The Ruby Circle (Bloodlines, #6) By Richelle Mead

The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

YAY!!!! I finished Bloodlines ^^

I think I liked this book a lot, thought there were moments that pissed me off, still it was great.

- I liked Sydney in here, she was all action and always thinking about her husband ^^ Adrian and always there for helping others.

- I loved when she was called Mrs. Ivashkov XD

- I hated their fights over Spirit, and hated Spirit's way of using Tatiana's voice to push Adrian.

- I loved the discovery of the new knowledge about Adrian's cousin: (view spoiler)[Oh.My.God I can't believe it's Dimitri which of course makes it doubly awesome, since in the last couple of books the respect and like was obvious between the two guys (hide spoiler)]

- I loved the increase of Rose and Dimitri's appearance in this book.

- I kinda liked all the magic things with the witches and covens and spells it was new and cool.

- The idea of Wolf with Ms. Terwilliger still makes me smile cause they are totally unlikely couple and still present an interesting pair.

- Sydney's dad is still an ass, but I'm glad that Zoe is starting to see some light.

- I liked the transformation that came over everyone after the baby was introduced to them, how Sydney and Adrian were natural parents, how Daniala took instantly to the baby.

- Since this is the last book in the series I need to make a tribute to Clarence since he was a great friend to them through the whole series, his place became their safe haven.

- Lissa showed more emotions here than in the previous book, and I liked that, but I wanted to know more about her relationship with Jill, since they didn't take much to each other.

- I loved the epilogue how each couple were still together, still happy and still together, watching them and listening to them brought joy to me, especially when it came to Adrian, Dimitri and Eddie and their other halfs Sydney, Rose and Jill, oh and lets not forget Lissa and Christian XD since all of them faced sever hardship to get to what they are at now.

I loved Both Vampire Academy and Bloodline series and I hope there might be a future spin off series in store for us ^^

Overall, *thumps up*

Silver Shadows (Bloodlines, #5) By Richelle Mead

Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book hands down the most emotional one so far from both Vampire Academy series and Bloodlines series.

- I started crying since the ending of the previous book, but in here I kept on crying throughout the book, from the beginning till the ending, from sad moments, from lonely moments, from happy moments, from every agonizing moment when any side started to think of the other.

- I loved how strong Sydney was and I respected her all the more, what she went through how the author depicted the type and methods of torture she suffered. How she interacted with the other prisoners, how she never gave up, simply she was a human with a strong core.

- I loved the reunion it was so heart wrenching especially her reunion with Eddie. Since book one I thought that they certainly looked like siblings more than friends and they were perfect as twins. I loved how close they were, how Eddie confided in her, how he was one of the few she trusted whole heartedly.

- I liked how Trey and Angeline were together, how Trey didn't care about anything else other than what was important to him which was Angeline, throughout the series he showed how good of a guy he was.

- I looooooved how Ms. Terwilliger cared this much for Sydney, from her actions it was obvious that Sydney was more to her than just an apprentice. I just wished that she was there in the reunion as well, and she would have been sooo proud of Sydney.

- Loved the whole proposal and marriage but the problem was the people around them, both asshole dads were in their typical douche bags behaviors, and I was proud of the mom, a bit disappointed in Lissa because she though he just married for some diplomatic immunity but I'm glad that she sided with Adrian.

The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines, #4) By Richelle Mead

The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The start off was amazing and it just kept getting better and better.

- I liked how the main couple were so lovey-dovey even if it was in secret and no one knew or sensed except the teacher.

- Hated Zoe for everything, I think there were these moments were the sister bonded or she started to think tat vampires aren't s bad, but the asshole dad always squished them.

- I liked how the heroine was close to everyone.

- I liked how the other couples progressed as well, like both couple Eddie and Jill, Trey and Angeline both wanted each other but held bad for some stupid reason, plus I liked that Jill knew that Eddie wants her but is holding back for his own stupid reason, oooooooh but I loved that kiss she gave him and how love struck he was after it, and I was happy for the other couple how the got back together.

- I loved that genius factor that played in this book with them discovering two tattoos that would change things so drastically. Like they were epically revolutionary.

- Again Hated Zoe for shadowing her, for always fight with her and for telling on her which resulting in the heroine getting caught.

- This is the first time in this series that I started to cry but I did when she got Eddie to leave her, how messed up he became after that how Adrian became messed up after that, the ups and downs of finding some hope or dashing it away how even the magic mentor was so attached to her tat she cried for her as well.

The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines, #3) By Richelle Mead

The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The situation and life is getting sticker by the minute for Sydney.

- I liked how flustered she became around Adrian every time they had an intimate moment.

- I liked how bold she started to become, like with covert missions and the magic, she started to feel empowered not the controlled puppet anymore.

