Book Review: LAST SACRIFICE


Title: LAST SACRIFICE (VAMPRE ACADEMY Book 6)
Author: Rachelle Mead
Other books by Author: VAMPIRE ACADEMY, FROSTBITE, SHADOW KISS, BLOOD PROMISE, SPIRIT BOUND
Publication Date: 11/14/2011
My Rating: 4.5/5--Really good! Worth your time.
Plot in One Word: Vampires
Good if...you want something dark, dangerous, romantic
Murder. Love. Jealousy. And the ultimate sacrifice. The Queen is dead and the Moroi world will never be the same. Now, with Rose awaiting wrongful execution and Lissa in a deadly struggle for the royal throne, the girls find themselves forced to rely upon enemies and to question those they thought they could trust. . . . But what if true freedom means sacrificing the most important thing of all? Each other.
My thoughts... 
LAST SACRIFICE is book #6 in the VAMPIRE ACADEMY series.  This was the last and final book.  And I'm sad to see the series ending.  I enjoyed it immensely.  It's so rare to find a series that can capture your attention after 2 books, let alone 6!

SO to recap--Rose is a dhampire (part vampire part human) bodyguard sworn to protect her bestfriend Lissa.  Lissa is a Moroi vampire (the good kind of Vampire) princess.  In the early books we saw the girls in school, then graduate school, and now they've at court since Lissa is a princess.  You also have the guys too--Christian, Dimitri, and Adrian.  This novel is just another great addition to their stories.  Rose is still the same kick-butt strong sassy female she's always been, Lissa and Rose's friendship still drives the story, the boys are still very much swoon-worthy, and all the action/romance make these books hard to put down.  Book #6 was right on par with all the other books in the series (I still think book 3 was the best though) and I loved how it ended.  It felt very complete, even if a little predictable.  But no disappointments!  I do, however, hope to see Adrian's story more in the author's new spin-off series.

Read this one!!  Read them all!!

I really need to start this series...I know I keep saying that to everyone that reviews one but at least I mean it. I'm scared to read them, though. My expectations are so high!
