Wow is what I have to say after reading Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead. This is the third part to her Vampire Academy series. This story follows Rose, Lissa, Dimitri and Christian through their "adventures". I'm not sure if that is what I should be calling them though. Rose starts to learn what it really means to be Shadow Kissed. She finds out that she will eventually become crazy from Lissa's use of powers. She also finds out because she had died once she has a connection to the after life. A connection that gets stronger as she kills. She can now sense Strigoi and see ghosts. Strigoi attack the school while Mason warns her from the dead. During the attack the Strigoi kidnap a few of the people off campus. Of course a rescue mission ensues, where Dimitri is attacked. Rose finds out that Dimitri became a Strigoi. Well of course I was crying like a baby. Screaming to the heavens "WHY Dear God WHY!" I'm upset, come on who wouldn't be? I feel so bad for Rose. Her love is pretty much dead. The book ends with Rose running away because she believes she has to kill Dimitri. In the first book he claims that is what he would want. Yes I shed tears during this part as well. C'mon knowing the love of your life is changed for the worse, now she is on a mission to kill him. This book definitely did not end on a happy note, for that I am glad. Don't get me wrong I love books that end happily, but just having such a depressing ending actually left me with a good feeling. I want it to resolve happily. I don't want her to kill Dimitri, but with Richelle I now know that I will be surprised. I like surprises. I already have a copy of Blood Promises from the library. If you have read any of these posts you have to notice what a nerd I am. I will start this novel right away. AHHH I'm so excited!