- Loved how she became closer to her magic mentor, and how the mentor was so protective of her pupil, plus how Adrian kicked it off with the teacher was funny.

- Loved the dragon moments, it was so cute it's like he's their pet so funny with the adoring eyes and the protectiveness toward it's master.

- Loved the romantic interludes.

- Kinda liked the eccentricities of Wolf XD

- The Alchemists are assholes.

- I hated what happened to Eddie regarding Angeline but I hope that Jill doesn't get sucked into another relationship after the new Dhampir guy appeared, I just want them to end up together sooner.

- The thing that Angeline did was ugly and deceitful, but I liked the fact that Trey actually wants her but their taboo relationship is the problem, it might be nice to cross the line toward the taboo especially since he's a vampire hunter and she's no-blood-sucking vampire.

The Golden Lily (Bloodlines, #2) By Richelle Mead

The Golden Lily by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok the series is getting in to more depth now.

- I liked how closer Sydney was with the rest of them, how she started to realize that these vampires are more caring and humane than the humans themselves.

- I have to admit Angeline was a shock, since there wasn't much interactions with the Keepers after Rose and the rest left them, like what happened next? did they got introduced to the out world? or something like that.

- I loved that Eddie is in love with Jill, and it was kinda obvious sense the first book, but I hate how he feels so unworthy of her, like when he wants her she's dating someone else and when FINALLY she notices him now he's asking out someone else.

- The warriors people just made the points that Sydney noticed between the humans and the vampires more obvious, since people can be evil and the vampires can be good.

- I loved that Adrian is now in love with her and their first kiss was cute but I hated hoe abruptly it ended and how much she denied it.

- It was really nice seeing other characters from VA series in here, like Dimitri with his old famous duster XD and Sonya with her love for Mikhail and gardening.

Bloodlines (Bloodlines, #1) By Richelle Mead

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's really nice to read about characters you liked and their follow up since the last series ended.

This certainly is different from the Vampire Academy, since the heroines are totally different. Plus the aspect of loyalties being in issue is a bit stressed in this series more, since it's between humans and vampires, not like VA when it was between the vampires themselves.

I have to say I couldn't wait to reach the ending, because most of the book have settled into a pattern where they discuss their daily lives in school which wasn't where all the excitement was, and the big bombs were at the very end, you just discover something after the other.

- I liked all the characters, Eddie is my favorite, but Adrian is holding his own with his dry wit and wicked sense of humor XD

- Jill was a bit annoying in this book honestly, the impression she gave in the last series was shown here a little bit of a brave naive innocent little girl, but most of the time I saw her either whining or bitching but I guess the stress of being in hiding among strangers and the time ticking by for any assassin coming to kill her can do that so I'm cutting her some slack.

Last Sacrifice (Vampire Academy, #6) By Richelle Mead

Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A beautiful ending for a beautiful series ^^

- I loved all the characters in here even the minor or the evil ones. Of course I loved Rose, Dimitri, their gang of Eddie, Lissa, Adrian, Sydney, and of course Abe, Jeannine, Mikhail, Sonya and Ambrose. Plus when I say evil I meant the Dashkov brothers.

- I loved her friends and family for what they did for her, their unflinching loyalty to her.

- I loved Abe here, he was just so ... so much like Abe XD, I liked him in the jail breaking part, the part when she came back and called him Dad, I really think that this one truly took him by surprise, and when he defended her at the end, and of course him being Abe at the coronation ^^

- I liked the part when Lissa was having her the trial for running for queen, for once being Lissa was intriguing and curious.

- I liked the "Savage" people part, it was funny, and having a man cave takes a totally different meaning in there XD, plus I hoped that their situation would be mentioned to Lissa and that she might do something about it.

- I liked Sonya, and I was happy that she was turned back, she was good from the beginning, and didn't hesitate to help Rose, and was Over the Moon with her reunion with Mikhail, it brought tears to my eyes.

- Ok now Rose and Dimitri were on a totally different dimension than the rest, their explosive attraction was sizzling the air throughout the story, the sparks were flying everywhere. The kiss scene when Rose wanted to run away, the strogoi killing part, the library scene, Dimitri's attitude when they were with the "Givers", and everything after that actually, and before anything happens they admitted they love each other but he won't be the man you takes another man's woman, but I was glad their defenses fell and they succumbed to temptation, and like what Sonya said they lit up when they are together.

- The ending when Rose comes back to court was phenomenal, how she faces everyone with the truth, how everyone trusts her even without knowing all the facts, how they became layers of walls to protect her, and the part where she get shoot even if I already know that she lives I still cried, how now that she saw the faces of her two most favorite people in the world she can die happy.

- The thing about Jill was shocking, take about scary coincidence, she and Lissa had a touchy past I just hope the not just mend old bridges but that they can build new ones.

