Episode: Ski Resort Frostbite (vampire academy #2) by Richelle Mead


Buzz before the winter ski trip: a royal Moroi family and their guardians were killed by Strigois and it seems that they had help from humans.  Lissa has a boyfriend, Christian, and they’ve become anti-social.  Rose is developing a jealous streak.  She’s thinking of just having Mason as her boyfriend to get over Dimitri.  Dimitri seems to be attracted to a royal, Tasha.  Mia is still a bitch.  Rose’s mom, Janine Hathaway, is in the academy and gave her a black eye.  Rose was inside Lissa’s head when she had sex with Christian.  Rose found out from her mom that Dimitri might leave the academy to be Tasha’s guardian and would probably have a baby with him.
During the ski trip: they found out that another royal Moroi family got killed. Those who were not killed got taken by Strigois, still with help from humans.  Mia’s mom got killed with the family.  Tasha is advocating the use of Moroi powers to protect themselves.  Rose’s hot ‘n cold routine with Mason, got Mason so mad that he, with his friend Eddie and Mia, went out to search and kill Strigois.  Mason dies.  Rose kills 2 strigois and got her first Molnijas. There’s a new royal moroi in the academy, Adrian Ivashkov, who also uses spirit powers like Lissa. Dimitri is not leaving the academy.


I loved this book.  I loved the action.  I liked the feeling of frustration when Rose found out that Mason left to search for Strigoi.  Rose was blaming herself for it but I was more like, that guy’s stupid, he’ll die! And he did. Don’t hate me but I truly felt that it was his time to go.  I felt the helplessness, fear and tension when they got captured. Also the rage while Rose was decapitating the strigois.  I also loved that Christian was a part of the action and not just the boyfriend. I wish his power gets stronger coz I think it’s bad ass.  But what I loved most about this book are the Rose and mom scenes.  I almost cried in the end.  I was able to relate to the feeling when you wanna say pour your guts out to your parent but you can’t coz you don’t have that kind of relationship with them.  You wanna hug or get a pat on the back but you don’t get it coz your family doesn’t do the mushy-touchy-feely stuff.  But your still happy coz they’re there for you.
