Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
Releases December 7th
Penguin Group
Young Adult
From Goodreads: Murder. Love. Jealousy. And the ultimate sacrifice. Now, with Rose on trial for her life and Lissa first in line for the Royal Throne, nothing will ever be the same between them.
Okay, that's not the most descriptive of blurbs, so for anyone not familiar with this series it follows Rose Hathaway as she attends school in hopes of becoming a guardian. Rose is a Dhampir, half vampire and half human, and it's the job of Dhampirs to guard the Moroi, full vampires, from the Strigoi who embrace the vampire stereotype and live up to every legend of brutality and murder that's been recorded. Rose faces pain, death, betrayal, love, loss and everything in between in this six book series. Last Sacrifice is the sixth and final book, and book five left Rose in a less than ideal situation, so I'm dying to see what Mead has in store for us.
Luckily, though this is the last in the series, Ms. Mead is doing a spinoff series based in the Vampire Academy world, so more is to come!
I've never read any Vampire Academy books. Am I missing out?
ReplyDeleteIm ashamed to say I have never read this series. But I am going to rectify that soon. Great pimpage Jenny.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with the people above me - I've never read a book from this series! I see them all the time, though, so they must be good books. Cool choice!
ReplyDeleteHow have I never read any of the Vampire Academy novels? I hear they're great...I'm just so bored with vampires. If you say it's worth it though, I might give it a go! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my pick for the week as well. I LOVE this series!! I hope we both enjoy the book as much as the anticipation. Mmm.. Dmitri..

I haven'e read this series either but the covers always look so beautiful, I think I'll have to give in. What is the lead character like is she annoying, that always seems to turn me off if the character is too annoying?
ReplyDeleteHere is my W.O.W.
People who haven't read this series, I highly suggest that you all do:)
ReplyDeleteJenny, the last book had me craving for Last Sacrifice! I still think about it all the time. I actually stopped reading for 2 weeks after I read Spirit Bound because I was in shock and slightly depressed lol
Great WOW! :)

WOW! At least I am not the only one behind in reading certain hit releases- Like The Hunger Series.
ReplyDeleteI have a love-hate relationship with this series. They are so action packed and there is so much going on in the politics... the romance factor just kills me. I'm very interested to see what Rose does regarding her situation.
I love Waiting on Wed... I just haven't participated yet. I am afraid if I do I'll get all frustrated again. I'm not the most patient person.
Great Post!
I linked this blog- I hope you don't mind.

ReplyDeleteJenny, I've got an award for you, don't think I posted to you about it yet! One Lovely Blog Award
I love this series! Can't wait for this book either!!
ReplyDeleteI am so waiting on this one! I don't even read that many YA's (this one and 2 other series) but I can't wait to see how this ends :)
ReplyDeleteThis one is definitely popular this week. Hope it provides a satisfying ending!
