Publisher's summary

Dimitri gave Rose the ultimate choice. But she chose wrong...

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri's birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir's - and to her best friend, Lissa. It is nearly graduation, and the girls can't wait for their real lives beyond the Academy's iron gates to begin. But Rose's heart still aches for Dimitri, and she knows 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 now he is hunting her. And this time he won't rest until Rose joins him...forever.

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

I don't know really, I loved the whole series. This is the first series that I have read in this genre

It feels like the person is actually talking to you.

Loved It !!!! Cant wait for the next book.

I really enjoyed this book (series), Cliffhanger at the end wants me wanting more and now i have to wait. Is the Last Sacrifice (Book 6) really the last book of the series? All i can say the Vampire Academy Series is great. i like the Narrator of this book she does the voices of the characters well and i dont get bored with her.

Loved it

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes becuase Emily is such a great reader.

What does Emily Shaffer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does accents very well, if that makes sense. Not that many readers can bring out a character like she can.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Toward the end I was very moved to want to read the next book at once.

The gang is back together

Rose and Demetri will never catch a break! Strigoi Demetri is pursuing newly graduated Guardian Rose and it does get exciting. The last book left you excited to see what happens next and this one leave you saying,"Wait! what? That is the middle of a chapter not an ending!" I really hope they land on a recurring narrator for the next one. This narrator was so distracting that it took away from two of my favorite characters [Demetri and Adrian] Her male voices were terrible and distracting. I loved the story, but my advice would be to preview before downloading. The narrator nearly ruined it for me.

AMAZING BOOK! Bad Narrator

The book so far is pretty amazing! :D
though the narrators voice for Adrian is so ANNOYING she makes him sound really ugly i usually like the narrators but i can't stand her.

Best VA book yet!

I loved this book. Blood Promise bored me a bit but Spirit Bound more then made up for it. Full of surprises, twists, a love triangle & even a couple of cliffhangers. Rose Hathaway is a kick-butt narrator and Adrian Iashkov can make a girl swoon. You're left wanting the next (and last) book. The narrator was good, not as good as Khristine Hvam but good.
