Ok so I have a guilty secret... I'm ok with what I found out about Kaname and Yuki... gross right? I do read a lot of Egyptian and Greek myths so the concept isn't new or exciting. Vampire 8 leaves us with not a cliff hanger ending so much as too much information, then a sudden black out. You find yourself gasping for breath with everything that was disseminated, then it gets taken away and not to be revealed until next year.

Wow, Zero plays a very small role, but his relationship with Yuki is becoming strained to the point of breaking apart completely. And Kaname, I don't blame him and I don't really think of him as self serving. He plays a political game yes, but ultimately everything he does and plans to do is to build a world where Yuki will be safe. That's the reason he founded the Cross Academy, that's the reason he protects her and loves her, everything is for her. Man I'm telling you people I want to be Yuki.

This manga got 5 stars because it divulged more information then the last installment, and had more going on then the smoke and shadows from book 7. The author/illustrator is also my top favorite and if you haven't already check out Meri Puri... fantastic, also the anime is also to die for.

Ok, ok, one last thing, there are absolutely amazing drawings of Kaname and Yuki on the chapter pages of the manga.... woah... that's all I can say!

This volume of Vampire Knight is a rollercoaster of melodramatic goodness that fans who like what they've seen so far will eat up.

With his usual mix of honorable care and sleazy self-service, Kaname reveals to Yuki the secret he's been keeping from her since her childhood - and it's a whopper. He also puts her in a position in which she's finally forced to start facing her feelings towards the mysterious, frightening object of her attraction and the childhood friend she's sacrificed so much to save as the Yuki/Kaname/Zero triangle comes to a shocking head in the wildest, most sordid turn it's taken yet. And as she reels in what might be the most difficult moment of her life, the most interesting friendship in the series takes a touching turn as Aido, who for all his cattiness is probably Yuki's only real friend in the Night Class in his own way, offers her a shoulder to lean on. Meanwhile, Ichijo desperately struggles to be Shiki's voice in the matter of taking down Rido as the possessed boy begins the battle for his soul...

Anyone who loves to hate Kaname is really going to get into this one, as his ability to do both the right and wrong things in the same volume are on full display. With Zero in a heartbreaking situation and Aido at his most human, stumbling awkwardly but still managing to be there for Yuki almost in spite of himself with quiet empathy that's probably even surprising himself, the volume is everything that fans like about the series most.

I just got done reading the book for the second time and I'm still with a huge question mark over my head. i just dont get that Yuki and Kaname are siblings but there not. Dont get me wrong I love the book and the series but i just wish they had explained it in more details. Or maybe I personaly didnt get it. But i look forward to reading the rest of the series in the future maybe than i will understand better.

My 14 year old loves this series. Her birthday is coming soon so i purchased her 3-10 of the series. She has read 1 and 2 and was hooked. I probably will end up giving her another book before she turnes 15. Reading is great.

When I first saw this book i just had to buy it so i did and as soon as i had purchased it i read it right away and had read it within half an hour to an hour because i love Vampire Knight soooooo much!!!!! :D ^-^

My daughter loved the book she is a big fan of Vampire knight can't wait for the next Volume.

I have loved vampires since I was five years old and this series is great I hope to read more.

Vampire Knight is great! Of course, if I didn't think so, I wouldn't be collecting them. This volume is especially exciting: lots happens, lots changes...but I won't give anything away!

my 14 year old daughter loves these books. She especially loves how they are written back to front. this gives these books an authentic asian feel.

Oh My Goodness. This volume was probably the best out of all of them. It has been awhile since I have read the book (waiting on Vol 9), but can actually still picture that scene where Yuki is starting to "wake up" from her dream. I was a little grossed out about the whole brother/sister thing, but the way that it was explained was that she was raised with the family, but she was not his true blood sister. Yes she is part of the same family, but not his actual sister. It was confusing to the point I had to re-read that scene over again. But it was really romantic when he told her to "wake up" and them he bit her. Flash forward a little and she drinks from him. A true love story.

This volume also answered the question on why Yuki didn't turn into a vampire since Zero was not considered a creature of the night. In a previous volume it was mentioned that if a person was bitten by a vampire, then that is the level vampire they would turn into. Yuki never turned into anything. But now we know why.

I feel bad for Zero in a way because Yuki has always been with him and sorta taken care of him. He now has to make the very dangerous decision of whether to continue to care for her or to try and kill her.

I really do like Kaname and even Zero was on my liking list. Now things have taken a turn and now hearts are going to be put to the test.

Can't wait til Feb. for the next volume. We want it and we want it now.

Keep being creative. Thank you.
