Definatley something to consider...maybe.

I have been poundering and poundering this in my head... Could jil be Lissa's sister. isnt her mother a dancer in vegas or something??

just curious.

Detroit. I just reread the entire series in preperation for Last Sacrifice. It still could be though. We don't know much about Jill and just because her mom isn't in Las Vegas now doesn't mean she wasn't. There is never any mention of a dad either.

I think Richelle wants everyone to believe it's Jill so we'll be surprised when she reveals that Lissa's half-sibling is actually someone nobody considered.

It's possible Jill is her half sibling. She seems like the best candidate-there's no mention of her father and her mom's a dancer plus if I'm not mistaken, she's one of two non-royals that we've met. Sure there are a ton of them but we've only come to know 2 and I really don't think Mia is Lissa's sibling. I could be wrong but I truely don't think it's Mia. So unles it's someone we've never met, or one of the other royal's kids, then my guess is Jill. But Richelle is good at throwing twists in so you just never know...

I think Jill is a good guess. But isn't it possible that her half sibling could be somebody we haven't even met yet???


*edit...
My reasons for thinking it may not be Jill have to do with the fact that Rose goes on a journey, possibly to find this person? I mean they kinda already know where to find Jill, either Detroit or VA...

And on an Interview Richelle said they would be traveling down south... I think that was the interview Wilda posted from Amazon.

yea i totally agree about it not being Mia and all. Since Mia already knows her father, and her mother dies from a strigoi attack. But i also agree about Richelle throwing us all off, shes definately good at that.

Ughhh this is so frustrating. I guess i have to be patient for Last Sacrifice to come out. Still... Jill is my best guess. and i also have to agree that it could be someone not mentioned in the other series.

I want to know more about how sydney fits into all this? Her character has a bigger purpose than most of us would consider???

seriously!! i forgot about her. Shes probably one of the people who would help rose get out of jail. if she does try to escape, which she probably will, knowing her personallity and all. She diffinately came into the series late, but she most liikely will be in the Last Sacrifice alot. but who knows whats in Richelle's head. XPPP

I think Sydney will be someone helping Rose find Lissa's sibling. I can't see her taking part in the escape but I can see her helping Rose with finding the sibling.

yeah I completely agree with you about her helping find lissa's half sibling. I really don't think she had anything to do with the murder but she may know or be able to find out who really did.

hmmm I haven't considered that she could help with finding the murderer. I def think we'll see a lot more of Sydney in LS. Specially being that she's one of the 4 characters in the spin-off series.

Wow! Sydney helping with the murder. I cant really see that. But she could have, i mean she has access to the Information that got stolen about Lissa's father and all that. maybe she helped who ever get that info.

sydney's people hate all vampires/moroi/ and dhampires alike perhaps it was one of them who killed the queen in an attempt to take them all down. "Collapse the crown and you collapse the people" sort of thing.

true they certainly do. But aren't they all afraid of Abe tho. I mean in the books Sydney seemed very scared of him, so are everyone else. But it could be, they do have access to the information about people.

Someone did break into their place and steal the file on Eric Lissa's father. I read that someone thinks whoever stole that file is who killed the queen. But I always thought it was Ambrose who broke in and took that file. Remember how at the beginning he is gone to do something and comes back around the time that the Royals pass the Dhampirs graduate at 16 rule. It wasn't long after that when Rose talked to Sydney. I figured he broke in got the info and thats how the queen found out.

I really don't think it was an alchemist who killed the Queen. Def not Sydney. She may think Rose is still an evil creature btu she wouldnt frame her.

we just have to put all the possibilities on the table, when i finished Sb I had that gut feeling that it was ambrose too. Now that I have time to think I realized there are so many motives and so many directions that this story can take. I can't wrap my mind over the fact that this is the last novel. I've always looked forward to these books I am in no hurry for them to end or to over analyse LS i really want to make the book last. No matter how it ends my heart is still going to break, it's the end of an erra, of rose and dimitri.

Gosh i feel the same... but didnt Richelle say on her Website, that they'll be more VA books, but just from different peoples point of views.

yeah she did but i won't be the same. Rose will make a cameo but thats it.

I'm with you Jill. As impatient as I am to read LS I dread it. I have a feeling I'll be crying from page 1 til way after I finish the last page lol. I already get teary eyed just thinking about it-sad I know. Its hard to believe that this will be the last book about Rose and told from Rose's pov. And we have no idea if any of the others-Dimitri, Adrian, Christian, Lissa, Eddie will even be in the spin-offs. Even though i can reread the series anytime, I am really going to miss everyone

geee i totally feel the same. and don't worry i cry too. Xpp

There are so many possibilities, that I think the real sibling has already be mentioned....

Jill could be the sibling. But I really have no idea who it vould be. Regarding me, everyone fits.....

I too believe it' someone who has already been mentioned. It'll make the book better and more dramatic if its someone who has been introduced already.

Like I said Jill is the most likely to be the sibling but it really could be just about anyone.

Yes i agree Jill is the obivoius choice for the long lost Dragomir line, and i really think its too late for new characters to join, i mean the book is only 400 some pages long and with everything else that has to go on theres just not enough time....so, Lissa's 18.... her half-sibling should prolly be younger than her, or maybe the same age, but if theres an account in vegas how would Jill's mom who lives in detroit not transfer the account to detroit? seems kinda odd. And if it's nathan the blonde strigoi hes kinda a lost cause as hes in siberia last time we knew, and didnt Dimitri kill him? I think Sydny is the key to the information but not anything relevant herself as she is still terrified of being around Rose, the one she knows the best. and very much a human. but RM said Rose goes down south and Sydny is in New Orleans

Dimitri said he killed Nathan. We never actually got a death scene for Nathan so it could be possible that he is still alive. My reasoning for thinking he's the half-sibling is because Richelle gave us some hints that there may be more to Nathan that we don't know about yet. Nathan said he knew Lissa and Rose. When Rose was being held captive in Siberia Nathan made it no secret that he had some kind of grudge against Lissa. He kept pestering Rose about wanting to get his hands on her and never let Rose forget that he knew Lissa was a student at St. Vladimir's Academy. In Shadow Kiss Rose also mentioned that Nathan looked familiar to her. Another thing I thought was odd was Richelle giving Adrian's father the same name as the strigoi that awakened Dimirti. Giving the same name to two different characters in the same series is a big no-no in writing, not to mention the fact that there are also millions of other names she could have chosen for Adrian's father, so I don't think the name recycling was at all a mistake or a coincidence. It looks to me like Richelle is purposely putting Jill in the spotlight so she can yell out "SURPRISE!" by revealing that Lissa's half sibling is actually the last person everyone expected.

Rose mentioned in Blood Promise that Nathan looked like a teenager. It sounded like he was a relatively new strigoi so it's possible he is the same age as Rose and Lissa.

True! hmmm.. my guess is still Jill though.
