Review: Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, book 3) by Richelle Mead

Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, book 3) by Richelle Mead

In a nutshell:  Rose’s bond with Lissa has always been the only effect she has felt from being shadow-kissed. She can sense Lissa’s feelings, location, and even see through her eyes if she chooses to. Now she’s starting to learn that being shadow-kissed links her not just to Lissa, but also to see spirits (just like the spirits, Rose has brushed with the world of the dead).  This book explores Rose’s shadow-kissed state. In other news, there’s a massive Strigoi attack on the school and the romance between Rose and Dimitri heats up.

What I like about this book:

1. The suspense in this book kept me riveted. I couldn’t stop reading! There was so much going on with the love situations and the friend situations and figuring out magic and all that. I didn’t want the book to end, but I really wanted to know how it would resolve.

2. The end of this book is like a punch in the heart. It made my chest ache.

3. I love how the overall story spans the entirety of the first three books, but there’s a stand-alone plot in this one too. I know I said this about the first book, but this is how a series should be done. I was dying to read the next one, but also satisfied at the resolution of the current book.

Drawbacks to this book:

None. This book is fantastic.

Urgency to read:  Extreme urgency for this series if you like YA Fiction and vampires.
