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, her friend Mason's got a huge crush on her, and Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa's head while she's making out with her boyfriend, Christian! 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...

Summary: Keeps getting better
Comment: I loved this book. I thought the first one was great and was glad the second did not disappoint. I'm still hoping that Rose and Dmitri can find a way to be together. Christian is growing on me and we even see a softer side of Mia. I'm debating but I might actually be enjoying this series more so than the Twilight series. It might be because I don't have the irritant of Jacob Black's character. He just bothered me in the Twilight books. We start to see a little bit more of Dmitri's background and see him acting a little more human. I thought the addition of the royal, Adrian, was an interesting twist and am anxious to see where they take things.
Stop here if you don't want any spoilers.
I'm glad Rose and her mom sort of smoothed things out between the two of them and that Dmitri decided to stay at the academy even if he cannot be with Rose. It sucked that Mason was killed but I'm glad to see that Mia might actually see some happiness or at least not so much bitterness. It looks to me like Rose is somehow absorbing Lissa's dark side so it will be interesting to see what happens with that in the next book. I love this series so far and was torn when I heard there was a fourth book. I want to know what happens but I know I will also be bummed once I'm done with the series.

Summary: It Really Was Great!!
Comment: I bought this book when it came out because I had read the first one in the series. I liked the first one but didnt really love it,so I said since I already did read the first,lets try Frost Bite. I was so sure it was going to be boring that I did not read it for months till part 3 came out. Well, let me say how I wasted month's, because the book was amazing and just full of surprise all the way through. Omg the end was so sad and touching it really made me cry( something I never do!)but their I was crying like a baby. By the time I finished this book I knew that I would be reading every book to come out in this series. The author is very talented and will not let us down. So for anyone in the position I was in, thinking should I continue with the series or not after the first....Yes do take the risk and you will not regret it. If I could give it more star's I really would.

Summary: I'm Not a Big Fan of Vampire Books, But...
Comment: I'm not a huge vampire-book person (I've never had a taste for Rice, and I though the Twilight novels were horrid), but Mead really is something special. More important to her style than the vampire fantasy is the mystery-and-suspense aspect. The fantasy is just a tool, but I can't imagine that a lover of fantasy wouldn't love this, too.
The problem, though, is that Rose and Dimitri's relationship doesn't seem strong enough to survive a test, though it does. It takes away, I think, a lot from Mead's (otherwise masterful) character realism.
Mead is still witty and her series is still fun.

Summary: Amazing!!!!
Comment: This book was seriously amazing. It had everything to make it a truly well rounded story. I have read many many vampire books, and this is one series that really stands out from the many.
