Book Blurb:

The first book in Richelle Mead’s brand-new teen fiction series – set in the same world as Vampire Academy.

When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive – this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood.

My Thoughts:

I bought this book on the same week as the release and I was a bit worried about the story. I loved Vampire Academy series and Rose is one of the most powerful female characters, that I just couldn’t start this book. I miss Rose and after reading great reviews about it I decided to give it a try, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Sydney was one of the characters that added to the story in VA, but didn’t give a good vibe. During her escape with Rose, she made a pact with Abe Mazur, and that wasn’t really explained during that series, so for me she was a dubious character. But this time she made things better and once when got to know about her family and why this life is so important to her, everything made sense.

I missed Adrian so much, he has a great sense of humor and that made a hoe different for this book. Since is not set in St. Vladimir, we kind of miss the powers and the strange classes but Adrian is still Adrian and I think in some book he’s really gonna shine and definily save their world.

Jill I still don’t know yet what to expect but we’ll see. She was very smart and a bit self conscious but that was explained, so we’ll have to wait for next book and discover more about her, and hope that she stays away from problems.

Why I Started This Book:

I couldn’t stop reading after the huge cliff Richelle left in the first book.

Summary:

Georgina Kincaid’s job sucks. Literally.

Love hurts, and no one knows it better than Georgina Kincaid. If she so much as kisses Seth Mortensen, the shy, sexy, incredibly gifted Seattle writer she’s been dating, she’ll drain his life force. Georgina is a succubus-a demon who draws her power from other men’s pleasure. Admittedly, the shapeshifting and immortality perks are terrific, and yes, Georgina did choose to join the ranks of hell centuries ago. But it seems completely unfair that a she-demon whose purpose is seduction can’t get hot and heavy with the one mortal who knows and accepts her for who she is.

It’s not just her personal life that’s in chaos. Doug, Georgina’s co-worker at a local bookstore, has been exhibiting bizarre behavior, and Georgina suspects that something far more demonic than double espressos is at work. She could use help finding out, but Bastien, an irresistibly charming incubus and her best immortal friend, is preoccupied with corrupting an ultra-conservative talk radio star-and giving Georgina some highly distracting come-hither vibes. Georgina is going to have to work solo on this one-and fast because soon, Doug’s life won’t be the only one on the line.

Characters:

My Thoughts:

I liked the fact that Georgina has found a way to continue her relationship with Seth, even though sex is a big issue for most couples, for this is huge problem taking in consideration that Seth is a good guy and make it harder for Georgie to control herself, as seen in the last book, how bad it almost ended.

Also another plus fact for this book, is the drug problem, especially since they live in a different kind of world and the author find a way to speak about the drugs problem, envolving especially the artists.

Another then, I wish for just one book that Jerome and Carter could speak freealy about what is happening, cause is weird how quiet and the looks they share. At least a little suspect.

This one didn’t exactly finish in one cliff, but at least leave open to another one on the series.

You Might Enjoy This Book If:

You liked the first one and couldn’t put it down, plus there are vampires and angels in this series, how could ot be better?

Favorite Quotes:

“Sometimes I do. Sometimes I look at him…and I remember how it was when I kissed him and felt that love. It makes me want that back. I want to feel it again. I want to return to it. Other times though…other times, I’m so scared. I listen to these guys…and to Jerome…and then the doubts gnaw at me. I can’t get them out of my head. We’ve been sleeping together, you know. Literally. It hasn’t been a problem so far, but sometimes I lie awake watching him, thinking this can’t last. The longer it does…I feel like…like I’m standing on a high wire, with Seth at one end and me at the other. We’re trying to reach each other, but one misstep, one breeze, one side-glance, and I’ll fall over the edge. And keep falling and falling.”

Carter leaned toward me and brushed the hair away from the side of my face. “Don’t look down then,” he whispered.”

“You had your heart broken much?”

He paused. “Of course. Everyone does. Part of life.”

“Tell me her name. I’ll kick her ass. I don’t want anyone hurting you.”

He rested his face against my hair, his tone even and gentle when he spoke. “You’re wondrous and powerful and gifted, but even you can’t save me from hurting. No one can do that for anyone. I can make things perfect in the fictions I create, but the real world isn’t so kind. That’s just how it is. And anyway, for every bad thing in life, there are more good things to tip the balance.”

