I just love to read! For me, it is a way to escape and discover new worlds, to do things you never thought possible, to explore emotions and feelings through words, and I can do it all in the comfort of my imagination. And even though they are not real, I believe the characters you meet in books can change your life and the way you see the world, if you let them.

Shadow Kiss: A Vampire Academy Novel by Richelle Mead

Synopsis:
Rose Hathaway knows it is forbidden to love another guardian. Her best friend, Lissa - the last Dragomir princess - must always come first. Unfortunately, when it comes to gorgeous Dimitri Belikov, some rules are meant to be broken ...
But since making her first Strigoi kills, Rose hasn´t been feeling right. Something dark has begun to grow in her mind, and ghostly shadows warn of a terrible evil drawing nearer to the Academy´s iron gates. And now that Lissa and Rose´s sworn enemy, Victor Dashkov, is on trial for his freedom, tensions in the Moroi world are higher than ever.
Lying to Lissa about Dimitri is one thing, but suddenly there´s way more than friendship at stake. The immortal undead are on the prowl, and they want vengeance for the lives that Rose has stolen. In a heartstopping battle to rival her worst nightmares, Rose will have to choose between life, love, and the two people who matter most ... but will her choice mean that only one can survive?


My Review:
Another great one! In this one Dimitri and Rose’s relationship is taken to a whole new level when they realize they cannot ignore the feelings they have for each other anymore. I think I have a love/hate relationship with this book which I am not going to explain because I do not want to spoil anything. We finally get to see Rose show everyone what she can do when all the guardians are having their final exams. We also get more detail about what exactly it means to be shadow-kissed and how that affects Rose and the bond between her and Lissa. This one still had lots of tension, great lines, and full of action! I have enjoyed them all so far but I am wondering how this is all going to play out considering what happened in this book. Going on to the next book to find out!
