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 hand-to-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...

OMG what a book!!! You have to read vampire academy first to set the seen (which is a good book), however this book should come with a hazard warning that says "when you start reading you can not put it down!!
it's a book in a leaque of it's own as my title says "totally fantastic"

For Rose Hathaway, life as a Guardian-in-training at St. Vladimir's Academy is never easy.
While her best friend, future charge, and sole remaining member of the royal family member (Lissa) may no longer be in direct danger, the Strigoi (those vampires who drink blood, possess super-strength, have red pupils, and also have no qualms about using their powers over the elements as a method of attack) are still the greatest threat facing their Moroi counterparts.
Rose and her number-one crush, instructor Dimitri Belakov, discover just how significant this threat is when they arrive at what should have been Rose's make-up Qualifier exam with famed Guardian Arthur Schoenberg. What they find instead is seven royal Moroi, massacred in their own home along with their Guardians - and evidence that the Strigoi are now being helped by humans.
With Christmas vacation drawing near, St. Vlad's is on high alert and not terribly inclined to unleash their students into the great wide world. A school field trip to an exclusive Moroi ski lodge is the perfect solution, not just for a Moroi seeking to elude the Strigoi, but also for Rose, who's looking to escape two recent female campus arrivals - one of whom has a history and penchant for flirting with Dimitri.
What guests from St. Vlad's and elsewhere will soon realize, though, is that their enemies are much closer than they think.
FROSTBITE is an engrossing, complex paranormal follow-up to VAMPIRE ACADEMY, with a page-turning plot and deeply layered characters, whose growth and development over the course of the novel is believable and (in some cases) inevitable. Though there were a few scenes that lagged, I had a hard time putting this book down even for necessities like eating and sleeping.

WARNING: Contains Spoilers
I fell in love with the series from the first book, and with the smart-mouth, impulsive Rose and the sweet, charismatic Lissa, and Frostbite definitely didn't let me down.
Told for Rose's point of view again, with glimpses into Lissa's via Rose and their unique psychic bond, the book is fast paced, exciting and just as addictive as the first. It starts with a brief introduction to the characters and the story so far, before diving straight into Rose's boy trouble and a huge Strigoi attack that leave both the Moroi and the dhampir worlds reeling.
And from there, Richelle Mead just drags you in with more and more action, romance and suspense. She had me completely hooked until the end. Going from Rose's many boy troubles to the more sinister worries of what the Strigoi will do next, and more importantly: what - and if - the Moroi and the dhampirs are going to do to stop them...
Once again, I have to say just have to say how much I love Rose. She has this way of looking at things: she can go from being slightly petty when it comes to certain subjects to being completely oblivious to her own safety when it comes to keeping her best friend safe. It's really rather refreshing and often very funny. I love the impulsive side of her: the one that makes her so sarcastic but I also really like it when she shows the side that makes you see just how calm and mature she can be: once again, when it comes to Lissa.
Lissa is still selfless as ever, struggling slightly with her element the spirit, but just as loveable as before. Her boyfriend, Christian, really makes me laugh, too, even if he really annoys Rose, and I like his complete devotion to Lissa: it's really cute.
I really love Dimitri, as well, with his Zen-life-lessons and responsible way of looking at things.
All in all, another brilliant book of danger, vampires, death, romance and more than a little violence, that somehow manages to make you laugh one minute and have you hooked from the suspense the next. I loved Frostbite even more than the first book, and once again I loved Richelle's way of writing and her story line that grips you from the word go. I honestly can't wait to read about more of Rose's escapades and the world she lives in: just love it!
