Maria will save Zero but only if Yuki sacrifices herself or defies Kaname's trust and hands over his corpse. To save Zero from becoming a Level E, Maria makes Yuki a proposition. It turns out she is Shizuka Sama, the pure vampire that killed Zero's Vampire Knight Family and gave Zero his life as a vampire hindering him from exacting revenge on her, which is ultimately the only thing Zero is after. In this book, the true identity of Maria Kurenai is unfolded. Matsuri Hino is truly a master of her craft, no doubt! The detail and thought she puts into her characters, drawings and scenes is shear perfection! I just stared at those pages because they were drawn so beautifully. I loved the scene where Zero was tutoring Yuki and she notices something is wrong with him. Some of the artwork where Zero and Yuki were depicted together were absolutely magical! This series keeps getting better and better and Vampire Knight 4 is no exception! I loved this installment. Any recommendations for series similar to this? Send them my way! I am eating this series up! I will continue to binge this series until I run out of books in my hands. Overall, this gothic fantastical romance is definitely what I needed to fill in my time. They are so cute and are totally the swoon worthy YA romance I needed in my life. The cliffhanger drove me absolutely wild, but thank goodness I already have the next volume within reach! To add to all of this, the romantic lines in this book KILL ME. It's totally pulling me in as a reader and I can't wait to grab the next volume. Also, a person from Zero's past makes an appearance and changes the trajectory of his story. He knows something is going on, and clearly is going to make a move of his own. Also, Kaname is way smarter than he lets on. Yuki cares for Zero and wants to make sure he's safe and well, but she might have to go too far to make sure that happens. Maria is definitely NOT who she said she was, and man is she causing some drama for our leads. I'm still really digging this series, especially since we're getting into the meat of the drama and action. Another day, another Vampire Knight Volume.
