Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, #4) in vampire lovers

Sep 21, 2012 Carina Bernadette rated it it was amazing

Richelle Mead, once again, you've proven how great of an author you are. Blood promise kept me wondering and am still wondering what'll happen next.
On the last book, Shadow Kiss, I've been restless, thinking of the fate of Dimitri and all those drama between Rose and Lissa. Blood Promise has certainly answered them but some are kept unanswered...
BEWARE: IF YOU HAVEN'T READ BLOOD PROMISE YET, THEN PLEASE DON'T READ THE NEXT FOLLOWING LINES...

(view spoiler)[ Dimitri's 'awakening' is very awful in my part, I often read that being dead is better than turning into a Strigoi, that is where Rose comes in. I love how determined she is to find the man she love and how she left her best friend to find him. As the story goes on, Rose meets Dimitri's family. After telling the Belikovs of Dimitri's death and the unraveling of Rose's feelings for Dimitri, the Belikovs have accepted her as a family and was having second thoughts if she should stay but then, Abe(Rose's father) warned her to stay away. Along the way, Rose meets a bonded couple and 'they' could possibly help her with her relationship with Lissa. So Rose joins the 'unpromised', dhampir who refuses to be a guardian or a 'blood-whore', and hunts for Dimitri. Eventually, she finds Dimitri but wasn't ready to kill him.
"You forgot my first lesson: Don't hesitate" <--- My favorite line so far
Then Dimitri knocks Rose down and imprison her in a suite? So the place was beautiful, not like a prison, Now go figure. Dimitri persuades Rose into becoming one of them but Rose can't quite make up her mind so more 'scenes' are made with Dimitri but unfortunately, Rose becomes a blood-whore because Dimitri would often drink blood from her(which is a part I can't take. I mean, Dimitri, sucking blood out of Rose? Isn't that the opposite of what the old Dimitri wanted?). To know what's going on in school, Rose goes into Lissa's head or sometimes, Adrian would go to her dreams. So here's where Avery, the new girl, comes in. For starters, I HATE HER! Well that's what I said about Mia at first but I already forgave her. Back to Avery, She's this bad influence girl who uses compulsion on both Lissa and Adrian. And Fuck! She made Adrian 'admire' her(Don't get the wrong idea, I like Dimitri but Adrian tops my list for fictional boyfriends too!). Not only that, but she pushes Rose's way of seeing what Lissa sees through the bond. So yeah, my term for her now is a bitch. A total BITCH! Then Rose realizes that her best friend is in danger so she forms a plan to escape and kills those other Strigoi guarding the suite-prison, even Dimitri.
I swear I was crying by the time I was reading that Dimitri-killing part! Aaawww Dimitri... Then the whole shocking part where an envelope was sent to Rose with her stake when she 'supposedly' killed Dimitri then that is where it's revealed that Dimitri is ALIVE, A.L.I.V.E. I almost can't breathe. He is ALIVE!! I'm jumping for joy yet I don't know if I should be happy or not, well, I would just figure it out in the next book.
"You forgot another lesson: Never turn your back until you know your enemy is dead.
Looks like we’ll have to go over the lesson again the next time I see you-which will be soon.
Love, D."
Aaawww, LOVE, D.
Man did I jump for joy when I saw that! (hide spoiler)]
To sum it all up, Richelle Mead did a great job. It was a very great book. I loved it A LOT and can't wait to read Spirit Bound next!