“Like what?”

“Like little blonde nieces. And royalty checks. And you.”

Why I Started This Book:

True is he’s been in my wishlist for a while but what gaves me the push was a book club.

Summary:

Succubus (n.) An alluring, shape-shifting demon who seduces and pleasures mortal men. Pathetic (adj.) A succubus with great shoes and no social life. See: Georgina Kincaid.

When it comes to jobs in hell, being a succubus seems pretty glamorous. A girl can be anything she wants, the wardrobe is killer, and mortal men will do anything just for a touch. Granted, they often pay with their souls, but why get technical?

But Seattle succubus Georgina Kincaid’s life is far less exotic. Her boss is a middle-management demon with a thing for John Cusack movies. Her immortal best friends haven’t stopped teasing her about the time she shape-shifted into the Demon Goddess getup complete with whip and wings. And she can’t have a decent date without sucking away part of the guy’s life. At least there’s her day job at a local bookstore–free books; all the white chocolate mochas she can drink; and easy access to bestselling, sexy writer, Seth Mortensen, aka He Whom She Would Give Anything to Touch but Can’t.

But dreaming about Seth will have to wait. Something wicked is at work in Seattle’s demon underground. And for once, all of her hot charms and drop-dead one-liners won’t help because Georgina’s about to discover there are some creatures out there that both heaven and hell want to deny…

Characters:

My Thoughts:

I had this book on my list for a while and needed a litlle push in the right direction. The truth I always end up reading a vampire book over the other ones, can’t help it.

This book was a good surprise cause I even found a vampire in the midlle and wasn’t expectin, book they are so different from the rest you found in other books.

I loved the fact, that the end gives a little cliff for the next book making the characters without a real end, but that’s ok since I love a good series.

The interest part is that Georgina gives pieces of her formam life, the mortal one, during the story. So the book keep us entertained all the time. I coundn’t put it down, and it tuck me two days because I had to sleep some moment.

Georgina is smart, funny, but feels stuck in the past and the mistake that rules her life. I loved her friends, especially the vampire called Peter, cause I couldn’t stop laughing after the description for his hair.

Seth is a very sweet boy, that also has trouble with his past, and needs a litlle push for his love life.

Roman was perfect, too damn perfect, and keep me gessing in the book wich side he is.

You Might Enjoy This Book If:

You like a good supernatural book, cause in this one you gonna find everything, from angels to vampires and of course the succubus from the title.

Favorite Quotes:

“Sometimes you wake up from a dream. Sometimes you wake up in a dream. And sometimes, every once in a while, you wake up in someone else’s dream. ”

“Well, that depends, I suppose. I heard someone once say that men dance the same way they have sex. So, if you want everyone here to think you’re the kind of guy who just sits around and—”
He stood up. “Let’s dance.”

“I figured I could read more than five pages tonight since I’d been deprived for the last couple of days. When I finished the fifteenth, I discovered I was three pages from the next chapter. Might as well end with a clean break. After I was done, I sighed and leaned back, feeling decadent and spent. Pure bliss. Books were a lot less messy than orgasms.”

Why I Started This Book:

When I first saw the cover for Bloodlines and started to read the summary, and discover it was a spin-off I went in search for the original series on Goodreads. In my contry there’s a lot of talking about Richelle Mead books, so decided to give it a shot and was very impressed.

Summary:

Salvation has its price.
The words stunned Adrian for a moment, but he kept going. “You’re lying. What you’re describing is impossible. There’s no way to save a Strigoi. When they’re gone, they’re gone. They’re dead. Undead. Forever.”

Robert’s next words weren’t directed at Adrian. They were spoken to me. “That which is dead doesn’t always stay dead….”

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri’s birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir’s—and to her best friend, Lissa Dragomir. It’s graduation, and the girls can’t wait for their real lives outside of the Academy’s cold iron gates to finally begin. But even with the intrigue and excitement of court life looming, Rose’s heart still aches for Dimitri. He’s out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance, and now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and she knows in her heart that he is hunting her. And if Rose won’t join him, he won’t rest until he’s silenced her…forever.

