Frostbite (Vampire Academy, 2) by Richelle Mead
I think I liked this second one better than the first! The story continues pretty much right where we left off with Rose and Lissa. Rose is still trying to catch up in her guardian training with Dimitri (made only slightly awkward by the events that happened at the end of the last book) and Lissa is working with a teacher specially to help her train and find out what the magic of Spirit will mean for her.
The real action starts when Rose and Dimitri take a little drive (5 hours) so that Rose can take her Qualifier exam as a guardian. When they arrive at the house where the legendary guardian lives they find that the entire Moroi royal family that lived there as well as their guardians have been murdered by the Strigoi and that humans possibly had a hand in helping them take down the magical wards guarding the house.
All the sudden things are different in the vampire world - parents of students come to the Academy for Christmas and with it comes their guardians as well (including Rose's mother, the legendary Janine Hathaway). The entire school is taken to spend the Christmas holiday at a huge ski resort in Idaho so that they can pool their guardians for protection. Lissa is spending more and more time with her boyfriend Christian and Rose is having a difficult time of thinking about anybody but Dimitri even though she's been trying to move past them with her friend Mason.
Nothing is ever easy for Rose but she does learn and grow a great deal more in this book than in the last. She's reckless and headstrong but has her friend's best interests at heart and she's a really terrific character.
