About this listen

NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES ON STAN

SALVATION HAS ITS PRICE...

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Siberia, Dimitri's birthplace, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir's - and to her best friend, Lissa Dragomir. It's graduation, and the girls can't wait for their real lives outside the Academy's cold iron gates to finally begin. But even with the intrigue and excitement of court life looming, Rose's heart still aches for Dimitri. He's out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance, and now her worst fears are about to come true. Dimitri has tasted her blood, and she knows in her heart that he is hunting her. And if Rose won't join him, he won't rest until he has silenced her...forever.

But Rose can't forget what she learned on her journey - whispers of a magic too impossible and terrifying to comprehend. A magic inextricably tied to Lissa that could hold the answer to all of Rose's prayers, but not without devastating consequences. Now Rose will have to decide what - and who - matters most to her. And in the end, is true love really worth the price?

I loved every second and had so many times of me being shocked and so many twists and turns

AMAZING 👏

I'd planned to write an extensive review of this book but that was when I felt very passionately about how this book is a waste of paper, words, and time.

While I still believe that, I'm not going to waste my own time pulling apart everything that's wrong with this book when I could simply say that it's a steaming pile of shit and I can't believe that as fifteen year olds my friends and I inhaled this series like we were Darryl Kerrigan standing on his back veranda, breathing in the fresh Coolaroo air, about to proclaim: "How's the serenity?!"

Though this absolute turd of a book is one of the most problematic books I've read—which says a lot since I was a Twilight fan during its heyday—it's not the worst written (or for that matter, edited) book I've ever read. So it gets two stars instead of one. Unfortunately.

Absolute garbage
