It's finally out, well, it's been out for a while but I finally have time to review it! This book was fascinating so fascinating that I stayed up until 2:39 in the morning to read it when I had to get up early for G-Fit the next day. My only problem with this book was that it felt rushed. There was such a lead up to the big fights and they lasted for like one page, it was rather disappointing. If she had to, I'd prefer if she wrote another book instead of trying to shove everything into a small amount of pages. I know the covers for both series look bad, but the books are both amazing! 
I'd give Ruby Circle 8/10 stars because of that. This is because of the rushed feeling of the story. Yet still I highly recommend reading both Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series because they're spunky, hilarious, fun and action filled reads. 
I still prefer Vampire Academy to Bloodlines. That series was far more interesting and I could connect to the characters easier. To all you Lissa haters out there? Shut up. I love her, she's a great character and is trying to do what she thinks is best for her country. 
I haven't read any of these books since summer, so I seriously forgot how much I loved the Vampire Academy world. 
Here's the synopsis: 
The epic conclusion to Richelle Mead's New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series is finally here...

Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets—and human lives.

After their secret romance is exposed, Sydney and Adrian find themselves facing the wrath of both the Alchemists and the Moroi in this electrifying conclusion to Richelle Mead’s New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series. When the life of someone they both love is put on the line, Sydney risks everything to hunt down a deadly former nemesis. Meanwhile, Adrian becomes enmeshed in a puzzle that could hold the key to a shocking secret about spirit magic, a secret that could shake the entire Moroi world.



SPOILERS BELOW FOR RUBY CIRCLE


Okay, idk about you guys, but I figured out pretty quickly that it was Alicia, actually, I had a suspicion about it since the last book. Alicia or the alchemists but they were excluded from that list when magic was involved. 
I've missed Christian, like I wished he and Lissa had a larger part in this series. I liked that Rose and Dimitri had a part in this book, I just wish it were larger. Did any of you guys here Richelle might go back and write another series with Rose? I think that'd be great. The whole story with Olive and Neal was great but it was so sad when Olive died. I get why they didn't inform Dimitri and Rose about the baby thing, but I wish they would've told them. 
I'm pretty sure that Richelle is going to write another series in this world based around these characters. Why? Because there were so many loose ends at the end of this book. If it was really the end, Richelle would've tied them up... right? 
I was also really annoyed with Adrian. I did find Nina insufferably annoying in the last book but I still felt really bad for her in this book. And when Adrian was willing to risk her sanity for his own benefit, it got me supremely pissed off. Like I wanted to punch that Moroi in the face. 
Adrian and Dimitri are related? PLOT TWIST. Did any of y'all see that one coming? I, for one, did not. How do you guys feel about that? I think it's cool, but it doesn't really change the story... at all. 
I have no idea why, but whenever I read about Trey, I'm always reminded of Travis from Pivot Point. Maybe because both their names start with T? Do they have similar characteristics? A little I guess. I guess I imagined them to look similar, too. 
As I mentioned before, I was very disappointed by the fight scenes. Everything with Alicia came out too easy. Like the fight wasn't all that intense anyway. I wish it was better but whatever. 
What really pissed me off was that RICHELLE BROUGHT BACK ROSE AND DIMITRI JUST TO BE BACKGROUND CHARACTERS, I mean, seriously? Was anyone else supremely disappointed about that? 
The line "I was waiting for Christian to call me, actually." Gave me so many... Listian? Cissa? feels. 
About the loose ends thing, will Richelle's next series have anything to do with the other captured Moroi? I noticed Richelle never gave the name of him/her. So, who is it? I really want to know, authors don't just randomly put that type of thing in there. 
Ugh, Neil, I get that you were trying to be the good father or something but DON'T LEAVE DECLAN! HE'S YOUR SON! UGh. He needs to come raise his son. 
This pissed me off more than it should but Rose lied to Lissa about about Declan. Ugh. She lied to her best friend. You're not supposed to do that. 

Okay so this series is a spin-off series of Vampire Academy so if you haven't read Vampire Academy there are spoilers below. 
So this is one of those spin offs that don't do better than the original. I LIKE this series but I don't love it. Bloodlines and The Golden Lily were pretty boring to be honest, I literally hated Bloodlines. Sydney never really interested me much so really the only reason I started reading this series was for Adrian. All together I would rate this series a 7/10, not my favorite. I never was a big fan of Jill either and seriously even though these books started because of her she's hardly in them after the first book. Like really, if you're going to write a story based off of the fact Jill needs to be protected then at least keep Jill in the story. I lied before I didn't just read this book for Adrian, I read it to see how Lissa, Christian, Rose and the gang was doing. 
Here's the synopsis for Bloodlines 

Blood doesn't lie...

Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning.

Mmm, Bloodlines like I said before was actually really boring, it only starts getting better around Indigo Spell, in my opinion. So if you haven't read this series yet you should read it before you read the spoiler-y section because I do not want to spoiler you, so byeeee. 
Actually you could still read this review you probably wouldn't really get it and you'd just be spoiled so there's no point in that. 

