"in this book rose goes with dimitri to do her test, but when they get there they discover that there was a srigioi attack and they kill one of the royal families. dimitri calls some guardians and they wait and the guardians came and dimitri ask her what she thinks that happen in the house. rose answer the question and other questions that dimitri ask her. then, they enter the bathroom and in the wall there was a warning to the guardians and it said poor badicas, many are gone, one person left in one royal family and soon i'm going to finish them of. rose got the warning and after that she didn't stop thinking about it. then, when dimitri and she got to the car, she slam the door hard nad dimitri look at her in surprise and ask what's is wrong and she tells him how can he ask. then, they got to the academy and they didn't say anything and she promise him that she will go to bed, but instead she went to find lissa and when she find her, she was with christian. then, rose tell them if they know what happen in the badicas' house and they siad yes. christian said something and rose said it was true because she was there. then, she went back to her room, but before she went back lissa tell her if everthing was going to be okay. she said yes and smile to her, but when she left the smile faded.( i'm going to finish the reiew when i reread the book because i forgot what happen.)"
"Okay, I thought this one was better than the first one. There was actually stuff going on! Weird how actual plot will help a book. I'm still iffy on most of the characters, and Rose is pretty annoying, but whatever. My one complaint is that this audiobook wasn't very high quality. It skipped back a lot, and it was not read by the same person as the first one. Normally, I wouldn't care, except that Mead uses a lot of made-up words in her books, and they were all pronounced differently. Even one of the characters got a differently pronounced name -- in the same book. Is that chick Mia or Maya? Mya? I have no idea, but it took me a long time to figure out who the hell the narrator was talking about.
Anyway. I want fic for these books. That's pretty much the nicest thing I can think of to say. But come on, there's awesome BFF bitey femmeslash, and there is dirtywrong mentor sex, and boarding school hijinks sex, and I think my mom sometimes looks at my goodreads so I will not talk about the other things I want to read, but there is a lot!
Man, I write really great reviews. I did enjoy learning more about Rose's mother and their relationship. And I also enjoy that Rose rarely needs saving, and in this book, when she did need saving, another chick saved her. I feel like the books are a bit heavy handed with the Important Life Lessons about alcohol and cutting and depression and not being a cocktease, but I will get over it."
"A thrill to read. As the saying goes, if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with. For Rose Hathaway, it wasn't such an easy choice.
Frostbite, the second book of the Vampire Academy series picks up where the first book left off. It begins with Rose and Dimitri driving off to meet up with a legendary Dhampir named Arthur Schoenberg. Rose being a trainee guardian; was scheduled to take her qualifying field test with the famed Strigoi slayer as her appointed judge, but when they reached their destination they discover a scene of a ghastly Strigoi attack.
With the discovery that the Strigoi are targeting Vampire Royals, Saint Vladimir's Academy is on red alert. You'd think Rose had enough things to worry about. Problem 1: Her duty to protect her best friend Lissa (the last of the Dragomir royal line), whom she shares a bond with. A bond that allows her to experience what Lissa is feeling, which can be quite awkward now that she is constantly with her boyfriend, the snarky Christian Ozera. Problem 2: Rose has to stifle her feelings for her tutor, Dimitri, who seems to be falling into the arms of Tasha Ozera (Christian's aunt). Problem 3: Her friend Mason, wants to be more than just friends. On top of all that, she gets an unsuspected surprise when her famous Dhampir mother shows up to add more chaos to her already full plate.
With the Strigoi at large, and Christmas vacation drawing near, the school sends everyone to an exclusive Moroi ski lodge to ensure the safety of the students and their families. It seems like the perfect vacation for Rose till she meets the man of her dreams (in a matter of speaking) Adrian Ivashkov, the Don Juan of Moroi royalty. Trouble ensues as Rose discovers that she inadvertently caused Mason (her admirer) to race off with two companions in tow, hell-bent on revenge against the Strigoi who attacked the royals.
With a series of comical jealously fits, glimpses of erotic experiences, drunken moments, fast-paced action, suspense, and some teen drama thrown in, FrostBite proves to be a winning sequel."
"Frost bite was a good sequel, and in a lot of ways I enjoyed it more then the first book...
I liked Adrian a lot, witty, and sort of creepy, he kept me interested and I look forward to reading more about him...I also really liked Rose's mom, talk about a hardcore woman...
That being said, Rose annoyed me slightly in this one, I know she was trying to protect her friends, but I feel her decision to tell no one where she was going allowed for the situation to escalate how it did, and though mason made his own decisions, I feel she had a hand in him getting killed... now as a normal teen I can see how that could happen, but Rose being raised how she was, I feel that her actions (as well as the others) were at the very best blind stupidity...but while I was reading that whole part I just kept thinking 'this is a plot device, look away' even while I enjoyed it... which I guess in the end is what really matters..."
