A review by goodyeargoodbooks
Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead

4.0

4.5 stars, rounded to 4. After dwelling on my feelings for the previous two ‘Vampire Academy’ novels (and subsequently moving their ratings up from 3 stars to 4) I ploughed on with the series with a much greater appreciation than I had before, to discover that I actually really love it. The third instalment was easily the best one so far, and I absolutely adored the route the story took (even if it was slightly heartbreaking). My previous issues regarding not quite liking the narrative style and hating Adrian with a passion do remain, but overall this was one of the most enjoyable things I have read recently. Saying that, while I really wanted to rate it 5 stars, there was a niggling voice in the back of my head that wouldn’t quite allow it, so I have settled on 4, but that rating may very well change, and I am waiting impatiently for the fourth book to arrive so I can continue.