SPOILERS FOR BLOODLINES BELOW


So my first question in this book was 'is Keith the reason she owes Abe so much?' Oh look, I was right. Turns out Keith raped her older sister and Sydney had Abe stage an attack and take out Keith's eye. 
When I first heard about some old guy who didn't like the Moroi government I immediately assumed it was Robert, but nope it was Clarence. 
I seriously did only read this to hear about Adrian and the rest of the VA group, I didn't really care at all for Sydney. I was like cheering when Rose came to drop off Jill, yay, we still got to see her. 
When Clarence mentioned Vampire Hunters, I knew there had to be some even after Lee was killed, if an author mentions ANYTHING really it's usually foreshadowing. 
I think we could all figure out Jill was Shadowkissed from the beginning with the conversation Sydney overheard between Abe and Adrian. And I think we all also figured out that Jill was 'hungover' because Adrian had been drinking. 
I loved Adrian's protectiveness over Jill, though I STILL don't know how I feel about Jill (Ugh I just rhymed) I love the protectiveness all the same. 
A note I wrote about half way through the book was 'This is so boring I want to hear about Lissa, Rose, Christian and Adrian. And more Adrian.' because really in the first book there actually ISN'T that much of Adrian we get more of him later on in the series. But even though it was boring I think we can all agree that Keith is an arse.
I was very confused about what the tattoos had to do with this story line, like they kept bringing it up and I could tell they were something important but I couldn't figure out what. 
It was so funny when Adrian would pick on Keith because he knew he hated Vampires. Like "Enter. If. You. Dare." and "O positive, my favorite." I knew that was a joke immediately because Adrian doesn't like his blood unless it's directly from the vein as said by Rose in the Vampire Academy series. 
"I've seen age difference, theirs is nothing." Poor Adrian it was obvious that he was referring to Rose and Dimitri, 
Ugh another thing that annoyed me about this book was that Sydney HATED vampires. I know that's part of the point of these books, her getting over her fear of them and such, but when she was like flipping out about Jill playing with the water magic I was just like What the heck is your problem? 
Okay so I caught on to Lee pretty fast, but I was half wrong in my theory. I thought that Lee was a Vampire Hunter for some weird reason because he was in LA when Sydney came to save Adrian and when that girl got murdered and I was immediately like LEE!!
Another idea I got was when Eddie froze when he saw Micah I was just like Mason? No joke, that was the first thought that popped into my head and I was also partially right because Micah is a 'dead ringer' for Mason.  I wonder if that'll play in in Ruby Circle or if it's just a fact. 
Overall the characters just annoyed me in this book, except for Eddie, even Adrian annoyed me sometimes. I was especially annoyed when Jill had a temper tantrum and ran off with Lee. 
Keith seemed like a suspicious character to me from the beginning, so when she was in the tattoo shop I was like... hmmm.. what if Keith was the one supplying them and killing off the vampires? 
"It takes a lot of tries before you hit perfection. Well, except for my parents, they got it first try." Lol Adrian. 
I thought Keith might have raped Sydney and that's why she hated him so much, but I actually don't remember her ever mentioning she had TWO sisters in VA so I thought Zoe was the one who was only good for Make up which is why I was confused at the beginning on why she wanted to go so badly. 
I didn't even feel that bad about Lee, I was just ecstatic that I was right about him. When Adrian showed up I was practically cheering but then I remembered that he couldn't really fight I always seem to forget that about Adrian. I never came up with the theory that Lee used to be Strigoi and I'm also curious about who turned him back, will that play in later too? 
I was ALMOST cheering when Eddie broke down the door and completely kicked those two strigoi's arses. That was amazing. 
Then I was annoyed at Sydney again because she wouldn't even let Adrian freaking heal her when she was hurt. 
I was so sad for Eddie when Sydney confronted him about liking Jill and he said he wasn't worthy enough of her :( that just made me sad because he'd been through so much of course he worthy of her!
Then Angeline came in and I was just like wow, I was right, she does play a bigger role just not in the VA series. And then Dimitri walks in and I was like the next book is SO going to have some tension in it. 
I would rate this book a 4/10 stars which I think is one of the lowest ratings I've ever given because this book just DID not interest me. 