- The losing of the bond was shocking, What will happen to Lissa now? they were so perfect as a bonded pair, and like Rose not knowing how Lissa feels or thinks is starting to worry me.

- Adrian on the other hand is a different matter, I liked him more and more throughout the series, and felt bad for him when he discovered about Rose and Dimitri, but his last scene was understandable but ... I don't know how to say it, I just hope that he can mend bridges too and become friends with Rose.

Ok I think I covered everything ^^

Overall, *thumps up* an amazing series and worth the read.

Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, #5) By Richelle Mead

Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is amazing it has such twists and turns that keeps any reader enthralled.

- I liked the first scene of the book when Rose was still in the academy, the somehow nice yet creepy letter from Dimitri, the Trial exam, the ceremony, even the after party and her dad and all his flirting, and Jill saying goodbye XD

- I loved how Rose developed a friendship with Mikhail considering both know how the other feels since both has their loved one's turned strogoi, and I know his Sonya would return to being a Moroi in the next book I just how I can see the reunion at least.

- I liked how both Eddie and Lissa followed Rose without any hesitation, it shows how deep their friendship is. Especially when Lissa clearly didn't want anything to do with Victor and Eddie not asking any questions even after knowing it might be treasonous, yet some way I didn't like how he turned sulky afterward and giving Rose attitude.

- I was glad that Lissa and Christian were mending the bridge between them, slowly but with progress till we reached the finale at the end with the kiss.

- The turning for Dimitri was ... beautiful. I know I read it not actually saw it but the whole scene seemed beautiful to me, and Lissa's attitude after that was so motherly and beautiful, I understood the jealousy that came over Rose when Dimitri would want Lissa but not her, and I know it's not romantic in the least yet I knew how painful it is for the man you love and always wanted and after everything you did he didn't want you, not just being with him but out of his life.

- I was pissed at Dimitri's attitude after the turning but I understood it, he was so sad and ashamed about what he did to Rose that he don't want to defile her or something.

- At the cafe shop before the guards came for Rose, she and Dimitri somehow reached a draw zone where they were more or less on friendly terms, which was nice for a change.

- I agree with Rose that the evident's against her convicting her to be a murderer were to obvious to be true, but I also liked how Abe was instantly there for her, for a second there I thought that she might choose the other lawyer but I was glad she choose him, somehow every time he promised her something he was so intense and I thought that was beautiful too, because it showed he cared about her that he would move mountains for her, and him being Abe he just might be able to XD

- I was pissed at Tatiana at first with the underage decree but after reading that letter I kinda liked her, and I knew she trusted Rose and believed in her abilities, plus I hoped that Ambrose didn't believe that Rose murdered Tatiana, I liked him he was nice and he seemed to really care about Tatiana, but like Rose him being with her was kinda disturbing to me too XD

Overall, *thumps up* I can't wait fr the next and final book in the VA series ^^

Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, #4) By Richelle Mead

Blood Promise by Richelle Mead
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The action keeps escalating from a book to the next and so far this one has been full of action.

- The thing I think I liked the most was the part where Rose was together with Dimitri's family, the whole part was lovely and cute with how accepted she was, and yet so painful with her delivering the news about Dimitri and all the recollection that she and all of them were doing about him. But overall I loved how they embraced her into their family and everyone keeps telling her that it was no surprise he loved her and her being here was normal like she belonged there with them.

- I liked how Rose found the Shadow-kissed pair and finally found someone who understands what she's going through, somehow it was reassuring that she wasn't alone in that situation. Plus they were a lovely couple XD

- I liked how Rose wsa so hardcore and was in commander status with the unpromised group killing and interrogating strogoi XD

- Dimitri *sigh* had his moments, some moments he was sweet and understanding especially that moments when they talked about his family, but he keeps growing more creepy by the second, giving her jewelry, using her as some kind of a bloodwhore excluding the sex, and taunting her with it. At first I was mad at Rose for keeping up with it, and I wanted her to snap out of it sooner, and when she did realize what she has been doing for the last couple of days I was proud of her. Plus his twisted logic wasn't helping at first he was gonna wait for her to turn by choose, then gave her a deadline and then either she choose to or he turn her by force, and at the end he wanted to kill her, his obsession with her was kinda creepy and scary.

- Avery was a whole different story, even without the spoilers, I didn't like her since the beginning, she had that slimy snake like attitude, and plus Lissa only got worse after she arrived so it wasn't hard t figure out. And I loved the mental battle thing and how awesome it was for Rose to communicate with Lissa through her mind.

- I knew that Abe was Rose's father and the scene where he was saying goodbye to her at the airport and the scarf thingy was cute, but the second she realized that at the ending was totally amusing and hilarious.

