    Rose made the choice to hunt down Dimitri in the Strigoi form and kill him, but she has no idea how hard her
    decision will make her life.

    First of all, she has to leave Lissa. Then she has to find Dimitri.

    In a roundabout way, she ends up at his family home in Russia, where she tells them her story. They mourn
    his death and welcome her into the family. Anyone can see how she feels for him. Rose wants nothing more
    to stay there, but she knows she's just at the beginning of her journey.

    When she tracks down Dimitri, she can't help but fall under his spell as he keeps her prisoner. He wants her
    to turn to the dark side with him. Rose doesn't want to when she's herself, but then he comes in and confuses
    her. Is she strong enough to escape and do what she came to do?

    I love this series. It's so full of twists and turns - surprising the daylights out of me. Plus, each book hangs on
    a massive cliffhanger that makes the wait time very hard. I love the cover. I love the relationship between
    Lissa and Rose - and how that's changing.  I just love it all!
