Wow. This book was awesome. I love Adrian. I love Sage even more. She rocks. Though I wish Rose came more, this book was awesome. I loved it. I'm looking forward to the next one. It's a good prequel to Vampire Academy. I'm shipping Sage and Adrian now. The plot was as good as ever--Richelle rocks! The twist at the end--it was as creepy as hell, though I saw some of it coming. There was just too much peace. But I loved it. I'm a bit confused about the thing about Sydney's blood--it's confusing-- but it was really good, and terrifying. The end was terrifying. I was sure they were about to die. Good old Eddy. Jill... I really don't know what to think about her. She's pretty naive. But I love Sydney. I love her like hell. And Adrian rocks too. His pain... it touched my heart, it really did. But he's recovering, and I'm really, really glad for that. Sage is catching his attention. Nice cliffhanger at the end. Makes one look forward to the next book. I wonder if Rose's there. 
 Adrian's new research partner stepped through the door, and I knew the uneasy peace we'd just established in Palm Springs was about to shatter. Dimitri Belikov had arrived.
