Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead
5.0

This is by far my favorite book in the series so far. I can't believe i waited so long to read this series. Its amazing.

This book was a non-stop ride. I loved all the stuff that was going on with Rose, she's an incredible main character. Dimitri of course how can you not love him! He's so freakin' hot, and sweet and kick ass!! I'm really liking Adrian too he's really growing on me and i find myself smiling when ever he's in a scene. Christian is another who i really like i love his attitude and snarky comments.

Now Lissa on the other hand, i'm having some real issues with, i actually liked her in the first book, oh how things change. She's portrayed as this super innocent beautiful Moroi . When really all she is is a self centered bitch. I actually hate her. She's all super intellectual within the court and the politics but shes so naive to what goes on around her it's unreal. Her BEST FREIND'S been in love since near enough the time they arrived back to the academy, and did she notice? NO. Yet Adrian did, and hes not known her ever a quarter as long as Lissa. Rose is having all these issues with the ghosts and thinking shes going crazy but what is Lissa more bothered about? Her boyfriend and her stinkin' magic. CONGRATULATIONS to Lissa Dragomir for the worlds WORST best friend. Okay maybe thats a bit much but seriously... Rose is about to go try
Spoiler KILL
the man she loves, the trips undoubtedly going to be dangerous and shes already heart broken torn up inside yet she wants Rose to
Spoilerstay with her.
Why? she'll be protected and it's not like she spends all her time with Rose as she spends more time with Christian lately anyway. I was SO SO SO proud of Rose for her little outburst and not giving Lissa what she wants like she usually does.
Okay so thats my rant about the Last Dragomir Princess... -_-


I really enjoyed the stuff that was going on with Rose in this book ( and i dont just mean Dimitri ;) haha) the ghosts and her brushes with insanity where really good to read about and i really enjoyed these aspects of the story.

Ahhh the ending... it was such a happy ending don't you think? Who am i kidding i think i sobbed through the last 10% of this book with my stomach in a knot filled with suspense and dread.

For some reason this series really reminds me of the Evernight series by Claudia Gray this series is WAYYY better bear in mind... must just be the school thing.. I'm starting the next book as soon as i get my ass home from work tomorrow.. this suspense is killing me already!
