            Blood Promise is the fourth book in the Vampire Academy series written by Richelle Mead. The series is many readers’ favourite vampire series. In addition to that, the series is now all over the hype as the film based on the first book has just came out in the US. For those who don’t know what Vampire Academy is, it is a Vampire series like no one out there. It’s that original especially because of the original world Richelle Mead created for these vampires.

            Dimitri and Rose made once a promise to each other. If one of them ever became strigoi, the other will have to go on and kill the other. Then Rose had to keep her promised, so she leaved St. Vladimir and Lisa and set curse to Russia, where Dimitri had last been seen.  However, once in Russia she will have to find the exact location from Dimitri’s hometown. In addition to that, she will meet some people who will helped her, others who will made her journey even more complicated, and some answers to questions she didn’t even made.
While Rose goes fight her way to Dimitri, Lisa will find herself in a place she didn’t expected. Rose running away wasn’t something she expected. Nonetheless, that isn’t going to be the only thing she didn’t expected that will happen.

            Blood Promise was a quite peculiar book, especially regarding the pace. In he beginning it was really slow, and I felt I couldn’t get into it. After a while, almost by the half of the book, things suddenly start happening in such a brisk pace that seemed impossible. I highly enjoyed this last half of the book. Actually during this part you can see how well planned Richelle Mead’s world is. The only thing was that the ending, maybe, seemed a bit rushed, considering the calmed the pace was at the beginning.
Another thing, which I think might be taken into account, it’s the predictable events that take place on the book. There are lots of things that were predictable, especially if you read quite few YA books, or if you’ve seen teen movies. I don’t mean that everything was predictable, there were, of course, some surprises. Nevertheless, the predictable matters were quite topical that it disappointed me, I expected more from this series.


In conclusion, Blood Promise was definitely an average book.  In my opinion, it was clearly a midway book. One of those books that are clearly the transition between two books in a series. It prepares you to the next one. However, I recommend this series if you like kick-ass female characters, either you are looking for a new different vampire series.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
