Book Review: Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead

Hello everyone. And welcome to the last Book Review for Vampire Academy (For Rose and Dimitri's epic love story, that is.) I am so excited to show you the book trailer I didn't even know existed. Where have I been? you might ask. Well let's just say, I righted my wrong and am now up to date.



Would you cast these actors for the upcoming Vampire Academy Movie? Why or why not? I want to know. So don't forget to comment.



Now, to the book review:

Rose Hathaway, is locked in Moroi jail after being framed in the cold-blooded murder of the Moroi Queen. The punishment for this crime is immediate execution. At the same time, she is faced with the challenge of somehow locating princess Lissa Dragomir's lone remaining relative, her secretly existing illegitimate sibling. Murder. Love. Jealousy. And the ultimate sacrifice. Now, with Rose on trial for her life and Lissa first in line for the Royal Throne, nothing will ever be the same between them.

Book Review:I've never been more terrified and elated to read the last book in a book series as I was with Vampire Academy. To know that once I finish the last page, I would no longer be filled with glorious, gut wrenthing anticipation for the next chapter in Rose and Dimitri's epic love story. But all good things must come to an end.

Richelle Mead did a fantastic job really bringing her main character, Rose, full circle with Dimiitri, Rose's love interest. Spirit Bound, the 5th book in the series, left the readers hanging with Dimitri's character in anguish over his feeling for Rose, his renewed transfromation, and his loyalty in question. So, with Last Sacrifice, Mead, had no choice but to tie up some pretty big loose ends. And I love her for that. Note: Some loose ends in this book are for the spin off I heard..Yay, spinoff!

Her game in the beginning was to get Rose out of the pickle she was in, in a very action packed, conspiracy kind of way, that really set the tone for the rest of the book, only to shove Rose right into that romantic pickle, we as readers couldn't wait to devour. When I say romantic pickle, I am talking Rose, Dimitri...and Adrian. Yes, a delicious, mouth watering, and crunchy pickle it was.

Then of course, there were some ends that had me saying, what? ...to easy. But it is what it is and I had a great time with it anyway.

Here is what I am getting at. I could not, would not, put the book down. I have never loved a book series so much to almost tear up. And as for the movie that is in slow motion at the moment, well it needs to get made pronto. I want others to know and love Rose and Dimitri's story and I do.

LOVED IT!

Book Cover To Vampire Acadamy's 6th book, Last Sacrifice, has arrived!!

Finally! It's here, the cover to Richelle Mead's 6th and final book from the Vampire Academy Series.



Release date is December 7, 2010!!! (Note, RM's website said Dec. 14, but recently read book release was moved up a week.)

This book better end up tying all the lose ends in Dimitri and Rose's relationship; I have super high hopes for D and R. At the moment, I am sooo traumatized because of Spirit Bound :)

As for any spin-offs, I predict Adrian will have his own or at least be a big player in the next series because he has grown up so much in Spirit Bound and is such a lovable character, everyone wants him to be happy, just not with Rose. That's Dimitri's territory.

As for who Adrian ends up with, it will have to be in the next series assuming Richelle Mead isn't taking the 6th's book title literally. I mean that Rose better not even sacrifice her true love for Dimitri(who's in the middle of pity party) to be with Adrian, who is so loving and understanding, no offense to Team Adrian fans out there. I would not be able to comprehend that ending if it happens (crossing fingers). Nevertheless, as devoted fans of Vampire Academy, we would need closure for Adrian because he is such a big character, he'd have to appear in the next series.

I am so happy and very surprised that I only have to wait 5 months before Last Sacrifice hits stores. Isn't it usually a year before the next book comes out? It feels like that anyway when playing the waiting game for the next book.
