At first i wasn't to sure about this spin-off series, i guess i got to attached to the characters from 'Vampire Academy' i didn't think i'd get past it. But seeing how the book left Adrian all heart-broken and you can never have too much Adrian in this series, i gave it a shot & let me tell you.....I ABSOLUTELY loved it!!! I just hope Sydney gets over her dumb fear of magic and the supernatural because i definitely want to see Adrian get a chance at love, since his last relationship blew up in his face.
