Picking up with Spirit Bound left off, Rose Hathaway is in a LOT of trouble. On trial for a murder she didn't commit and trying to keep the secret of her best friend's secret sibling from her, Rose is just trying to stay alive long enough for her friends to clear her name. When everything seems impossible, the unlikeliest of allies come to her aid and together, with Dimitri, Rose risks everything she has to save the ones she loves. 
 I love this series - and this book is no exception. I think it's well written with a cast of fantastic characters who are three dimensional and entertaining. Last Sacrifice gives some of the lesser characters time to shine whilst Rose is on the run. Lissa really comes into her own and becomes the royal citizen that she was always meant to be. The bond between Rose and Lissa is such a helpful tool for the reader to be in two places at once - and I much preferred how it was utilized in this novel (especially considering my dislike of the convenience of the bond in Blood Promise). 
 Despite Rose being a kick arse heroine and one who I really enjoyed watching develop as the series progressed - for me this series' heart was the love story between Rose and Dimitri (and Adrian). I traditionally despise love-triangles. But I really loved how everything played out. I felt like Rose really earned the relationship and the vampire she ended up with. 
 This book was a satisfying conclusion to the Vampire Academy series. There's plenty of drama, action and romance to be enjoyed and I loved how everything played out. It's a series that I'm thrilled to have discovered this year and can recommend it to all fans of YA paranormal novels. 
 I'm so excited to have the first two Bloodlines books in my possession so I can start reading the adventures of Sydney, Adrian and Jill as soon as possible.
