Blood Promise (Vampire Academy, Book 4) by Richelle Mead


Blood Promise is a huge disappointment and doesn't get interesting until around page 420.

I love the series and wanted to know what was going to happen to the characters Mead has beautifully constructed so I sucked it up and keep on reading.

Blood Promise is NOTHING like the first three books. It fails to entertain and leaves you wondering what the writer was thinking.

A few moments are exciting but not enough to keep the entire book "alive" especially since they happen near the end.

If you are collecting the series, save your money and wait to get this book in paperback or from a used book store.




Grade: D



Synopsis (B&N)
How far will Rose go to keep her promise?

The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir's Academy was the deadliest ever in the school's history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them. . . including Dimitri.

He'd rather die than be one of them, and now Rose must abandon her best friend, Lissa—the one she has sworn to protect no matter what—and keep the promise Dimitri begged her to make long ago. But with everything at stake, how can she possibly destroy the person she loves most?
