They are amazing! They give us the most important information! A spirit user they knew named Robert claimed that he restored a Strigoi!

Also, Robert is Victor's brother! But one thing could, I realized. And there was only one way to achieve that. We were going to have to break Victor Dashkov out of prison. Rose agrees to date Adrian not that I blame her but she is going to hurt my baby! How can I not? He is awesome!! End of story, Rose. Besides, you certainly keep your share of secrets too. You two have a lot in common.

He's arrogant, sarcastic, likes to intimidate people, and—oh. Maybe she had a point. Zmey junior. Zmeyette, even. With an evil creature of the night! View all 8 comments.

Shelves: urban-fantasy , why-the-hype , ya , Needless to say, she finds him, but I will not go into any more detail to avoid spoilers.

I hate to say it, but I am fairly disappointment by this book. In my opinion, it is so far the weakest in the series. It is by no means the worst book ever written, but the fact that Richelle Mead didn't p "Shadow Kiss" left us with Rose on the way to find and kill her beloved Dimitri who had fallen during a fight with Strigoi.

It is by no means the worst book ever written, but the fact that Richelle Mead didn't put much work into it is obvious.

Let me start with the positives however. Upon finishing the book I am slightly less devastated than after reading "Shadow Kiss," so here is an improvement. Some action sequences are pretty good. Unfortunately, that's about it for the good stuff.

On the negative side, the book really suffers from separation of Rose and Lissa. In this book Mead attempts to have two story lines going simultaneously - Lissa's and Rose's, but neither of them is particularly exciting. Plus, because the series is written from Rose's POV, the difficulty of relaying Lissa's story is solved by utilizing Rose's spirit-bond ability to get into Lissa's thoughts.

What doesn't work however is that somehow Rose can not only see what's going on with Lissa at the moment, but she can also "rewind" her experiences and thoughts. This seems like a pretty poor plot device in my opinion.

Plus, Lissa's story is rather lame and takes away too much from the final altercation between Rose and Dimitri - the best part of the book.

The familiar characters we met in first 3 books - Christian, Mia, Eddie, even Victor Dashkov are amiss. Instead we are introduced to an array of new characters both in U. Mead also relies very heavily on flashbacks and memories of Dimitri that were never mentioned in previous books and at some point I started wondering, do I really want to know this much about Dimitri?

I already love him and adding info like "he bakes bread for himself because he loves it so much" is not really necessary, in fact it almost kills the mystery around his persona. What else? The story drags in some parts, the "spirit battle" is too confusing, quite a few inconsistencies. Overall, just a lazily written book IMO. I think when the series is finished and we look back at "Blood Promise" we will think that this book could have been easily omitted. Maybe I will feel differently about "Blood Promise" when I re-read it, but as this point I am rather saddened by it View all 87 comments.

To view it, click here. The third book of the vampire academy series left all of us hanging. All of us wanting more. Blood promise is everything i could have hoped for. It made me cry. And laugh. And sometimes both.

It threw our hope away, then brought it back at the last moment. It was truly a great book. Rose meets her father, unknowingly at first. We actually see emotion from her mother. We see Adrians true dedication to rose, and how much he honestly ca The third book of the vampire academy series left all of us hanging. We see Adrians true dedication to rose, and how much he honestly cares.

The story also included a few flash backs with Dimitri that were not in any of the other books. In this last book, rose definetly became more mature. She made heartbreaking decisions. But hope still hangs on a thread. I absoluletly loved this book. Richelle Mead is truly an amazing writer. She managed to make this book perfect, and it was never corny. The only part i regret, is that her fifth book, spirit bound won't be out until May 18 There is suppose to be one other book after spirit bound and possibly a spin off i read on her site.

I would defienely recomend reading blood promise. But of course if you read the 4th book, you can't wait to read this book.

Setting the stage is one thing, dragging things out to artificially create tension and mood is another. I rounded up to 4 stars because I was genuinely surprised by some of the revelations. I'm told I might be dense though so it's very possible these things might become clear sooner to other readers. I try not to think too hard when I'm reading for entertainment so this might just mean I'm easier to surprise.