But Rose can’t forget what she learned on her journey—whispers of a magic too impossible and terrifying to comprehend. A magic inextricably tied to Lissa that could hold the answer to all of Rose’s prayers, but not without devastating consequences. Now Rose will have to decide what—and who—matters most to her. In the end, is true love really worth the price?

Fall in love with Rose and Dimitri all over again in Spirit Bound, the eagerly awaited fifth novel in Richelle Mead’s enthralling Vampire Academy series.

Caracters:

My Thoughts:

I love this series, and of course this book has left out of breath some moments.

First Rose you’re not alone, and Adrian will always be with you just wish you loved him a little more, cause he deserves some happiness.

Lissa relationship with Christian sufer during this book after they’re break on the #4, and is a little strange to me watch them grow apart like they’ve never seen each other. That part I don’t really like. But I enjoy when they get together to help Dimitri and Rose.

In this book they are back to the court and the politics rule this part of the series along with romance and drama.

The end is a cliffhanger to final one, and since this serie is already finished I was fine with it, but if I had to with, lets just say it would be difficult.

You Might Enjoy This Book If:

You’ve read the other books on this series and can’t wait to see what will happen to Rose and Lissa, and of course Adrian.

Favorite Quotes:

“He has no right to threaten my boyfriends. I’m eighteen. An adult. I don’t need his help. I can threaten my boyfriends myself.”

“I’ve given up on you…Love fades. Mine has.”

“Don’t touch her,” he growled.
There was a note in his voice that would of scared me if it had been directed toward me. He shoved me behind him, putting his body protectively in front of mine with my back to the table. Guardians came at us from all directions,and Dimitri began dispatching them with the same deadly grace that had once made people call him a god.”

“Most fathers don’t threaten to disembowel their daughter’s boyfriends.”
“That’s not true. And anyway, that’s not what I actually said. It was much worse.”

“You’re beautiful in battle,” said Dimitri. His cold voice carried to me clearly, even above the roar of combat. “Like an avenging angel come to deliver the justice of heaven.”
“Funny,” I said, shifting my hold on the stake. “That is kind of why I’m here.”
“Angels fall, Rose.”

Why I Started This Book:

Summary:

Rose Hathaway has always played by her own rules. She broke the law when she ran away from St. Vladimir’s Academy with her best friend and last surviving Dragomir princess, Lissa. She broke the law when she fell in love with her gorgeous, off-limits instructor, Dimitri. And she dared to defy Queen Tatiana, leader of the Moroi world, risking her life and reputation to protect generations of dhampir guardians to come.

Now the law has finally caught up with Rose–for a crime she didn’t even commit. She’s in prison for the highest offense imaginable: the assassination of a monarch. She’ll need help from both Dimitri and Adrian to find the one living person who can stall her execution and force the Moroi elite to acknowledge a shocking new candidate for the royal throne: Vasilisa Dragomir.

But the clock on Rose’s life is running out. Rose knows in her heart the world of the dead wants her back . . . and this time she is truly out of second chances. The big question is, when your whole life is about saving others, who will save you?

Caracters:

My Thoughts:

‘Last Sacrifice‘ is the last book in an amazing series, which has, to be honest, left me feeling a little depressed that it’s all over. I loved this book, is the last one, and I’ll miss this serie, especially Rose.

You Might Enjoy This Book If:

Is a series so I recommend the reading of the others first five books. This one is a series finale.

Favorite Quotes:

“Ah, my daughter,ʺ he said. ʺEighteen, and already youʹve been accused of murder, aided felons, and acquired a death count higher than most guardians will ever see.ʺ He paused. ʺI couldnʹt be prouder.”

“I don’t belong to anyone. I make my own choices.”
“And you’re with Adrian,” said Dimitri.
“But I was meant for you.”

“From behind Lissa, I heard Christian say, “Worst. Timing. Ever.” Adrian studied Lissa and then looked at Christain sprawling on the bed on the far side of the suite.
“Huh,” Adrian said, letting himself in. “So that’s how you’re going to fix the family problem. Little Dragomirs. Good idea.” Christian sat up and strolled toward them.
“Yeah, that’s exactly it. You’re interrupting official Council business.”

