This book is one of my bibles andis definitely my favorite in the series so far. Blood Promise came outearlier this year. It wasn't as full of Rose/Dimitri action as I wouldhave liked. Maybe I will review that next! I think this book and seriesdrew me in because sneaking around is so sexy. Forbidden love seems tograb me by the hair and pull. This series and its author hold a specialplace in my heart. Go out and pick this up, you wouldn't want me to sendmy Strigoi henchmen after you!