SPOILERS FOR THE GOLDEN LILY BELOW


So my first thoughts in this book were, where is Ian? Yeah, I actually remembered him from Last Sacrifice and that he was infatuated with Sydney. It was really obvious from the beginning for me that Angeline liked Eddie, though it took Sydney a little longer to figure it out. 
I thought that maybe Trey liked Sydney so there would be a Trey x Sydney x Adrian love triangle nope, he likes Angeline, though, I thought he might like Jill when he was looking at her and like 'I never really noticed her before....'
Ugh and when she's all MAGIC IS SO WRONG IT'S AGAINST THE RULES OF NATURE I was just like Sydney, Shut up, no one cares, just practice your magic like a good little girl. 
"Actually I can imagine a lot of guys into you." Adrian can be so sweet. 
I thought THERE IS SOMETHING UP WITH BRAYDEN because he was just TOO perfect for Sydney, she said 'it was like he read my mind' and that set off a whole number of alerts in my head but it turns out he was just an extraordinarily boring human. When she showed up to the dance in the dress and basically called her a prostitute I was like Oh hell no. Then after their first date Sydney shook his hand I was just laughing so hard. Think about how awkward that would be. 
It was SO obvious that Adrian liked Sydney in this book, he did a lot of stuff for her. 'Adrian would probably cling to Brayden's bumper until he got an introduction' haha just picture Adrian doing that and if that doesn't make you laugh I don't know what will. 
"So far I'm no seeing a lot of difference between me and a carnival con man."
So when a human 'recognized' Sonya I was like OMG they have a family member that she probably killed when she was a stigoi and now they're gonna try and kill her, half right there. 
Sydney just kept annoying me in this book I was about to yell JUST LEARN THE SPELLS ALREADY and that wouldn't really be good since I'd probably wake  up everyone staying in the Lake District. 
By the Angel when Jill was like 'Wow Sydney you look SO pretty today." I was cracking up because it was obvious it was Adrian's emotions but Sydney is just like. "Um.. thanks?" 
After Sydney's meeting with the two warriors of light I was like wait a minute, is CHRIS a warrior of light, and look I was right. DANG IT THAT RHYMED AGAIN. 
Ugh Adrian when Adrian was being a jerk so Sonya when he was protecting Sydney I just wanted to pick something up and throw it at him like SHUT UP. 
Is it totally bad that I wanted Trey to win that fight between him and Chris? 
It was so funny when they're all fighting and yelling GRAB THE ALCHEMIST GIRL. And Sydney is just watching and then she thinks 'The Alchemist Girl. Right. That would be me.'
Wasn't so cute that Adrian knew how to drive stick but just did that to be around Sydney? But then she was a total jerk to him when he confessed his feelings and I was just sitting there like -_-
I would rate this book a 7/10 stars it definitely improved since the last book. 

SPOILERS FOR INDIGO SPELL BELOW


As soon as I heard that Sydney was going to that wedding I was just like I WANT HER TO MEET LISSA AND CHRISTIAN AND ROSE HERE. I got very excited when she SAW Lissa and Christian but very disappointed when she didn't talk to them. Then Finally Ian shows up in the plot, it's like, dude, it took you long enough. 
Okay so the whole thing with Veronica was creepy and when 'she' showed up in Sydney's dream I was like WOAH there back up. Then when Sydney realized she didn't have her cross I was just thinking "Ohhhh, so that's how Veronica found out about her." It was so cute how Adrian gave her a new cross. 
Another thing that seemed obvious to me- Angeline cheating on Eddie with Trey like seriously it was really obvious that they were sneaking around together. 
Mrs. Terwilliger was all like Oh Veronica would never go after me. But I was just thinking I bet you that she's her main target. 
I loved that Sydney finally accepted her magic and started really getting comfortable with the vampires around Palm Springs, IT'S ABOUT TIME. 
Then Adrian and Sydney were parents to the Callistana I was just laughing my head off at that. Also HE'S SO CUTE, a mini dragon who eats and sleeps? I WANT ONE. 
"You should get him some toys." Lol, Jill. 
Then when Hopper wagged his tail my head went all to AWWWWW. Mom, Dad, I want a Callistana for Christmas and one that lasts forever not just for a year. 
That dream between Adrian and Sydney got steamy pretty quickly with all the 'I'm a quick study' lol. 
So when Alicia had that protection pendent on I was just thinning *GASP* IT WAS VERONICA IN DISGUISE. 
Yeah, no just it turns out Alicia was even more of a psycho than Veronica. Then when we met Alicia in Mrs. T's house I was just thinking NOOO she comatosed her! good that she didn't. Dear Raziel, when they didn't find Alicia's remains I thought that meant she was alive, so I had the natural reaction, I freaked out. And then when they were like oh your cousin's in your room, I thought it was Alicia and I was just thinking don't GO IN THERE. But nope it's just Zoe and I can predict from here that she's going to be trouble. 
Remember when Lia took those pictures of Jill? I thought that would come back to bite them but it didn't... 
I would rate this book an 8/10 stars it was pretty good. 

SPOILERS FOR FIERY HEART BELOW


The dual POV was interesting and annoying at the same time. As soon as they mentioned that the cufflinks and how expensive they were I Was like, he's going to sell them. Yep he did. Zoe sounds cute and annoying at the same time, like it's cute how she looks up to Sydney. 
Then we finally hear from Lissa when she's not he phone with Adrian but all the talking to Lissa is really short which disappointed me. 
"I'd just kinda hoped you'd learn it from a real guy." Haha Trey. 
When Adrian sold the cufflinks I thought he wasn't going to get them back but he did, barely. 
... Which is how we ended up kissing and rolling around on the floor again. Haha I'm glad Adrian was able to get over Rose. 
Haha Trey is jealous of Angeline and Neil. 
'It's amazing how nice people can be if they think you're going to die.' one of the best first lines in a chapter I've ever read. 
I was happy when Lissa and Sydney finally talked if even for a brief period of time. 
Treejitsu 😂
I thought Eddie was going to die in that fight against the Stigoi but luckily he didn't, I'm constantly worrying for people's lives here. 
THEN FINALLY EDDIE AND JILL KISS. IT'S ABOUT TIME. 
When Eddie showed up looking ravaged I was like WHO WAS TAKEN JILL OR SYDNEY? 
Yeah I found out it was Sydney as soon as we went to Sydney POV.
I felt bad for Adrian and Sydney but I was happy to hear that Lissa could finally dream walk, lol yeah that's what I was thinking about in this part of the book.  That and in the next book somebody better kick the alchemist's arses. 
8.7/10 stars. 