It's hard to talk about this book without spoiling what happens in the previous one, so stop reading if you haven't read Shadow Kiss yet! First off, I love the new Dimitri. I was hoping Adrian would get his chance with Rose after Dimitri was turned because I honestly never felt that Dimitri and Rose were a real couple.

She had a sad case of hero-worship and he was just kind of lame and blah. And if I have to hear her describe him as a god one more time, so help me I like him evil like I liked Angel as Angelus in Buffy. I can't help but compare the two characters, and it's a comparison that I'm not upset about. Dimitri finally has some personality! He doesn't just feel like a broody man that Rose has put up on a pedestal. I like my men broody, but not mopey and broody which is the vibe I got from Dimitri in the beginning.

Now he feels REAL, and he has some life to him. Which is sort of ironic, huh? Maybe evil characters are just more fun to write? Abe is definitely going to be an important player and one that I hope to see in the next novel. I thought the Belikovs were interesting but It was kind of a weird side quest that Rose went on, and I understand the purpose it served, but still, kind of pointless. Same with Sydney and her whole situation; it really felt like that was all thrown in at the last minute.

Also, I was annoyed with all the trips Rose took into Lissa's head ; it was a poor plot device and one that had just recently shown up in Succubus Shadows too, so I wasn't all that thrilled to see it repeated again. Plus, it was way too coincidental that every time Rose was listening in, her friends would be talking about her. It was all just too convenient. The same thing happened with Georgina too and it feels like Mead is having trouble lately fleshing out a completely new story; she keeps choosing to backtrack instead.

I think she's getting dangerously in need of a new editor. It makes me mad that Rose decides to finally throw Adrian a bone, but with the way things ended you know she's just going to toss him aside for her quest. He's the victim in all of this. Poor guy. Other people have said that this book really doesn't move the main plot along and we're basically right back at the end of Shadow Kiss. But, that's not all together true.

Sure, not much has changed in the grand scheme of things, but Rose has new friends, new knowledge, and hopefully a new outlook on what's to come. I don't think she could have gotten to where she is at the end of this book if she hadn't gone through the events of this book. But one more thing: a hedge maze?

So much happens in these books that I use my reviews as reminds so lots of Spoilers!!!

Sydney is an Alchemist who helps Rose find Dimitri's family. Rose starts living with Dimitri's mom, grandma, and 3 sisters. They didn't know Dimitri was turned Strigoi.

Rose of course tells 5 Forgotten Lessons Stars Spoilers!!! Rose of course tells them. They hold an memorial in his honor, and treat Rose like his widow.

Rose ends up staying longer with the Belikovs than she planned because she loves them and feels closer to Dimitri being in his childhood home. Abe tries to get her to go back home, lying and telling her he was hired to find her and get her home. Really he is her father and he wants her safe. She doesn't find that out until the end of the book. Rose gets in a fight with Dimitri's youngest sister and ends up leaving.

She hunts Dimitri down. Dimitri knocks Rose out and holds her prisoner telling her that he wants to turn her Strigoi by choice. Dimitri trying to talk Rose into becoming Strigoi by keeps Rose high on vampire bites and making out with her telling her they could be together forever. Rose ends up staking Dimitri with a chair leg, escaping the compound he was holding her at. Dimitri catches up with her and she ends up staking him with a silver stake.

He falls off a bridge into a river. She believes him dead. She gets ahold of Abe, who picks her up and gets her help as she was badly hurt fighting Dimitri and other Strigoi that lived at the compound. The woman that Abe gets to heal Rose is also a spirit user.

Her name is Oksana and her bonded husband is Mark. When getting healed, Rose slips into Lissa's head and realizes that Lissa is in trouble from another Spirit user name Avery. Avery is trying to kill Lissa and bond her to her. Rose with the help of Oksana and Adrian are able to save Lissa from where she is in Russia.

Also while getting healed she learns there are rumors that a Stigoi can be healed by a spirit user. She is sad that Dimitri is dead and can't be healed if the rumors are even true. Rose with the help of Abe goes back to the Academy. She re-enrolls in school and promises her mom and Lissa she will finish this time. She also tells Adrian that she will start dating him.

At the very end of the book Rose gets a letter from Russia. It's from Dimitri telling Rose she forgot the lesson of making sure the Strigoi is dead. In the letter he sends her the stake she staked him with and tells her he is coming for her.

