Publisher's summary

The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir��s Academy was the deadliest ever in the school’s history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them . . . including Dimitri.

He’d rather die than be one of them, and now Rose must abandon her best friend, Lissa—the one she has sworn to protect no matter what—and keep the promise Dimitri begged her to make long ago. But with everything at stake, how can she possibly destroy the person she loves most?

Back to school! Listen to more titles in the Vampire Academy series.

What made the experience of listening to Blood Promise the most enjoyable?

it was a light read. easy to follow while doing other things

Any additional comments?

Best narrator in the deried so far

I love this series and have read it in hardcopy twice. I have just finished listening to blood promise and I feel that this narrator was the best so far. To be honest, it was a little hard listening to the first three because the narrator‘s natural voices were high to begin with and by the time they got to doing less his voice it almost made her sound like a chipmunk. I am about to purchased the next in the series and hope that it is the same narrator and if not someone who has a naturally deeper voice when portraying Rose.

Nice Story Line and Plot

I read these when I was younger and never finished the series and was looking for more options in audiobooks (was using libraries). I like to have books playing in the car while I drive. So I re “read” them. Just as cute as they were before and I am glad I finished the series finally. It IS YA that’s for sure! Wish they had a series like this with adult MC’s and spice. But it was good.

Great book

Great book not a fan of the narrator, The voice for Adrian and Dimitri is awful. Lol Dimitri reminds me of Count Dracula. They used a different narrator than the first 3. I wish they would have used that narrator because having a good narrator can make or break an audiobook.

Great book, bad narrator

I LOVED Blood Promise, as much as Twilight if not more. The whole series is great, can't wait to see what happens next. BUT was not happy with the narrator at all, it was very disappointing to go from the first 3 books, the last 2 having the best narrator Khristine Hvan, who made you feel as if you were part of the story, to this narrator who just made it frustrating to keep up with, the worst being Dimitri and Adrian voices. Please got back to Khristine Hvan.

Great!

I love this series, however the music in the background in some parts of the story was distracting.