SPOILERS FOR SILVER SHADOWS BELOW


YES! I just finished this book an hour ago since I was working on my fifth blog all day yesterday. 
My first initial thoughts on this is Why doesn't Sydney pretend to be better so she can get out? which is what she finally decides to do. 
I also felt really bad for Hopper because he was stuck in his gold form until they got Sydney back. 
Okay I already wanted to kill Sydney's history or whatever teacher when he was like Oh yeah obviously the Guardians don't care about us because they aren't out killing strigoi. UH HELLO MOROI NEED PROTECTION AND NO WONDER THEY AREN'T PROTECTING YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE UNGRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING THEY'RE DOING FOR YOU. Then they ACCUSED MOROI OF HELPING THE STRIGOI and I just totally lost my head there. AND THEN they have the nerve to say Moroi aren't strong willed and I was like UH HELLO HAVE YOU MET CHRISTIAN OZERA AND LISSA DRAGOMIR? OH WAIT YOU HAVEN'T BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Yeah didn't tal them insulting the Moroi and Dhampirs very well to say the least. 
I thought it was kinda lame of Adrian to just leave without saying goodbye to anyone but then he went to see Lissa and Rose so it was okay. BUT then he yelled at Lissa and I could SEE Lissa's point so I was mad at Adrian for that. 
I was laughing at Hope when she got told off for being like Oh Sydney is such a horrible person. 
Then Adrian totally humiliated Wesley so I felt very satisfied with that. 
Then it turns out Emma isn't little miss perfect and she helps Sydney out which I really liked because they all ended up teaming together. 
Adrian was really annoying with all his getting drunk and stuff with Nina and then he got pissed at Sonya for saying back off about Nina, but then he got his karma for that when Nina got pissed at him for rejecting her so it's okay. 
He finally got around to trying to contact Sydney and I loved that talk, it was just touching how they FINALLY got to see each other. 
I decided even though Angeline has been pretty annoying in these books that she's better in this book and her and Trey together is really cute. 
Are Marcus and Carly going to be a thing? he seemed to like her when he met her. 
"Idaho's the gem state, not the potato state." Lol
I liked that Marcus and Adrian were working together to save Sydney even though they don't exactly get along. 
When Trey said he was going to go and save Sydney for them I was afraid he was going to die, same will Eddie. 
I'm still curious who that blonde with the glasses was that came around looking Adrian and Sydney was. 
Ugh Duncan was being so annoying when he wouldn't help Adrian and Marcus by telling them what he knew. 
I already guessed that Chantel was probably in the same area where Sydney was and I think she's probably a magic user. 
The whole escaping from the casino was awesome, like the SUV blowing up and all. When they were escaping I was just like Why don't they go to court? The Alchemists would never go there, and eventually they finally do. Then they got married in Las Vegas and it was SO cute. 
Okay Sheridan really got on my nerves in this book, she was so annoying, wasn't she? 
Then I presume the alchemists took Jill, SOMEONE BETTER FREAKING GET HER BACK IN THE NEXT BOOK.

STUPID NAME, GREAT SERIES
So I freaking loved this series, it was amazing. I would rate the whole series all together 9.8/10 stars, yeah it was that good. Okay so this series has one of the most retarded (sorry!) names I've ever heard but it's actually really good. So if you haven't read it go read it. Now. Because it's one of my favorite books and I LOVE this series. 
Here's the synopsis
 
St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger. . . .

Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever
_________________________________________________
That synopsis doesn't actually sound like at all like the book, but just go and read the book, it's good. 
One of the things I loved about this series is that there's no main antagonist besides like the strigoi so you're kinda left with some surprise on who is the main antagonist in the book. My favorite book in the series is Spirit Bound, but my favorite part is the fight scene at the end of Blood Promise. My least favorite book is probably Frost Bite. 
My favorite characters are Adrian, Lissa, Christian and Rose. My one complaint is that the relationships move really fast like how they fall in love way too quickly or make up kinda fast, except for Lissa and Christian's relationship, I thought that was timed well. 
So if you haven't read the book go read it now and come back and read the review, because trust me, you DON'T want to be spoiled in this series. 


