This is now my favorite YA series. The Vampire Academy just knocked Twilight & TMI off of their pedal-stools of being my favorite book series. Hands down best YA series out there! It's rare when I give 5 stars to all the books in a series. I'm a glob of emotions right now having just finished Last Sacrifice. This series is going to leave me with a major book hangover for a little while. I can't wait to read the spinoff because I don't want to leave the VA world. The characters in these books will stay with me for a very long time. It's rare when you like every single character in a book (at least for me) & I loved every character in this book. Richelle Mead has rocked my world with her words. So beautifully & well written.
