Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead


Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead is the 6th book of her series 'Vampire Academy'.

When you hear 'Vampire', you would think "Oh, that book's silly, it's like Twilight, all sparkly vampires that stalks a human girl..." Though you're wrong, this book is NOTHING like Twilight. Literally.
There're 3 types of vampire: Moroi(good), Dhampirs(half human, half vampire) and lastly, Strigoi(evil ones, you DON'T want to mess with them). Dhampirs are offsprings of Moroi and another Dhampir, usually Dhampirs are guardians, protectors of Moroi because Strigoi(evil), just loves to drink Moroi blood because it makes Strigoi stronger. Dhampirs have to protect Moroi because they need Moroi to survive for future generations etc.
Anyways, Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir and she's a shadow kissed(brought from the dead) guardian of Lissa Dragonmir, her best friend. However, in this book, Rose was accused of a Queen Vampire murder that she didn't do. Her life time is getting shorter and shorter each day so her friends who think that she's innocent helped her escape from her prison. She's on a journey with her former teacher and lover(until she got rejected), Dimitri, though Dimitri was a Strigoi before(got bitten) but now he's back to his former self after Lissa healed him.(evaluate? read the book.)
Rose is confused because now her best friend, Lissa is running for an election for the new ruler to kill time and she was on her journey with someone she dated(kinda). On their journey, they still love each other but can't because Rose would be cheating on her current boyfriend, Adrian. Things are getting complicated. Rejection, love, death, runaway, anxiety, confusion are all smacking back at Rose. Will Rose clear her name? Can she ever love Dimitri again? How can she run away when there're people(dhampirs) are chasing her? Well, read the book(series) to find out!

I really liked this book because of it's genre which is adventure, suspense, horrow added with romance together. My favourite character is Rose because she's the narrator and also she's very protective of her friend, Lissa. Sure she's brutal and violent and all but the author described her as soft hearted as well. I really loved this book but sadly, it's the last of this series...
