Vampire Academy Series – Richelle Mead Vampire Academy Last Sacrifice Book 6 Review

Posted by on January 14, 2011 · Leave a Comment

With Last Sacrifice being the last (official) book of Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy Series (book 6), a lot of questions get answered, but leave it to Richelle to end the book with more questions being asked. What a great way of keeping the Vampire Academy story alive!

Despite this book completing the Vampire Academy series, Richelle is currently working on a spin-off series of these books entitled Bloodlines, which focuses more on the side character’s stories than Rose, Lissa and Dimitri.

Last Sacrifice picks up right where Spirit Bound (book 5) leaves us- with Rose locked up because of her being accused of murder. When Rose’s lawyer (who also happens to be her father) Abe, comes to deliver some bad news, Rose’s trial gets bumped up from her possibly being convicted in a couple months, to being two weeks away!

Vampire Academy Series- Richelle Mead Vampire Academy Spirit Bound Book 5 Review

Posted by on January 14, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy series book 5 Spirit Bound starts a few weeks after book 4 Blood Promise ends. With Rose thinking that she had succeeded in killing Dimitri, she was quite shocked when, after re-enrolling herself back in St. Vladimir’s, she was getting weekly letters from Dimitri. Rose had to put those thoughts of Dimitri, coming to hunt and kill her, away because now it was time for her final exam-the exam that would allow her to graduate to a full Guardian!

Success came quickly for Rose, despite the Guardians needing to craft a special exam specifically for Rose, given she already had real field experience. After everyone had finished their tests, it was time to get the “Promised Guardian” symbol tattooed on their backs, to show they were full Guardians. The graduation ceremony came and went, and once everyone was finished they all headed over to the Royal Court to have the new Guardians be picked by the Royal Moroi who graduated school as well and now needed their own Guardians. Rose, of course, had her own plans-to break Viktor Dashkov out of Tarasov Prison to locate his brother Robert, who was another spirit user, who had the Spirit power to restore Strigoi to their old Moroi/Dhampir selves!

Christmas Holiday Stress: 5 Ways to Reduce and Manage Holiday Stress

Posted by on December 16, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The holidays are upon us again, and those who enjoy them welcome them with open arms. Others however find that they’re stressful, what with having to spend money, plan parties, put up decorations, and conform to general holiday cheer.

It’s not unheard of for modern day Scrooges to whisper “Bah, Humbug!” under their breaths even as they go about pretending to enjoy the holiday season. They’re not to blame for their wet blanket attitude; prolonged stress and forced holiday cheer can make disbelievers of most people.