Why I Started This Book:

Summary:

Rose Hathaway’s life will never be the same.

The recent attack on St. Vladimir’s Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. Many are dead. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse. A rare tattoo now adorns Rose’s neck, a mark that says she’s killed far too many Strigoi to count. But only one victim matters . . . Dimitri Belikov. Rose must now choose one of two very different paths: honoring her life’s vow to protect Lissa—her best friend and the last surviving Dragomir princess—or, dropping out of the Academy to strike out on her own and hunt down the man she loves. She’ll have to go to the ends of the earth to find Dimitri and keep the promise he begged her to make. But the question is, when the time comes, will he want to be saved?

Now, with everything at stake—and worlds away from St. Vladimir’s and her unguarded, vulnerable, and newly rebellious best friend—can Rose find the strength to destroy Dimitri? Or, will she sacrifice herself for a chance at eternal love?

Caracters:

My Thoughts:

In one sentence: Lissa is nothing without Rose.

So far this is my favorite book on the series, and I love they the caracters are growing.

This book continues where Shadow Kiss left, with Rose living St. Vladimir after her birthday and going after Dimitri to end his misery.

Rose discover lots of things on her travel. First there’s a new caracter, Sydney Sage, an alquimist, who is responsible to clean after the guardians (news to Rose and us). Second there’s Abe Mazur, he dresses like a pimp or mob, and nobody really nows why he shows, but everything is explained in the end.

Rose’s live in Russia is not what I would expect. Dimitri wants to turn her into a Strigoi like him so they con live together. But one reason that stop her is Lissa. Things happen really fast after she realize that Lissa needs her and return to St. Vladimir is the only way. So she tries to escape, and thinks Dimitri is dead after their fight. But when she receives a note with a D as only signature, she knows he’s after her.

I think that’s one reason why I like this series, the author give us explanaitions about the story and past that lead the caracters now.

Lissa continues on school but is heartbroken after Rose left, and when a new person show up and they became friends, it shows to me at least that Rose suffers more than her, for their time apart. Avery Lazar is royalty like Lissa and they have interesting things in commun, but I still don’t like the who weak she is.

You Might Enjoy This Book If:

You’ve read the other three on this series and can’t wait to know if Rose will be able to fight with her love again.

Favorite Quotes:

“I’d said it before and meant it: Alive or undead, the love of my life was a badass.”

“I know how devastated you must be to miss me, but leave a message, and I’ll try to ease your agony”

“You forgot another lesson: Never turn your back until you know your enemy is dead. Looks like we’ll have to go over the lesson again the next time I see you—which will be soon.
Love, D.”

“You’ve asked me out tons of times.”
“Not really. I’ve made inappropriate suggestions and frequently pushed for nudity. But I’ve never asked you out on a real date.”

Why I Started This Book:

Summary:

Is Rose’s fate to kill the person she loves most? It’s springtime at St. Vladimir’s Academy, and Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation. Since Mason’s death, Rose hasn’t been feeling quite right. She has dark flashbacks in the middle of practice, can’t concentrate in class, and has terrifying dreams about Lissa. But Rose has an even bigger secret …. She’s in love with Dimitri. And this time, it’s way more than a crush. Then Strigoi target the academy in the deadliest attack in Moroi history, and Dimitri is taken. Rose must protect Lissa at all costs, but keeping her best friend safe could mean losing Dimitri forever…

Caracters:

My Thoughts:

Is the third book in Vampire Academy series. I loved the action scenes, romantic ones but the end keep me hanging for the next one.

We discover on this book that Rose/Lisa bond is not a easy thing on them. Rose start having problems with humor, not that she had a great one from the beginning.

Rose start to keep secrets from Lisa and this part I didn’t like, but understad why she does it(she has a fierce protection for her friend). She has battles of her on, by seeying dead people and felling when strigoi are near by. Deal with the lost off a friend is difficult, but seeying him, makes it harder.

I still think Lisa is imature, and the end of this book shows exactually what I think, she doesn’t know Rose’s relationship with Dimitri, especially because she only cares about herself. Lisa’s attitude shows that she is selfish and out of control with her emotions. Christian is still with her, and helps a lot Lisa.

