extremely fast service. I ordered the product and within days of ordering it arrived. would recommend this service to anyone. (also i bought 2 items at the same time so that i would receive the free shipping feature, which is always a welcome added bonus).

WOW I waited anxiously for the release of this book for 8 months and I was not disappointed. I got right into this book from the first page, I imagine because the cliff hanger of the last book was so big! I love this series, I've read a lot of the supernatural and vampire books out there and this is definitely at the top of my list. I don't only love the romance in these books, but I love the friendships between the characters. This book was no exception they are there for each other, no matter what - they will risk everything just to help out and not even know why they are doing it... only that they were asked! The romance is more subtle in this book compared to the last one, but some how is just the perfect amount. Rose is confused, Lissa is jealous and the journey all the way through to the last page is fabulous. This book in true Vampire Academy fashion ends on a big cliff hanger as well.... I know the last book is going to be amazing and I can't believe I have to wait another 7 months for Sacrifice!!!! Oh the torture...

I find it very challenging to review this book because it was good in so many ways that can't be explained without spoilers. But worry not, this review is Spirit Bound Spoilers Free. I will do my best to express you the passion I felt reading this book, but I'm afraid it's beyond what words can explain.

Spirit Bound starts back at the Academy, it's finally graduation time and Rose has only one more challenge in front of her: The Trials. A final exam planned by guardians to test their ability to protect Moroi "in the real world". But what worries Rose the most is the after-graduation. She always thought it rimed with freedom but reality hit her in the face. She will spend her life protecting Moroi and her own desires won't matter anymore. There's not only the weight of responsibilities though, she knows Dimitri is out there, lurking in shadows, waiting for an opportunity to kill her.

In this installment, Rose is more determined than ever and will use extremely illegal ways to reach her objectives. Desperation to save Dimitri, while she still can, drives her actions and consequences won't be light. She is not risking only her future and her life but also the ones of people she loves.

When we love a book, we all say "I couldn't put it down", well in this case, I loved the book so much I HAD to put it down and take deep breaths because it was just too much. Love, Passion, Treason, Fear, Sadness, Grief, all these emotions laid on paper in a so intense way it almost became unbearable. At times I couldn't believe my own eyes, events happening in that book triggered reactions in me that are beyond words!

I really love both Rose and Lissa for their very distinct qualities, and even though they are very different, they have one thing in common: they would do anything for each other.
Adrian is as snarky as ever but we get to discover a new side to him. I really like the guy and it's clear he cares about Rose and I loved to watch them together.
Dimitri, oh Dimitri! He broke my heart in Blood Promise and Spirit Bound wasn't any easier. At times I really felt like hitting him in the head to knock some sense into him and even though I would have a lot to say, I won't spill the beans and ruin surprises. I will mention though that chapters 20 and 24 nearly killed me.
I was glad that Abe was in SB, he didn't play a major role but it was nice to have him around and I think he will have a bigger role in The Last Sacrifice.

The end is as usual a cliff hanger, if suspense could kill Richelle Mead would be in danger of trial for massive murder, because I really don't know how I will be able to wait until December to know how this epic story ends.

Vampire Academy is my favorite series and Richelle delivered. Spirit Bound was action-packed, full of surprises, emotions and magic. I was in awe so many times during this book, it really was fabulous.
I think Shadow Kiss is still my favorite of the series because I'm such a romantic but Spirit Bound is very close second.

I really hope Rose will have her happy ending in The Last Sacrifice (even though the title doesn't point that way), she's been through so much, she really deserves her happily ever after.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It!!!
Richelle Mead did a great job with Spirit Bound. I couldn't put the book down, it has everything comedy, romance, suspense and much more. I can't wait for Last Sacrifice.
