"Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with a rare gift for harnessing the earth's magic. She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest vampires-the ones who never die. The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir. Rose is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making Lissa one of them.
Rose has serious guy trouble. Her gorgeous tutor, Dimitri, has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason has a huge crush on her, and she keeps getting stuck in her best friend Lissa's head while she's making out with her boyfriend, Christian.
Then a nearby Strigoi attack puts St. Vladimir's on high alert, but the Academy whisks it's students away on a mandatory holiday ski trip. But the glittering winter landscape and post Idaho resort only provide the illusion of safety. When three students run away to strike back against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. Only this time, Rose-and her heart-are in more danger that she ever could have imagined."
Okay, wow.
I really loved this book. I loved the drama, and the excitement. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it sure as hell kept me on my toes.
Dimitri and Rose were totally awesome in this book, as expected. This series is really good and I strongly suggest it.
Here's some of my favorite lines.

"It's time for practice."
He shook his head. "No. No practice today. You still need to recover."
"I've got a clean bill of health. I'm good to go." I pushed as much patented Rose Hathaway bravado into my words as I could.
Dimitri wasn't falling for any of it. He gestured to the chair beside him. "Sit down, Rose."
I hestitated only a moment before complying. He moved his own chair close to mine so that we sat directly across from each other. My heart fluttered as I looked into those gorgeous dark eyes.
...
"I. . ." I shut my mouth before my jaw hit the floor. "But. . . why? That was a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You could have had a baby. And she . . . she was, you know, into you . . ."
The ghost of a smile flickered on his face. "Yes, she was. Is. And that's why I had to say no. I couldn't return that . . . couldn't give her what she wanted. Not when . . ." He took a few steps toward me. "Not when my heart is somewhere else."
