Frostbite (Vampire Academy #2) by Richelle Mead
Rose and Dimitri come upon a Strigoi attack, the likes of which are never seen. The attack sets off book two in this series. Guardian are being brought in to reinforce the Academy over winter break. Rose's estranged mother Janine (a famous guardian) appears on campus in time to set Rose off, just as the whole vampire culture is being shaken. The Moroi are faced with deciding if they want to uphold tradition and let the guardians keep them safe, or should they learn to use their magic and help defend themselves?
Rose has little tolerance for what appears to be Janine's haughty ways and lack of maternal instinct. Rose also has to face the fact that she can't have Dimitri and she should start looking for love elsewhere. She begins seeing Mason, a close friend. Mason and a group of other friends decide not to wait for the Strigoi to come to them.....they run away from the posh resort in Idaho, where Moroi families have gathered for safety. Rose, of course, feels she must rescue them.
Rose seemed to come into her own in this book. I admit liking this book better than the first one. Rose's love life picked up, she became palatable, and the other characters rounded out better. It turned out to be very entertaining and I immediately picked up book #3.
Rating 4 Not serious high quality literature, but still fun.
Rating R Swearing, violence, alcoholism, sexual aspects.
