Rose Hathaway's Song to Dimitri Belikov; YA Love Songs #1

**Spoiler Alert for those who haven't read Spirit Bound, #5 book in the Vampire Academy Series**

I have found the ultimate perfect song for Rose to sing to Dimitri in Spirit Bound after Lissa brings him back from the dead. I heard this song and it all just clicked.

Song's Name: I'll Stand by You

Oh why you look so sad
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cause I’ve seen the dark side too

[This first verse is just when Lissa changed Dimitri. He was weeping in Lissa's arms; Cause I've seen the dark side too? When Dimitri was Strogoi? Rose had seen his dark side too, but she still loves him and wants to help him with his new life]

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

[I mean, how obvious is this? No matter how many people Strogoi Dimitri killed, no matter how many f up things he did while being turned will change how Rose feels about the good Dimitri]

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

[She wont even let the official guardians touch him. She didn't let Eddie kill him in Spirit Bound, nor Dimitri's old mentor turn Strogoi, she actually helped kill that one]

Just Wondering Wednesdays *4*

So to participate every week is pretty simple. Every Wednesday I will ask a question about something I am wondering about and all you have to do is answer and use the Mr. Linky I provide. Now if lets say your not really interested in my questions or are maybe wondering some other bookish things that you want to discuss, then your post can be about what your wondering about this week. Simple?? I

So I was wondering which book has made you want to throw it or chuck it across the room because it got such a strong emotion out of you and why? Ex. (Mad, WTF, Sad, NOOOO!)

- 

So far I think there have been two books that have made me want to chuck the book right at the wall. I was so pissed but I couldn't throw it because I had to keep reading.

 Book # 1 Spirit Bound: Richelle Mead

•  Spoilers if you have not read Spirit Bound!
• The scene when Adrian and Rose were about to have sex. I was screaming NOOOOOOO! So since I screamed no at the book Rose and Adrian did not have sex. It was worse!! She let Adrian bite her. I was so peeved you would not believe how upset I was at Rose. I know it was a moment of vulnerability but man I was upset. it still gets me all riled up. Especially when she flicked her hair accidentally and Dimitri saw the bite. My heart stopped! 

Book # 2 City of Bones: Cassandra Clare

• Spoilers if you have not read CoB or CoG
• How pissed was I when I was rooting for Jace and Clary only to find out they are siblings?  VERY!!!!!! I was so mad Cassandra Clare did this to me. I mean it was the ultimate impossible love. I felt so mad at myself for not guessing it sooner and felt grossed out! But man was I happy when I found out they weren't related because I so wanted them to be together!!!

I would love to hear your thoughts on my question or if you guys have been wondering anything worth discussing?

DIMITRI HOT!

I know i can never shut up enough about Vampire Academy but I really loved this pic I found on Shadowkissed.com. They are trying to be the best comprehensive Vampire Academy fan based site. This was drawn by the artist Emma Vieceli who is drawing the Vampire Academy Graphic Novel.

Just like Shadowkissed.com said where is the human version of this man. He's super hot (for a drawing lol) but I loved how the artist captured the essense of Dimitri. Serious, strong, godlike, intimidating and HOT!!

What do you guys think??

Amazing!!!! Vampire Academy Review told through PIctures Must SEEE!!!

"Vampire Academy Review As Told By Stick Figures

You know how sometimes you love a book so much that written reviews just don't do your feelings justice? And so you're forced to make potentially embarrassing videos to convey your feelings instead?


Oh? No? That's just me? *Shrugs*


My thoughts on the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, told through stick figure drawings, 'cause...why not?"

Review: Last Sacrifice: Richelle Mead

Title: Last Sacrifice
Author: Richelle Mead
Vampire Academy Series: Book 6
Summary:
Rose Hathaway has always played by her own rules.

She broke the law when she ran away from St. Vladimir’s Academy with her best friend and last surviving Dragomir Princess, Lissa. She broke the law when she fell in love with her gorgeous, off-limits instructor, Dimitri. And she dared to defy Queen Tatiana, leader of the Moroi world, risking her life and reputation to protect generations of dhampir guardian to come.

Now the law has finally caught up with Rose- for a crime she didn’t even commit. She’s in prison for the highest offense imaginable: the assassination of a monarch. She’ll need help from both Dimitri and Adrian to find the one living person who can stall her execution and force the Moroi elite to acknowledge a shocking new candidate for the royal throne: Vasilisa Dragomir.

But the clock on Rose’s life is running out. Rose knows in her heart the world of the dead wants her back… and this time she is truly out of second chances. The big question is, when your life is about saving others, who will save you?


Cover:
   I really liked this cover. The girl is very pretty and it ties in very nicely with the series! Although I do like  some of the international covers for this series.
My Review:
I absolutlely love this series. (spoilers)

I am so happy Dimitri was with Rose throughout the whole book. I literally was so nervous when Dimitri was at th end of that hallway to help break Rose out. I knew he was going to be part of it he just had to be. I was laughing so much when Rose tricked Dimitri into a kiss just to punch him after. I wanted them to fall back in love; just like the way they originally had.