SPOILERS FOR VAMPIRE ACADEMY

Okay so sorry if I don't always mention anything in the beginning because I usually forget to take notes until AFTER I start the book. Anyway, I really liked Christian, he has black hair and blue eyes and just like Magnus Bane, it's my favorite combination. 
Dimitri is one of those characters that I don't love but I don't not like (great grammar right?)  Like he's just too... Good and responsible, I prefer the bad boys TBH. Except for Cricket. I loved Cricket. 
All the dead animals was really gross, especially the one on her bed, I would probably pass out if I found a dead animal on my bed. Because 1. I love animals 2. There would be blood all over my bed. 
Mia was a real butt in this book, but in books with High School in them there usually is one. 
"No I think it's hot." Ah I was dying at that, I loved Christian from the beginning. "And what I did to Ralf won't seem like anything." 
It was obvious when Jesse found out that Lissa had been feeding off of Rose that he was going to tell everyone I'm not sure why Rose thought he wouldn't. 
Another thing Christian related that I loved was his relationship with Lissa, since I like both of them I LOVE THEM TOGETHER. They're just such a cute couple. 
It was so obvious that Mason liked Rose, but also obvious it wouldn't work out since she was already sorta into Dimitri, which is sad because Mason is so cute and sweet. 
I did not like it when Rose told Christian that Lissa thought he was creepy, but I knew that was going to happen because.... well... I saw the movie first. A good thing about me watching the movie was when I watched it, it was online and the faces were really blurry so I could imagine the characters however I wanted without the Actor's face in my head. 
I noticed from the start that Lissa had really powerful compulsions, like I've seen The Vampire Diaries, lol, and in that only the Originals can compel other vampires. BTW I like the Originals better than the Vampire Diaries, if any of you are TO or TVD fans, TVD just sorta got too complicated. Plus 
(SPOILER) 
Damon died so yeah I'm still upset about that

(SPOILER OVER)
It was obvious that even though Christian was being an ass to Lissa that he still liked her but he was hurt by what Rose said. 
I thought that it was funny when Dimitri said he beat up his Moroi father. I liked him better after they talked about his dad, but I still didn't like like him, he's just too... serious isn't the right word, but that's the one I'm going to use. I bet Mason is going to die because everyone says that the Covenant Series is a rip off of this one and 
(SPOILERS) 

Caleb dies

(SPOILERS OVER) 

I see the similarities, but I'm going to give Jen the benefit of the doubt and say she hadn't read the Vampire Academy Series while writing the Covenant Series. But we'll get to the comparing those two series in another blog post. 
By the Angel, when Mason protected her when like the other people were all calling Rose a blood whore and slut and stuff I just thought that was SO cute. Then when she said "Tell him I'm sorry" I was like AHAHHHHHHH FEELS. 
The whole thing with Lissa like turning everyone against Mia for Rose, like you could see she had good intentions but it turned her into someone else. Then Christian accused her of faking her feelings for Aaron (which she was) and kissed her and I just can't even describe how I was feeling then. Lissa and Christian are definitely my OTP for this book series. But then Lissa told Christian she hated him and slitted her wrist so that ruined the moment. Just a little. 
'Ralf looked kind of like he wouldn't have minded' 😂 I was laughing so hard at that part. 
When Christian went after Lissa when she ran away from the dance, awwww, but then Christian got whacked in the head and Lissa got captured, they didn't really get a long happy moment really in this book, did they? 
"You're so beautiful it hurts me sometimes." DYING. 
"I'm a stowaway." Haha, Christian. 
The part where they saved Lissa from Victor and then Lissa drank from Rose to heal Christian was one of my favorite scenes in the book. 
"I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you." Even though I don't ship Rose and Dimitri I was STILL crying on the inside about that line. 
Overall I would rate this book a 9.9/10 AMAZING. 


SPOILERS FOR FROSTBITE


Okay to start this out, why in Raziel's name is it called Frost Bite? Like I get all the other names... kinda, except Frost Bite. 
"I figured you'd have taken it and run by now." 😂 When Dimitri pulls out the stake.
It was obvious to everyone, well, me, that Rose's mother really did love her, just in her own tough love way. And it was also obvious that Tasha liked Dimitri, sorry, Dimka, from the beginning too. I liked Tasha in this book, she was fun and nice. 
I thought that even though Lissa and Christian were officially together in this book that Lissa should still find some time to talk to her, I mean, they're best friends and Rose started keeping a lot from Lissa in this book, how she was feeling about Dimitri and all that stuff. I feel like if Rose had talked to Lissa about it she would feel less of a burden. I also get why Rose was jealous of Christian, it's normal, Lissa isn't all hers anymore. 
When Rose got dragged into Lissa's head when her and Christian were about to have sex I was just laughing 'it'd be like loosing my virginity virtually'. 
I was so scared for Mason when he fell on the ski slope, since I had a theory about him dying I was like flipping out, though him dying on the ski slope was pretty unlikely. 
I knew that there was an Adrian in Frost Bite and he'd be the main third point of the love triangle in the series so when that Moroi talked to her about her smell I was like ADRIAN and I was right. 
I think it was  cute when Rose kissed Mason but I felt like she was just using him because she couldn't be with Dimitri, which, to be fair, she was. 
I didn't know Adrian was a Spirit User yet but when they shared a dream I was ecstatic since I already loved Adrian's character. I like Adrian more but it's obvious that Rose is going to choose Dimitri because the protagonist always pick their first love
Clary and Jace
Bella and Edward
Tessa and Will 
Tessa and Jem
Ruby and Liam (IF SHE SOMEHOW ENDS UP WITH CLANCY FREAKING GRAY I AM GOING TO BURN IN THE AFTER LIGHT) 
Alex and Aiden 
Katy and Daemon
June and Day
IDK who Cassie is going to choose but I hope it's Evan unless Ben improves
Percy and Annabeth
Hazel and Frank (I do not count Leo as a first love since that was Sammy)
etc. 
I felt bad for Mia when her parents were killed and it reminded me of when LEA's parents were killed in Halfblood. 
I had a theory on Adrian being a spirit from the minute he started having an interest in talking to Lissa, and I was right. Then he sent Rose perfume and I was just awwwww. 
'Good god. Men everywhere." Lol
"That guy's your dad?" 
"That's what my mom says." 
and THAT is one of the reasons I love Adrian he's hilarious (it was more funny if you actually read it in the book)
I didn't want her to dump Mason when she went to go and break up with him but I didn't want her going out with him because she didn't actually like him, yeah, conflicting emotions. When Mason's roommate said he wasn't there I immediately thought what if he's with Mia? and he was, just not in the way I thought, he, Mia and Eddie had gone to fight Strigoi, like idiots. I predicted from there that Mason was going to die. 
So I was flying to Iceland while reading this book so when I read that Christian was going with Rose I wrote this 'Christian better not freaking die or I will hurl this kindle across this plane and scream' it's good he didn't die because that would be a little awkward to explain. 
"Well, um, you see this fictional boy that I like died in the book I was reading, sorry for making you go to the hospital because my kindle fire hit you in the head, I'm sure that's not what you wanted to do when you came to Iceland." 
When Adrian contacted her through a dream to find her though..
I KNEW Mason wouldn't leave her when she told him to run, even though I knew he was going to die that doesn't mean I wasn't really sad hen he did die. 
I liked Mia and Rose's half friendship, it was cute but it kinda reminded me of Lea and Alex's sorta friendship so I thought Mia would probably die. 
8.5/10 stars 

