SPOILERS AHEAD! They'll be marked out though. 
 This book... Omfg omfg omfg. So many crazy things. At first, it was a little slow, but I loved all the new characters. Sydney was so funny, I loved Dimitri's family so much, and new bonded pairs! All of it was crazy. (view spoiler)[ What Dimitri did to Rose, keeping her at the Strigoi estate was not cool. And feeding off of her?! Wow. It still seemed like there was some of the old Dimitri left though, so theres hope. Since she didn't actually kill him, and now hes coming for her! Ahhhhhh, I can't wait for the next one. I hope there is a cure, although I would feel really bad for Adrian. I kind of hope she still gives him a shot. (hide spoiler)] This book was kind of weird without Lissa and Rose together in it, only because they've been together through all of the books! I also wish Sydney would have played a bigger part in this book too. And Dimitri's family. Abe was an interesting character, and that plot twist at the end with her mom! HOLY CRAP. (view spoiler)[ I cannot believe Abe is her dad! I didn't see that coming at all! I'm glad she meant him though. (hide spoiler)] Overall, I really enjoyed this book, even if it was slow at times. It had so many plot twists that you couldn't see coming from a mile away! The cliff hanger at the end was brutal, and I can't wait to see whats in store for the next book. 
 4.5/5 star rating (:
