Blood Promise - Richelle Mead

WARNING, THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS TO THE THIRD BOOK

Rose Hathaway's life will never be the same. 

The recent attack on St. Vladimir's Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. Many are dead. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse. A rare tattoo now adorns Rose's neck, a mark that says she's killed far too many Strigoi to count. But only one victim matters ... Dimitri Belikov. Rose must now choose one of two very different paths: honoring her life's vow to protect Lissa—her best friend and the last surviving Dragomir princess—or, dropping out of the Academy to strike out on her own and hunt down the man she loves. She'll have to go to the ends of the earth to find Dimitri and keep the promise he begged her to make. But the question is, when the time comes, will he want to be saved? 

Now, with everything at stake—and worlds away from St. Vladimir's and her unguarded, vulnerable, and newly rebellious best friend—can Rose find the strength to destroy Dimitri? Or, will she sacrifice herself for a chance at eternal love?

What an awful cover, it doesn't match the book at all (I'm not saying the girl on the cover is awful, she's beautiful). I'm kind of done with the whole 'face looking away girl'. The reason I'm saying this, is because these books deserve a way better cover than this. Shh, I know they renewed the covers, but I can barely keep those apart.

WOW, this is one of my favorite series. I love Dimitri (gorgeous god), I love Christian (Lissa's boyfriend), I love Adrian (sassy vamp), but I mostly love Rose! I could feel with her, connect myself with her. Okay, no, I know I'm not half-vampire (Dhampir), and I'm definitely not as strong as her (I spend my life indoors behind a laptop), but she loves Lissa so much and will do everything for Dimitri, and yes she's a little selfish, but so am I, so is everyone. 

It wasn't hard to get in at all, I read it in like 5 days because of school and there was one time I realised it was already 1 AM and I was still reading. These books are so addicting, so beautifully written. If you love it when you read books and something really plot twisting happens, then this is something for you. I dropped my book like 5 times cause of the amazing plot twists. 

There was one thing though, and that was the fact there wasn't enough Dimitri. Rose finally found him at page 350 or something. Not that this is that bad, but I want more and more Dimitri in my life and I have never shipped two people this badly before (liking two people in a relationship).

I'd give this book 5/5 stars, the ending was so so amazing, I'm not going to spoil it so you'll have to read on your own! (hehehe do it fast or you'll regret).
