Frostbite: A Vampire Academy Novel by Richelle Mead

Synopsis:
Rose loves Dimitri, Dimitri might love Tasha, and Mason would die to be with Rose... It's winter break at St. Vladimir's, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy's crawling with Guardians--including Rose's hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if handto- hand combat with her mom wasn't bad enough, Rose's tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, and her friend Mason's got a huge crush on her. The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy's not taking any risks....This year, St. Vlad's annual holiday ski trip is mandatory. But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only create the illusion of safety. When three friends run away in an offensive move against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. But heroism rarely comes without a price...

My Review:
Loved this one too! We are taken to a different setting away from the Academy to a ski resort. I really hate the description of this book on Richelle Mead’s website because it makes the story, the characters, and their problems sound trite. I have to confess I have a serious crush on Dimitri and pretty much love every scene he is in (and yes I know he is not real, I don’t need that clarification). I love how Dimitri and Rose’s relationship continues to grow. While Rose tries to move on and give her friend Mason a chance we know who she has already given her heart to. We are introduced to Adrian who makes suggestive comments and smokes like its going out of style but you can’t help but like him. We also meet Rose’s mother Janie Hathaway which adds to the strain that Rose is under to be who she is without her mother’s disapproval. Man, my heart started racing when Rose’s friends went off to hunt Strigoi. I was not sure how that one was going to end but it kept me reading and I was highly entertained throughout this book!
