3.5 stars.
Continuing from Shadow Kiss, Blood Promise starts with Rose in Russia, on the hunt to find Dimitri so she can kill him and officially free his soul just as she knows he would have wanted.
Having counted down the days until I could read this book (mostly, my followers on Twitter suffered for this) and feeling like I could NOT wait another day to read, I've now got mixed feelings on the book.

Okay, so I'm still not enamored of this author's ability (or non-ability) to weave a series without repeating herself from one book to the next, but this book had me on the edge of my seat nearly from start to finish, which is pretty amazing since it's over 500 pages long. And honestly, I was pretty sure that she jumped the shark by essentially killing arguably my favorite character (not that there aren't other interesting characters, but really) in the last book. This book twisted and turned an

This book is SO much better than the previous one in the series. Gone are the multiple explanations, the plot is more complex, and the characters are improving.
It was a great book to read on a plane: didn't require thought, was entertaining and kept me engrossed on a packed 14 hour flight. Long after the dry cabin air, poor lighting, and general cramped surroundings had started to wear a bit thin!
Ok, I admit it, I am going to finish this series. ...more

Not as good as the other books in the series, but a quick read.
I think this was my favorite book so far. It probably had to do with the fact that most of the book was in Siberia where Rose did nothing but meet awesome Russian people. The audiobook narrator helped with this. Can't resist a good Russian accent! I'm liking Rose more and more. My dislike for the first book probably came mostly from me just not liking her. Richelle Mead is excellent with character development.

It took me a while to finish this off which was weird because I was really excited to read it. It definitely wasn't as good & as fast-paced as the third book. I'm debating on whether to give this 3 or 4 stars. Mead did set up Spirit Bound really nicely in the end & I think the 5th book in the series would be a lot better than this.

Reading a book by Ms. Mead is like being in a roller-coaster ride! This is highly recommended!