My thoughts: This book is so good. My heart hurts for Rose so much. Rose does a lot of remembering of the good ol days in this book, so I got to get a deeper look at Rose and Dimitri's relationship. I loved Dimitri's family I could see why Rose would want to stay with them.

A big part of the book was Rose while being held captive by Dimitri and my heart broke with Rose's. I too felt like Dimitri still had good in him and I don't know if I could have staked the man I loved. I felt bad for Lissa and Christian. When Christian broke up with Lissa I almost cried. I know Lissa couldn't help the things she was doing because Avery was controlling her with spirit but I hurt more for Christian. I really like Adrian too but I don't want him with Rose.

Sorry I just think it's too soon, especially after finding out Dimitri is still alive and can be saved. I can't wait to get my hands on the next Book!!!

Nov 10, Stacia the club rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , made-me-emotional , urban-fantasy , young-adult , vampires , favorite-book-guys , made-me-laugh. The time has come. It doesn't matter that I read this book forever and a day ago.

Blood Promise deserves a review - one that I wrongfully neglected to give at the time of finishing. The 5 star rating at the top says nothing about why I loved this book back then, nor does it say why I still think about this story even now. I doubt I'll ever go back and write reviews for the rest of the series but this book Don't expect one of my normal polished reviews. I just wanted to finally The time has come. I just wanted to finally put some random thoughts down about one of my all time favorite books.

So why was a middle-of-the-series book my favorite? Two words : Primal Dimitri. I can't honestly say more outside of spoiler tags. If you haven't read up through at least book 3, you absolutely don't want to look or you'll have the biggest plot surprise spoiled, and this is one thing you really don't want to have spoiled. Someone spoiled it for me and I missed out on getting to experience the crazy shock of book 3's ending.

Run away from the scary killer man, blah, blah, blah. But go with me on this : I loved Dimitri's character pre-transformation. He was honorable, loyal, strong, brave, etc.

But he was tormented by his good character. It was part of what made him such an admiral person. I felt like he was able to look past Rose's age because she was more of a peer to him than a student. Anyway, I'm not going to debate whether or not he should have even gone there because I know some people disapproved with good reason. So when he was turned and he lost part of himself, it was intriguing to watch his honor get kicked to the side in favor of satisfying raw need. He didn't fully understand why he wanted Rose, he just knew that she was what he wanted In any other book, I would have been flying the "abuse is wrong" flag His complete character change worked because it was such a contrast to who he really was as a person.

It felt like some of his subconscious desires that had been there all along were made manifest in his new Strigoi persona. I can't wait for this because I felt like it was the one part of book 4 which we didn't get to see closure on. Dear Dimka, If it doesn't work out with Rose, you have my number.

Call me. Love, A person who will still be thinking about you after everyone else has moved on to the next flavor of the week. What do I think of Rose, however, that is a question I had to find an answer to, not only what I thought of Rose, but Dimitri and Adrian Characters that I simply cannot get enough of and characters that are having an impact on me everyti Another re-read that's gripped me throughout, I'm absolutely loving reliving this journey!

Characters that I simply cannot get enough of and characters that are having an impact on me everytime I see their name!!! Rose, I love her! No other words for it, I adore her, admire her and I've cried mountains for her She is wonderful, hot headed, irrational and a dam good friend to have.

Rose went through emotions that toyed with my heart consistently throughout this book. I cried for her, I shouted for her, yelled at her, rolled my eyes at her but - I loved her, every step of the way I loved her. Richelle Mead!!! You have taken a character that I burned for, yearned for, craved for and loved for Rose and made me want to hold that silver stake myself!!!

I could, of course, use a few lessons first, but by God I would sweat a few pounds to get rid of Dimitri That's how I feel at the moment and I'm not happy about it!!! Adrian, I liked him, I didn't I trusted him, I didn't I am all for him!!! Go write that essay to say why you could be Rose's suitor Adrian and do a good job I'm rooting for you lad!!!! The book has twisted and turned throughout the pages, throughout the chapters and yet, still, it ended with a shock!!! Rose discovering a few secrets, that sprung tears to my eyes, and then having something handed to her that will twist her future!

