Rose Hathaway knows that she wants to be a guardian. In particular she knows she wants to be a guardian for her best friend, Dragomir Princess, Lissa. Forbidden to love another Guardian, Rose, is of course in love with another Guardian. Dimitri is the rule that needs to be broken but if they are both assigned to Lissa when she finishes the Academy it will be even harder for them to be together.

Something is wrong with Rose but she isn't sure what. Her special link with Lissa is as strong as ever but now Rose is seeing things and getting headaches. She has a feeling that something terrible is coming her way but nobody is happy to believe her. Trying to put together the pieces and keep her mind on her field assignment, Rose is nearing her eighteenth birthday and graduation. The question is will she live to see either one of them?

Shadow Kiss is the third book in the Vampire Academy series and could actually be the best yet. While some of this series reminds me of 'The House of the Night' series by P.C and Kristen Cast this series also has its own uniqueness. Mystery for young adults with a paranormal setting this series has great characters and great story lines.

Well thought out and breathtaking, Shadow Kiss leaves everything open and the ending ensures that all readers will be back for book four.
