I did not like Rose at all in this book. She was extremely selfish and whether she meant to or not, she was willing to risk so many lives just to save her precious Dimitri. I can't support that. Sure, they want to know if this "curing Strigoi" is real thing, but lets face it, she was doing all for Dimitri. And talk about leading people on! I felt SO bad for Adrian, who loves her no matter what crap she puts him through. I just want to hug him! I honestly feel so love for Rose and Dimitri as a couple. Despite all that, I do like the storyline as a whole and the action scenes were good. Things are a bit predictable, but that's the nature of books nowadays.
