The plot follows Rose now in Russia pursuing Dimitri but first, she meets Sydney a human alchemist and Dimitri's entire family as well as an older Russian spirit and shadow-kissed couple. I yet again think this could've been a great Sapphic bodyguard trope story but alas. This book was so frustrating as for some reason we go against all of Rose's personality traits and she becomes a drugged-up Stockholm syndrome girlie. AND YET SHE STILL LOVES HIM this is not it guys
2014 (3 stars): I really didn't like this one as much as the first three in the series. I don't know whether or not my impression of the book was effected by my stress from the school work and musical that my show is putting on or not but I really just didn't like this one. It felt wrong and was sad throughout pretty much the entire thing.

Rose spent so much time running in circles and getting side tracked it was annoying. Don’t expect her to see Dimitri until about 325 pages in. From there though things are intense. The nice thing about the slow beginning was there was more you learn about the vampire world in general. The ending is wild so be prepared.

Anywho, this book has some areas that felt like filler...at the same time I totally get that they were necessary to the story. Definitely teared up a few times...and cannot wait to reread the final 2 books.