SPOILERS FOR SHADOW KISS BELOW


She was virtually having sex with Christian again. 😂
So we didn't really know anything about Eddie because he didn't have anything to do with the story line before but now we really meet him in this book and I really liked him. When Rose got Christian to protect I was laughing so hard. 
"Picking out curtains, doing each other's hair, telling ghost stories...." 
Both Christian and Rose are jealous of each other's connection to Lissa which I found kinda funny. And IDK why this is so weirdly spaced, I apologized that I have no idea how to change it back.
"You  did not just say that. I have a feeling we're on the verge of hugging and coming up with nicknames for each other." 
"I already have a nickname for you, but I'll get in trouble if I say it in class." 


____________
"I think you have a promising future as a housewife while Lissa worlds and makes millions of dollars." 
"Funny, exactly my dream." 
____________
I could tell that Christian was jealous of Adrian from the beginning. It was obvious that the whole thing with Jesse was a set up so I was like DON'T GO WITH HIM and smart Christian didn't though, it wasn't really a set up and it wouldn't work that well on him since he sucked at compelling people. 
Rose had a fangirl 😂 Jill. Brett Ozera? I didn't realize the Ozera's had any other family so I was surprised to hear the name. So someone was beating up the royals and I was like, was is Mason's ghost? but yeah I was WAY off. Hey look, the formatting got back to normal. Yay, Adrian got them into the trial. I love him. 
When she got that head ache I literally wrote 'Oh shit what does this headache mean.' 
Like I said before I really like Eddie, but I feel bad for him since he blames himself for Mason's death. 
Tatiana seemed like a jerk but she wasn't to Adrian apparently. 
Like I also said earlier I think the relationships move really fast in these books like Adrian loves Rose really quickly and I feel like Dimitri did too I think it would be better if Richelle worked up to it a little more. I was surprised when Mia and Rose hugged. 
"It's called persuasion not harassment." 
It's really obvious as I said earlier that Christian does't like Adrian because he is jealous of him and Lissa, and I gotta admit that Adrian and Lissa would be a cute couple but I love their relationship already, it's kinds older brotherly which I find really cute. I always wanted a protective older brother (I've said that way too many times)
"And I'm her favorite great nephew. Well, I'm her only great nephew, but that's not important. I'd still be her favorite." 
Ugh Victor and his note. -_-
"I'd do a lot of things to protect you, Roza." Aw, still team Adrian though. 

When they did the tarot card thing and Dimitri's said he would loose what what he most valued I thought it meant Rose but nope it was his SOUL. 
When the ice storm happened and they and to land in the regular air port I was like SOME MOROI MADE THAT AND THEY'RE GONNA BE ATTACKED! but no... Rose was just attacked by some ghosts. 
I didn't like how they were kind of treating Lissa like a little innocent puppy, oh she can't know this it'll hut her. Sometimes not knowing things will hurt her too. 
"Then you'll never see us again and we'd be very sad." 
"Yes," said Christian. "I'd cry into my pillow every night." 
______________________________________________________
Ugh Jesse and Ralf's club is retarded. They attack people to see if they can compel them? Ugh. 
Aw they said they loved each other (Dimitri and Rose) heck, I STILL prefer Adrian. 
It's so funny Adrian and Rose have this intense moment when they're ABOUT to kiss then the bell rings and 
"Now I can see Lissa," Adrian says happily. 
_____________________________________________________
The Strigoi are on campus but looking on the bright side Rose finally got her stake. 
I was SO scared Christian would die when he was fighting with Rose, like I'm always scared Christian will die, sometimes I swear authors kill people just to piss their fans off lol (VERONICA!!!) 
The first thing I thought after the battle was over was IS EDDIE OKAY?! and no. he wasn't but luckily they saved him. But lost Dimitri in the process. I've realized from these books that Richelle sets the books up then around 70% in she adds the main fight and the action, did you notice?
"When you come back, will you give me a fair shot?" I was feeling like crying for Adrian at that point.. 
But then I was ACTUALLY on the verge of tears when Lissa had begged Rose to stay, ugh I hate it when friendships break up, even though theirs didn't it was just really sad. 
9.5/10 stars
 

