Spirit Bound (Vampire Academy, Book 5) by Richelle Mead

Man oh man, was this book worth the wait! Mead did not let me down. There were a few times where I was exasperated by Rose, as usual, but I can look past it.

In this book, Rose and Lissa graduate from St. Vlad's and move into the Moroi Court, where vampire royalty live. Rose is continuing to receive letters from evil Strigoi Dimitri that scare and devastate her. After learning about the possibility of healing Strigoi with Spirit power, Rose and Lissa head out on a crazy adventure to learn all the details of turning one back from the "dark side" of vampirism. After all, she wants Dimitri back to his old self if it's possible, much to the chagrin of her honey Adrian. Rose is her typical reckless self, but you're able to see her maturing and realizing her wrong. Lissa is growing in Spirit ability and in maturity. Adrian is proving to be quite a catch. And Dimitri surprises us all!

There are a lot of twists and the surprises get thicker the further you venture into the book. The ending is a complete cliffhanger. And October, when book 6 is to be released, will not get here soon enough! If you haven't read this series, go and start it now!
