This is the much-anticipated 4th book in the Vampire Academy series. While there are other "boarding schools and vampires" series out there, this one blows them all away.
Rose has just dropped out of school, to follow Dimitri. She heads for Siberia, sure that he will be found there. She finds his family and tells them the news from book 3, and stays with them for a while. She continues to check in on Lissa, but there's not much Rose can do half a world away. When Rose finally finds Dimitri, she has an emotional struggle like nothing she's ever known before. Certain death stares her in the face at least 3 times during the book, but she manages to keep pushing through the physical and emotional pain. Rose returns to St. Vladimir's at the end of the book, to be reunited with Lissa and heal. Just as she agrees to finish school, a huge surprise finds her and Rose must once again prepare for battle.
I realize this post is rather vague, but I don't want to give anything away to those who haven't read the third book, Shadow Kiss. It felt like there wasn't much action in places, but the story didn't drag. I really care about Rose and I really hope she figures out a solution to the big surprise that hits at the very end of the book. Lissa is becoming a better person, and even Adrian is growing up a little bit. I think this is the best book yet in the series, and I give it an 8.5.