I am really hoping that my heart can hold out during the next book!!! I LOVE this series!!! View all 29 comments. I'm still trying to get over the major twist at the ending which I was kind of expecting but I didn't know that it would be that big. The one thing that I didn't like with this book was that Lissa was kind of "whiny.

Vladimir Academy. I was excited to read this since it might had some more action, which it did, but it wasn't enough to out way Lissa. At the end of the 3rd book, I was d 4. At the end of the 3rd book, I was disappointed in Lissa and it got even worse in this book. She did get better toward the end which was good. Another thing I didn't like was about Christian and his relationship with Lissa.

I know that Lissa was changing because of the magic, but still. Give her a break and work through it. I thought that he was being a little dramatic. Rose is still my favorite character, especially since she is going through many hardships and emotional and physical turmoil. I can't wait to see how she is in the next book. There were many sad parts in this book and I had to look away to calm myself so I wouldn't start crying.

I was really upset about Dmitri since I liked him and that ending! I hope that he's going to be alright. There was a cliffhanger at the end of Blood Promise but it was a good kind because come on, what else is the 5th book going to be about?

I'm about to find out and I'm very happy to. I'm about to cry right now View 2 comments. There is no doubt that this book is my favorite from this series. Dimitri was a badass! He was so hot! And bad Dimitri I was actually drooling. Oh my God. Such a wicked woman.

She was so funny in her own serious way. And Mark and Oksana made this book even better. I kind of loved this couple because they gave me the impression of a power couple. They left aside the rules and started a life together no matter what people said or what the rules imply. I love this series! Even after 7 years, I love it! More than any other series.

View all 5 comments. The same hands that wielded stakes with such precision would carefully brush the hair out of my face. The eyes that could astutely spot any danger in the area would regard me wonderingly and worshipfully, like I was the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world. I don't thin 4. I don't think any of the Vampire Academy books are bad.

Sure it was a bit slower and didn't have a lot of action. I still loved and enjoyed it just the same. Rose has dropped out of school and leaves Lissa and her whole life behind her. Rose is on a mission to find Dimitri the love of her life and to kill him because he was turned into a Strigoi.

She ends up meeting a human girl named Sydney Sage who is an Alchemist. Rose has no idea what the hell Sydney is talking about. So they go to a restaurant were Sydney enplanes that the alchemists are humans that are charged with helping the Moroi and Dhampirs with keeping their existence a secret from mankind.

The alchemists are also given a golden lily tattoos on the side of the face that id charmed with earth and water elements. Their charmed tattoo allow them to live longer lives and it stops them from becoming ill.

It also stop them from speaking about the supernatural world. Anyways Sydney is soon tasked with the duty of getting Rose to the town she's been looking for by her superiors. Along the way Strigoi come. Rose fights them off with the help of her ghost friends.

But its so overwhelming she blacks out. Long story short when she wakes up again she has reached Baia, Russia and to her surprise she is in the house Dimitri grew up in and his mother Olena is there. Rose meets the whole family and she also breaks the news to them that Dimitri is a Strigoi. They all embrace Rose like she's family. Rose ends up staying with his family for some time. Rose also meets another shadow kissed bounded couple. She meets a man that's a Moroi and his name is Abe Mazur.

He is a very powerful and wealthy Moroi and he's also kinda scary. Finally he does Rose a favor so that she'll leave Baia. Only instead of going home she meets up with the other un-promised to hunt down, torture and kills Strigoi in the city. She gives one a message to take back to Dimitri that she's here and looking for him. Dimitri comes and captures her. She basically becomes his blood whore before coming to her senses and escapes.

He goes after her. Rose stakes him in the heart on a bridge. Its all very emotional. Richelle Mead really knows how to pull at the heartstrings. Just read the book, you won't regret it. Mar 22, Kat Kennedy rated it really liked it Shelves: kat-s-book-reviews. The plot was painfully, agonizingly slow with many, many unnecessary characters and plotlines that just bugged the hell out of me.

I found myself skipping large portions of text to get to anything worth reading. The last quarter of this book however, earned that last two stars. It was intense, amazing, beautiful. I almost cried. I wanted to cry. What happened at the end
