(Summary from Goodreads.com)

Review: I've loved this series for a long time (although not as much as I love Vampire Academy) and I was thrilled to finally get to read Silver Shadows. Already, I'm counting down the days until The Ruby Circle a.ka. the end of Vampire Academy.

Richelle Mead's writing gets better with every book and this one was very well written. It was funny like always, which is why I love her books.

This was honestly my favorite book of the entire series. It had everything I wanted: character development, unpredictable plot twists, and Sydrian. There was so much Sydrian and it made up for all the waiting.

Not only that, but Sydney keeps getting less annoying every book. This was her best as she didn't irritate me at all, but she never bothered me that much.

Everything was fantastic. There were even a few parts where I had to gently set my book down and freak out. Just a little.




I can't believe I have to wait until February 2015 for The Ruby Circle, but let the countdown commence.
