I'm not sure I can put my review into correct words because I am so emotional right now. I rated it 4 stars because I admit, it took a while before it got excited and interesting to where I was hooked. But, nonetheless, I became hooked after two hundred pages in. Mead, you've done it again. Outstanding!

Abe, also known as Ibraham… Rose's father, and she didn't even know until she got back and had the conversation with her mother. Finally, Rose and Lissa are back to their sisterly connection, and Adrian, oh Adrian!! Sydney, an alchemist that helps out the Moroi and dhampirs keep their supernatural life a secret, as well as Strigoi. Dimitri… Dimka…

Spirit Bound, here I come.

Well, I did really like this one but it was kind of slooooooow.

All of these series have a book somewhere in the middle that's a little slow but it super important to the story line. This was the book for this series. I was mostly sad that we didn't get to see more of the people back at the Academy but I did like getting to meet the new Russian characters.

The story line progressed well and I like the way things worked out for Rose more towards the end. Even with everything goes on, she seems to be keeping everything together.

What I really like is how Mead is weaving the Spirit into the story line and how I feel like it's going to play a part in the end. I'm curious about a few logistics but I'm sure that they'll all be explained in the future.

No long, drawn out review this time, just know that it's a little slow to read but I'm 200% sure it's important for the story. 

I love this series more every time I think about it!

Blood Promise is the fourth book in the Vampire Academy series written by Richelle Mead. The series is many readers’ favourite vampire series. In addition to that, the series is now all over the hype as the film based on the first book has just came out in the US. For those who don’t know what Vampire Academy is, it is a Vampire series like no one out there. It’s that original especially because of the original world Richelle Mead created for these vampires.

 	Dimitri and Rose made once a promise to each other. If one of them ever became strigoi, the other will have to go on and kill the other. Then Rose had to keep her promised, so she leaved St. Vladimir and Lisa and set curse to Russia, where Dimitri had last been seen. However, once in Russia she will have to find the exact location from Dimitri’s hometown. In addition to that, she will meet some people who will helped her, others who will made her journey even more complicated, and some answers to questions she didn’t even made.
While Rose goes fight her way to Dimitri, Lisa will find herself in a place she didn’t expected. Rose running away wasn’t something she expected. Nonetheless, that isn’t going to be the only thing she didn’t expected that will happen.

	Blood Promise was a quite peculiar book, especially regarding the pace. In he beginning it was really slow, and I felt I couldn’t get into it. After a while, almost by the half of the book, things suddenly start happening in such a brisk pace that seemed impossible. I highly enjoyed this last half of the book. Actually during this part you can see how well planned Richelle Mead’s world is. The only thing was that the ending, maybe, seemed a bit rushed, considering the calmed the pace was at the beginning.
Another thing, which I think might be taken into account, it’s the predictable events that take place on the book. There are lots of things that were predictable, especially if you read quite few YA books, or if you’ve seen teen movies. I don’t mean that everything was predictable, there were, of course, some surprises. Nevertheless, the predictable matters were quite topical that it disappointed me, I expected more from this series.

In conclusion, Blood Promise was definitely an average book. In my opinion, it was clearly a midway book. One of those books that are clearly the transition between two books in a series. It prepares you to the next one. However, I recommend this series if you like kick-ass female characters, either you are looking for a new different vampire series.

Armed with a mission–one devastating task–Rose Hathaway has left behind the comfort of her best friend and school all to pursue and kill the man she loves. In the events of the third book in the much beloved Vampire Academy novels, Rose’s school was under attack by the notoriously evil undead Strigoi and in this very battle a great deal is lost. But the biggest loss in the end was that of Dimitri Belikov–Rose’s instructor and the man she loves–is changed into a Strigoi against his will.

With loss beating down on her, a piece of her missing, Rose decides to take matters in her own hands and kill the monster he has become. Dimitri did not want this life. Dimitri was no longer Dimitri and Rose knows that the freeing of his soul is what he would have wanted. As a guardian-to-be, Rose Hathaway is trained for this sort of kill.

Taking off with some cash that her friend Adrian Ivashkov loaned, Rose sets off to travel the world and hunt Dimitri down. After choosing this mission over staying in school, Rose’s emotions are torn: being separated from Lissa destroys her in a way different from the loss of Dimitri. And if you pair this with the loss of her friend Mason back in Frost Bite, it’s easy to see that Rose is in a very fragile place when it comes down to losses.
