My Rating: 5.0

I think if I could give it more than 5 stars I totally would! This book made my heart burst!

This series has really turned out to be one of my all time favorite and DEFINITELY better than The Vampire Academy Series. The characters have so much depth and they are all stellar individuals, and then you bring them all together to make a really great group of friends.

Richelle Mead is beyond talented.. She really has the gift of explaining personal battles going on within one's self. She's really good at weighing the pros and cons of every situation, making you understand the character's thought process before making a decision.

So much happens in every book and the intensity and chemistry between the characters grows and grows and I swear I thought my heart was going to explode at the end of this book. Finally, FINALLY Sydney comes to terms with her very real feelings for Adrian and stops fighting it. Finally, at the very end, she tells him he's been right all along and finally, they kiss in a "more romantic spot then Pie's N Stuff". And then I died.

Sydney's sister showing up at the very end was totally unexpected and will definitely make for an interesting situation in the next book. I can't wait to see how it all plays out.
