Is Rose's fate to kill the person she loves most? It's springtime at St. Vladimir's Academy, and Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation. Since Mason's death, Rose hasn't been feeling quite right. She has dark flashbacks in the middle of practice, can't concentrate in class, and has terrifying dreams about Lissa. But Rose has an even bigger secret .... She's in love with Dimitri. And this time, it-s way more than a crush. Then Strigoi target the academy in the deadliest attack in Moroi history, and Dimitri is taken. Rose must protect Lissa at all costs, but keeping her best friend safe could mean losing Dimitri forever...

Summary: Tragic love story anyone?
Comment: Please do not get me wrong I thought this book was amazing. The writing was incredible and the story telling and character developments were extraordinary. However, I was so let down by the ending of the story that I could not allow myself to give it anything above a two star rating.

I read this series all at once and I could not help but feel drawn in by the romance that was shared between Rose and Demitri. In every book I was impatiently waiting for them to give in to what they were both feeling and ignore the rules of their unique society. I was beyond delighted when this finally occurred in the book "Shadow Kiss". After days of becoming attached to the characters and their possible relationship I was so let down in the end. It became almost painful to read and left me very upset and slightly depressed.

Richelle Mead managed to redeem herself a little by finally allowing Rose to stand up to her friend Lissa. Not that Lissa is a bad character but it was very depressing to watch Rose sacrifice any ounce of happiness to please her best friend. I couldn't have been more proud when she finally decided to do something for herself.

The author is truly gifted and this series is certainly worth anyone's time. It is just my hope that you are not looking for or expecting a happy ending. If you are wishing for a fairy tale like finish then I assure you this book will let you down.

I am excited to see where the story leads us in the next book and it is my desire that Rose finds some happiness in the end.

Summary: Heart Wrenching!
Comment: Shadow Kiss completely wrapped its every last word around me and choked me silent with anticipation every turn of a page. Rose has finally realized that there is a bigger meaning to being "shadow kissed" then just sharing a powerful bond with her best friend. In this realization, changes start to surround her in a negative way.
She starts to question her life, her relationships, and her supposed delusions. In conclusion, even without having all the answers, one thing is unquestionably certain, her unconditional love and devotion to Dimitri and later she learns that the feeling is utterly mutual. Two halves to make the most beautiful and perfect whole.
Protecting Moroi always comes first, as is the dhampir motto. During the heat of battle and finding the whereabouts of the enemy by way of a dear friend who had since past. Things spiral downward and never stop until it reaches complete darkness.
I have been weeping for a few days every so often I ponder about the book. Always thinking of how things could have been different if only they may have taken the opposed approach; but since Rose's maturity and discipline has risen way beyond her years, it seems the only explanation is that it was just meant to be the way it proceeded, how ever morbidly devastating it was. Anxiety and depression has set in as the wait for what Ms Mead will throw at us next. Bleedingly heavy on the heart, yet I could never get enough. The series gets better and better.

Summary: You have to read this series!!!
Comment: I love this series! This is what you follow Twilight with. That is all you need to know. Read these books and you won't be disappointed. These characters are as easy to love as Bella and Edward, but with more to lose. The twists and turns of the plot are well thought out and keep you suprised. But my favorite thing is of course the love story.
