Our rating

Spice 1/5 Darkness 2/5

Spice: barely any. Darkness: some dark moments.

Rose is a half-vampire bodyguard in training, and her best friend Lissa is a Moroi royal. They get dragged back to St. Vladimir's after two years on the run, and her mentor Dimitri is extremely off limits. Mean girls, compulsion and blood, all very 2007.