- I liked the whole part when she got back to school, how she was reunited with Lissa, how she hugged everyone, how she and Lissa talked things out of their system for hours, and her reunion with her mom too was cute, and how her mom kept talking fondly about her dad, which I found somehow strange since they weren't married and he has been out of their lives for 18 yrs. Plus how the school wanted her back.

- Plus that creepy tune for that the audiobook has for when Rose has this queasy feeling before a strogoi approaches is so surreal that every single time I'm creeped out

Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3) By Richelle Mead

Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book certainly has been intense, and I doubt the next one would be less than that, but here are my thought.

- I didn't liked Rose in her most f the book, because she either was bitchy and grumpy or totally pissed off at everyone and everything, and I didn't like her keeping secrets, she complains that no one gets her but the thing is she's not telling people what's happening to her so that they understand her. sometimes I think she might believe that Lissa can understand her feelings like she does but as they keep saying and she must understand the bond is a one way thing.

- Lissa seemed to me too dependent on Rose, that's understandable since they have been like that since they were kids, but when Lissa had a boyfriend and spent almost all her time with him Rose didn't complain to her about it, but at the end when Rose had to go Lissa was like " You're leaving me?!" and for some reason it sounded selfish to me.

- I liked how Rose was with Eddie they make a nice pair of friends, they understand each other and trust each other's abilities.

- I liked how Christian was with Rose how he trusts her and believes in her never doubting her sanity or ability.

- Of course the parts with Dimitri were in half, the first half of the book was all understandable and like the previous books, well normal I would call it, but the send half was all lovey dovey, it was obvious to me he wants to spend time with her and that he really cared for her plus in this book he was the one doing all the moves XD

- I loved the fighting scenes the one that started with her and Christian teaming up then the big one, it was obvious she was depended on, but at the end of the fight I couldn't stop crying at her pain, the writer has a way of making the all the dying and sorrowful scenes real that I see myself crying at those and really see them as if they are happening right before my eyes.

- I liked the Mason ghost thing, how the relationship develop till at the end when she was saying goodbye to him I cried for the Mason who isn't going to be there anymore.

Frostbite (Vampire Academy, #2) By Richelle Mead

Frostbite by Richelle Mead
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I know some people would think I might ruin the book for myself when I read spoilers, and sometimes I might agree with them, but not here, aaaaaand it's not like I can help it, I just have to know some basic facts before starting a book or a series, and sometimes more than just basic facts XD

I knew from the start what's going to happen in this book, the bad stuff and the worse stuff, but it still didn't detract from it's essence XD (A bit fancy I know but that's the truth) and the good part was even if I knew stuff the summary I read was just that a summary of the book with the main events highlighted not the whole thing. For one thing I didn't know we will get the chance to meet her mom.

- I think I prefered the previous book to this one since it looked more darker. I didn't liked how Lissa wasn't how she used t be with Rose, just because she got herself a boyfriend it didn't mean you can neglect the people who care about you and have risked their lives for you, because that's what I have seen here, she basically ignored Rose and whenever Rose wanted to vent to her or talk they end up talking about Lissa which I know is Rose's fault as well but it still bugged me.

- I didn't liked Rose much here too, with the jealousy part, I knew why she hooked up with Mason and I'm glad she realized what she's doing to him is wrong, but here in this book she seems to be engulfed in darker emotions, for frequently than naught.

- I was surprised that we would get introduced to the mother so soon but I liked the interactions between them and how it ended at the book, with the white flag and all.

- I liked that Mia got closer to their circle, and I hope we see more of her with them in the other books

- The most important part to me was the last fight scene at the end of the book, I liked Mason since book one, how he really did care about Rose and how he understood her and did things for, and when I saw how he died I just couldn't stop crying, the whole scene I just can picture it happening right in front of me and I cried and cried. Him lying of the ground motionless, Rose not believing and dispassionately killing the two strogoi and then ending up being alone with him not letting anyone close to him lying on his chest I just felt pain and pain and more pain.

Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) By Richelle Mead

Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I started this series after watching the Movie that was based after this book ^^

There wasn't much difference, both were good actually, and the fact that I know what happens in this book didn't ruin it for me, in fact I was interested in seeing what's difference is in here. Sure there was some differences but not much, some sentences that were awesome in the book weren't in the movie and some scenes were shifted but that didn't make much difference.

- I like the relationship between the two best friends, some people might credit it to the bond, and that it's Rose's job as a dhampir to look after Lissa but it's not.

- I liked the thing between Rose and Dimitri, and actually it was my main reason for reading the book ^^ I just wanted to know how they will end up together.

- I'm not a huge fan of vampires, but I really liked this book, it didn't depict the usual things regarding vampires, it made it in to a nicer high school version not the twilight kind XD
