked out of his hold. He let me go, though I knew he could have restrained me all night if he’d wanted.” (11)
This book was great! I don’t like reading, but I enjoyed reading Vampire Academy. It made me want to keep reading. There was a lot of turns and suspense. She put a lot of great effort on this book and it paid off. There is so much detail and description that it is almost as if I was there tagging along with them the whole time.