I really have not found any two characters that belong together the way these two do. I feel Richelle did an awesome job of showing us again why they belong together. Richelle did an awesome job at reminding and rekindleing their love for one another. There love was never i just met you so I love you and am obsessed with you. It has always been something that grew from similar morals, personalities and many other amazing things.

Although I had figured out who was Lissa sister before I read LS, I didn't know for sure who killed the queen. Wow I was surprised. The ending felt a little rushed but I think that was purposely done for many reasons. I think Richelle left those loose strings purposely for Bloodlines.

I am very happy to see Lissa being as helpful and supportive to Rose even though they weren't necessarily together. I'm so happy Rose and Dimitri ended up together. Even though I grew to like Adrian a bunch I knew he was never meant for Rose. I think Rose said it perfectly (She has never named herself the victim), and that right there says a lot about her character. She has always needed someone to have the ability to take care of her even though she can take of herself and not once did I ever think Adrian was able to be that person for her.I was upset that there wasnt much closure for Adrian, but i think Adrian will have his happy ending in Bloodlines.

I was upset of how Rose and Lissa lost the bond, but I guess it is way better for Rose. She has lost that darkness and doesn't have to worry about Lissa all the time. I think in a way the Last Sacrifice was Rose jumping in front of Lissa before she got shot.Just for the simple fact that was ultimately the last sacrifice to literally save Lissa's life while having that life time of darkness being taken away from that act.


I really loved this series, Richelle has an amazing was of making theese characters so real and I am so happy she created this beautiful world. She is an amazing author and is Officially the best. Thanks so much for this amazing Journey!!!

Review: Vampire Academy: Richelle Mead

Title: Vampire Academy

Author: Richelle Mead

Vampire Academy Series: Book 1

Summary:

St. Vladimir's Academy isn't just any boarding school—it's a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They've been on the run, but now they're being dragged back to St. Vladimir's—the very place where they're most in danger...

Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy's ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world's fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.

Cover:

   I like this cover because the girl looks so much like Angelina Jolie. But I do wish this whole series had a different set of covers, just because amongst other books in the store it didn't really stand out.

My Review:

I absolutely love this series. 

OMG Wat an amzing book!! 

The thing that i loved most about this book is how independent and strong Rose is. Though she can get a little over excited and say things she shouldnt, I think that is what makes her such a likable character. She is very easy to relate with.She's very realistic because she's strong and an amazing friend but she isn't perfect. 

Another awesome thing about this book is Dimitri & Rose's love for one another. I like that it wasn't "the moment i saw him i knew i loved him" kind of thing it was a genuine attraction and relationship that built up and made them fall for each other. They understand one another and Richelle Mead just makes you want to fall in love with him while routing for them. 

I love that rose isn't self involved and is very responsible. I think this is DEFINATE MUST READ for people that loved twilight, or that love a great paranormal romance, or just want to read and amzing book. All the characters are well devoloped and you begin to care for them. 

I loved this book!! This is one of my top 3 favorite books 

                                                              5 STARS

Review: Shadow Kiss: Richelle Mead

Title: Shadow Kiss

Author: Richelle Mead

Vampire Academy Series: Book 3

Summary:

For Rose Hathaway, everything seems out of kilter. Ever since she made her first Strigoi kills, a dark shadow has been creeping over her. Looming in the background, too, is another realization: If she follows her forbidden love for guardian Dimitri Belikov, she might lose her best friend forever. And these sleep-shaking worries couldn't have come at a worse time. The immortal unloving are prowling everywhere, famished for vengeance against her. An adrenaline-laced episode of the teen pop favorite Vampire Academy.

My Review:

I really loved this book. One of the reasons was because Rose has grown up a lot and is more and more mature. She has gone through so much by this time that you cant help but love her for being so strong.
*** Alert Spoilers Below****

I think this book shows how amazing Rose really is. Among her regular stresses shes deals with, she's now dealing with mason's ghost following her, crazy amounts of anger, and taking all that darkness from lissa. She's also trying to be more adult with the whole dimitri situation. She's not resulting to childish behavior like in Frost Bite.

I feel like this book really depicts how much Dimitri really loves and cares for Rose. There really was so much foreshadowing in the previous books and especially this one, that you cant help but wonder what is going to happen.

I know that this book might not have been liked for its ending but it really was an amazing ending. In shadow kiss you really can see how serious Dimitri and Rose are about being guardians and you see how talented they are. I'm also very in this book because Dimitri opens up to Rose.I love how he finally let his guard down for Rose as well seeing her for what she is.

He even started thinking about their future together. Now as for the whole Dimitri turning strigoi thing, it was bound to happen. Richelle foreshadowed this in vampire academy, and I think it needed to be done. This book is definately one of my favorite from the whole series.