Rose and Christian fight in the big battle that happens on the school, making their friendship a bit better.

Dimitri shows more fellings towards Rose, making it difficult to live without each other.

You Might Enjoy This Book If:

You liked the first one and the second one, is series so is recommended read #2 before the #3.

Favorite Quotes:

“You will lose what you value most, so treasure it while you can.”

“What’s up?” I asked.
You tell me,” he (Christian) said. “You were the one about ready to start making out with Adrian.”
It was an experiment,” I said. “It was part of my therapy.”
What the hell kind of therapy are you in?”

“He stepped back and threw his arms out.
“I’m always crazy around you Rose. Here, I’m going to write an impromptu poem for you.”
He tipped his head back and shouted to the sky:
“Rose is in red
But never in blue
Sharp as a thron
Fights like one too.”

Why I Started This Book:

Summary:

Rose loves Dimitri, Dimitri might love Tasha, and Mason would die to be with Rose…
It’s winter break at St. Vladimir’s, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy’s crawling with Guardians—including Rose’s hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if hand-to-hand combat with her mom wasn’t bad enough, Rose’s tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason’s got a huge crush on her, and Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa’s head while she’s making out with her boyfriend, Christian! The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy’s not taking any risks… This year, St. Vlad’s annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.
But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only create the illusion of safety. When three friends run away in an offensive move against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. But heroism rarely comes without a price…

Caracters:

My Thoughts:

Frostbite is the second book in Richelle Meads’ Vampire Academy series and it is just as good as the first.

We can she how Rose grows on this book, especially when she loses a close friend and consider herself guilty for his death. Dimitri shows a different side of him, more friendly towards Rose and their ‘friendship’.

We also see Rose’s mother Janine and understand more why she chose to raise Rose that way. And why Rose fells like she’d been abandoned by her mother. It’s a choice: career or family. One that Rose has already made by being Lisa’s guardian.

On the side there is Lisa and Christian relationship evolution, especially with some steamy scenes. They grow up alone and I can understand that they see each other like a soul mate.

You Might Enjoy This Book If:

You liked the first one, is series so is recommended read #1 before the #2.

Favorite Quotes:

“You can’t force love, I realized. It’s there or it isn’t. If it’s not there, you’ve got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you’ve got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.”

“what’s your name?”
what?” i asked, squinting at the light.
your name.” I reconized Dr. Olendzki peering over me.
you know my name.”
I want you to tell me.”
Rose. Rose Hathaway.”
Do you know your birthday?”
Of course I do. Why are you asking me such stupid things? Did you lose my records?”
Dr. Olendzki gave an exasperated sigh and walked off, taking the annoying light with her. “I think she’s fine,”

“You know what would help?” I asked, not meeting his eyes.
“Hmm?”
“If you turned off this crap music and put on something that came out after the Berlin Wall went down.”
Dimitri laughted. “Your worst class is history, yet somehow, you know everything about Eastern Europe.”
“Hey, gotta have material for my jokes, Comrade.” Still smiling, he turned the radio dail. To a country station.
“Hey! This isn’t what I had in mind,” I exclaimed. I could tell he was on the verge of laughing again.
“Pick. It’s one or the other.”
I sighed. “Go back to the 1980s stuff.”
He flipped the dail, and I crossed my arms over my chest as some vaguely European-sounding band sang about how video had killed the radio star. I wished someone would kill this radio.”

“Not into older guys, huh?” asked Adrian once we were alone.
“You’re imagining things,” I said. “Clearly, my stunning beauty has clouded your mind.”

“Belikov is a sick, evil man who should be thrown into a pit of rabid vipers for the great offense he commited against you this morning.”
“Thank you.” I said primly. Then, I considered. “Can vipers be rabid?”
“I don’t see why not. Everything can be. I think. Canadian geese might be worse than vipers, though.”
“Canadian geese are deadlier than vipers?”
“You ever try to feed those little bastards? They’re vicious. You get thrown to vipers, you die quickly. But the geese? That’ll go on for days. More suffering.”
“Wow. I don’t know whether I should be impressed or frightened that you’ve thought about all of this.”
