"It was so exciting to know that Dimitri lasted this long in the series being a Strigoi without being killed off the story. Her relationship with Moroi is very interesting because that is the first real relationship described in the book. She never had an open relationship with Dimitri. It is a fun way to learn how their world function and their relationship are in question of lasting a lifetime. It is a shocking ending that Dimitri is brought back to life! I was getting really frustrated with Rosa and Dimitri and how they react to each other. They do love each other, period! Their love never had faded. What's even worse that left me totally hanging for the next book is the crime Rose hasn't committed. It was shocking! I know the next book is the final one. I am afraid to know what happen at the end. I wish this story would go on. It's nice to be inside their world. This is definitely the best book than the previous book. It just keeps getting better and better. This book is a must to read but the readers must begin from the first book in order to understand the story as it progressed."

— Ester, 1/21/2014" This book was amazing! I loved how it ended as a cliffhanger. Every book that I read from this series I admire Rose more. This book had many surprises that I don't want to spoil. But if you read all the other books in the series you should defiantly read this! "
— Amanda, 1/17/2014" Dragged out and although some parts of the plot were important to the series, I felt that it was building up to the final book rather than being a book in it's on right. "

— Angel, 7/5/2013" By far the best book In the series!! I really really like Adrian, but I have a feeling that flame is going to be short lived. I anxious to start the final book!! "
— Meagan, 5/14/2013" Definitely one of the saddest lines I've ever read - Love fades. Mine has... But I guess Dimitri would come around (although if I was Rose, I would never ever (EVER) forgive him for saying that :P). It's Adrian I'm worried about. I don't want him to get heartbroken. But it's inevitable. "
— Palak, 4/24/2013" An amazing book. Totally LOVED it, it was intense and very thrilling. Spirit Bound is the type of book were you simply can not put it down! I'll admit the ending was sort of abrupt, but it will leave you thinking untill you get the next book in the series!! "
— Jenny, 1/23/2013" oooh!! i forgot about this major cliffhanger!!!!! "

— Maree, 9/6/2011" omg this book was the best! i love adrian. the plot was really good and we see so many of the characters we love. i couldn't believe how the book ended. the next book will be awsome. "
— Sayjil, 5/21/2011" This series feels incredibly well thought out. Or has it blissfully fallen together through a brilliant muse? As a writer I love to know how such stories come about.<br/><br/>And I'm finding myself more and more Team Adrian. Is that wrong? Is that a thing? Should be!<br/><br/>Next! "
— Ally, 5/21/2011" Still as tragic as the one before it. Damn I need the next one! "