SPOILERS FOR BLOOD PROMISE BELOW


"You're the only one I want, Rose." Seriously , I would SO give up on Dimitri for Adrian. 
So in that prophecy she got about her and the dead I was like okay this is going to be a big thing, not really, she calls upon the dead once accidentally to help her in a Strigoi. 
So we meet Sydney in this book, I didn't know much about the Bloodlines series, but I knew that Sydney was the main character of it so I paid close attention to her in the VA series. 
Haha, ironic that she went out to go and kill Dimitri and ends up staying with his family. 
So when Avery is all nice to Lissa all these alerts went off in my brain IS SHE TRYING TO SET HER UP TO LOOK BAD? IS THIS SOME TYPE OF PLAN?! yeah, I'm that paranoid about my books. 
When Yeva made Rose carry garden bricks I was laughing my head off. 
Ugh then Rose started acting all bitchy and she like started yelling at Adrian over the dream about Avery and stuff, like I get she's taking away Lissa's anger but I was upset when she yelled at Adrian. 
I got really mad when Rose got captured by Dimitri I just wanted her to kill him because it was what he wanted plus I like Adrian... (she says guiltily.)
I was SO upset when Christian and Lissa broke up like What? what? no this isn't happening. 
So (Apologies I say 'so' and 'lol' way to often) I had this crazy idea that Oksana was Avery's MOM and that Avery was a spirit (after Rose got kicked out of Lissa's head) well, half that crazy theory was right, but the whole mom thing was a little too far out there. 
When Rose killed Dimitri I was almost cheering but then I was like, wait a minute Rose can see the dead, is that how she and Dimitri are going to continue come of their relationship? Nope he just wasn't dead. Okay then. 
This book kinda bothered me because of Rose's separation from Lissa also because she was stuck with Dimitri for a really long time. 
So I figured out Avery was a spirit before they said it, but when she was trying to get Lissa to jump out of the window I was like SOMEBODY KILL THIS BITCH then I added Adrian maybe? lol. 
'And that's when something truly beautiful happened. Lissa socked him in the nose.'
this was my favorite scene for  a lot reasons one of them begin it's easy for like Rose to fight because that's what she's trained to do but Lissa? she's never fought before so it was fun to read. 
I have no idea why but I found it funny that they were all trying to compel Simon to do different things. 
When we found out Victor's brother was a spirit user I was just like OHHH that's how he knew so much about spirit. But I read it wrong and thought Robert was BONDED to a spirit user not a spirit user, hey give me a break I was jet lagged in Iceland, as opposed to being jet lagged in America, lol. 
So I thought oh Abe must be her dad or know her dad because he obviously cares for her and then CALLED IT! I love being right, I'll admit it. 
"There was poetry in that motion." I love how proud Rose if of Lissa punching Reed. 
"But I dropped out."
"Then drop back in!" 
______________
Okay 
Okay 
ADRIAN AND ROSE SAID IT!
Ugh when we found out Dimitri was alive I was just like NOOOO I want Rose and Adrian together. 

