The story picks up right were Vampire Academy left us. Rose and Lissa are still at St. Vladimir’s. Lissa and Christian are now together and Rose is still in love with her mentor/tutor, Dimitri. When a massive Strigoi attack halts everyone’s plans to travel home, St. Vladimir sends its students to a posh Idaho ski resort, so families can come together in a safe place.But there seems to be a lot more drama happening on the slopes than Rose was expecting. Her good friend Mason has a huge crush on her, Rose’s mom pops unexpectedly back into her life, and Dimitri seems to have eyes for someone else. Not to mention the Strigoi continue to cause problems.When Mason and two other fellow students go missing, Rose knows they went to find the Strigoi. Joining forces with Christian, they head off to find the trio and end up way over their heads......Let me just start off by saying that I love Richelle! I started reading Frostbite and I completely devoured it in one sitting! Is it her writing, the characters, the plot? Maybe it is a combination of everything, but I get so captivated in the story that I don’t even see the pages getting thinner and the book coming to an end! In all seriousness, I really enjoy this series. It has everything that I like, vampires, humor, satire, action, romance, and suspense. I feel like I know the characters. I could defiantly see Rose growing throughout this novel and I can’t wait to see her grow even more. While the plot had many twists and turns, Meade kept it going at a fantastic pace! I may even like Frostbite better than Vampire Academy! This is a great vampire series and if you haven’t read it yet, I suggest that you do! I am anxiously awaiting the release of the next book Shadow Kiss, which will be available Nov. 13! ( )

Okay, just when I thought there could never be a better book than Vampire Academy, Frostbite is here to prove me wrong. This book is amazing!

First of all, Rose and Dimitri’s relationship becomes way more complicated (I didn’t know that was even possible) putting Rose into an even more sassy mood. Her character is constantly changing, but in this book she seems to be a little more constant. She spends most of her time being jealous and just plain angry.

As if her problems with Dimitri aren’t enough to get my attention (which they are) now there is a new guy, Adrian Ivashkov, a prince with a party-boy reputation. Of course this doesn’t stop Rose from spending time with him, even if it is against her will. As much as she dislikes Adrian, she continues to find herself drawn to him. I personally think he is one of those bad boys that every girl wants to make into their good boy, which makes me wish I was Rose!

But with all this being said, the pace definitely picks up in this book as danger from the Strogoi becomes magnified more than ever. Suddenly boy problems become the least of Rose’s worries as she has to face her first (not counting Natalie) Strogoi battle.

To sum it up, THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. I give it a 5/5 of course. ( )

Rose and Lissa have finally integrated themselves back into the life and classes of St. Vladmir's Academy. When Rose is taken away for her Qualifier exam what her and her mentor, Dimitri, discover is horrifying in method and implication. Thrown into a tizzy the Moroi society tries to deal with a new, deadlier threat. Rose knows that when dealing with Strigori the odds are stacked against her but that doesn't stop her from wanting to do anything she can to eradicate the threat against all those that she holds dear.

When I was about three-quarters of the way through the book it struck me that although not a lot of action had occurred, I hadn't missed it at all because I was enjoying the story that much. There were a lot of degrees of relationships in this story and as Rose had to deal with each, it was easy to sympathize with her. I guess that's why when she started making mistakes left and right it was simple enough to forgive her. I enjoy the fact that she is a flawed character. I've often seen this series compared to "The House of Night" books and I have to say I really enjoy this one much more. This book was a very quick, easy and interesting read and I'm very much looking forward to the next book. ( )

Ok, some may argue that the ending is quickly wrapped up without telling us about the Strigoi attacks and Rose leaving the school without permission. Maybe I guess it's because of the Mason's incident and that the school understood Rose's situation and decided to let matter rest. So the school didn't talk about it. This one keeps me engaged and wanting for more :) ( )

The Vampire Academy is a vampire series for those of us who didn't get enough vampire in Twilight . However, it differes from Twilight in that all the vampires go to school together. ( )