9/10 stars 

SPOILERS FOR SPIRIT BOUND
I love watching people who are still in love with each other sorta edge around the other so I found this book hilarious for Christian and Lissa's relationship (still my OTP for this series I just predicted they'd be back together sometime). It's funny that they both got so jealous when the other talked to anyone of the opposite sex. 
'And by girl stuff I mean breaking and entering.' You got it, Rose, it's my favorite thing to do, how'd you know?
Ugh I didn't want them to break Victor out JUST LEAVE DIMITRI AND STAY WITH ADRIAN HE'S AMAZING but obviously that wasn't going to happen. 
"Did you know," He said slowly. "That Victor Dashkov is sitting on your bed?" Ah I loved the break out scene it was awesome. Though, I'm disappointed that they never went back to the mental place to check out the spirit users there, I thought since Richelle mentioned it that she would weave that back in, but she didn't, though when I heard there were spirit users there I was like AVERY IS THERE. 
I felt so bad for Adrian because she was only with him because she couldn't be with Dimitri and she'd dump him in the blink of an eye if Dimitri said he loved her. 
"Gentle girl or drunken sod?" Lol. 
So they mentioned how Eric went to like the strip club or something so why would Richelle mention that if it wasn't important? 
Ah Christian is suspicious of Rose, good smart boy. 
Christian offers to go and teach Lissa how to stake strigoi so he can be around her aww but Rose 'Oh I'll teach them how to fight, starting with punching Christian in the face' lol. She says something similar about Serena. 
I really like that Lissa wants to learn to fight, I don't want her to be helpless. 
"You knocked out Reed Lazar. Rose mentioned it, like, a hundred times. I've never heard her so proud of something." 
'Punching Reed Lazar had been a beautiful thing.'
Aw when Christian shielded her with his body I was practically drowning in the feels. 
'She increased the stakes- no pun intended'. lol
When Christian brought the ring of fire around Dimitri and Lissa stuck her arm through it to try and stake him it was so intense.
Oh right, when Lissa and Christian were training together ahh hilarious, so much sexual tension. 
"It would take a lot for that to change." and then she lay against his chest and he whispered happy birthday to him. I WAS drawing in the feels there. 
When Dimitri was describing being strigoi it reminded me of Jace in City of Lost Souls, he was there but not really. 
Christian still being really protective of Lissa THE FEELS THE FEELS 
As I've said before Lissa and Adrian have a really cute brother/sister relationship and I would have liked to see more of that, heck I kinda just want the whole series to have another series of the same thing from Lissa's point of view. 
Not-so-subtle mask, nice job Christian. 
'Adrian apparently got the passwords for half the party' lol I feel bad for the guard people they have to like memorize all the passwords. 
'Okay, it was hard for me to imagine him involved with anyone. His getting together with Lissa was monumental.'
"It's not my fault I'm a genius." 
Ugh she keeps betraying Adrian for Dimitri STOP IT ADRIAN LOVES YOU!!!!!
Her screaming at the queen was a bad rash move on Rose's part. 
Rose and Adrian get back together but she's eventually going to choose Dimitri I'll bet on it :(
"That was the best not-sex ever." 
"There's only one person I have ever wanted." I just died of the feels. 
9.9/10 stars

SPOILERS FOR LAST SACRIFICE 
I felt really bad for Adrian off the bat, his great-aunt is dead and his girl friend- whom he loves- is in prison and will drop him at the first sign that Dimitri wants her back. 
I didn't believe Adrian was out drunk for a minute so the real question was where was he really and what were they moving too fast on?
"Breaking out of jail is okay. But steal a car, and you sound totally outraged." 
Okay I thought Rose was being an idiot when she ran away but it wouldn't be nearly as interesting a book if she just sat in West Virginia, actually, she could meet Daemon and Katy! 
When Joshua proposed to her and then Angeline was like 'Fine you can marry my brother' I was dying of laughter. 
I thought that when Angeline ran off into the woods to cry that she would follow them or something but nope, though she does have a part in the bloodlines series, a kinda annoying part. 
Yay when Lissa got nominated by her friends to be queen I was cheering in my head, though, not out loud that's be awkward because I was on a plane to London. 
Lissa is smart so I knew she'd be able to pass the tests and that eventually she'd probably became queen. 
After hearing so much about Mrs. Karp we finally meet her, she's a lot younger than I thought she was. 
GO LISSA! (When she lights the fire)
"You can call me Lissa." 
"You can also let go of her hand now." 
"I've seen you too. Ozera. Crispin, right?" 😂
_________________________________________________
"So what brings you and Christopher here?"
"CHRISTIAN." 
___________________________________
I was really suspicious of Daniella about killing Tatiana but it seemed like the obvious choice so obviously it wasn't her (did that make any sense?)
"Oh and Kreskin too."
The fight between Sonya and Robert was pretty intense since they both know their spirit abilities. 
Lissa's dream was like her own fear serum. 
When they were talking about Liss's sibling Jill was actually my first guess because of a line that caught my attention back in Spirit bound about Lissa kinda reminding her of Jill, but how awesome would it be if Adrian was Lissa's sibling? 
I'm STILL not really sure if I like Jill as a Dragomir I kinda found her a little annoying. 
"Make a toga out of a blanket?" 
Poor Eddie, he was just doing his job of protecting Lissa. 
I was FLIPPING out at Rose when she cheated on Adrian, it pissed me off so much I can't even put it into words. 
Victor's death seemed really swift to me, like he's always been a villain hovering in the background since book 1 so it was surprising finally seeing him dead, but poor Robert. 
For the question about the queen my first answer was Trust but apparently the answer is nothing. 
Ugh Rose just used Adrian :( Poor Adrian :*(
'Under the irrational assumption that anyone in nice clothes must be royal and all royals hated Lissa' LOL 
Aw Sonya and Mikhail reunited that was so cute. 
When Adrian saw Dimitri kiss Rose's head I was so sad for him. 
The killer was so obviously not Daniella because they were avoiding saying his/her name, but I was not expecting it to be Tasha, that was a big plot twist for me, poor Christian though. 
Then poor Adrian after his fight with Rose. 
I don't like that their bond is broken, and as I predicted Lissa became queen. At the end of this book I'm still unsure of how I feel about Jill and I was very unsatisfied with the ending of this book, I WANT MORE ROSE LISSA ADRIAN AND CHRISTIAN. Really that's the only reason I read the Bloodlines series, but we'll get to my review on that series later. I would rate Last Sacrifice 9.8/10 stars it was really good.
