jennlevine 's review for:

Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead
4.0

That ending made me angry. Angry angry angry.

But the book was really beautiful. And probably one of the best depictions of "the act" since "Forever" by Judy Blume. Way better than that "other" well-known vamp series.

All-in-all, VA is shaping up to be amazing. I'm glad it's a duo of trilogies and that I have three more books left, plus the spin-off Bloodlines.

Richelle writes a lot of laugh-out-loud funny lines. Had it not been for Rose's humor in this book, a good portion of it would have been a bit too whiny. Fortunately, Rose (and also Christian and Adrian) have a knack for the sarcastic that really makes you think of the characters as real and not fantasy. Anytime where a character reminds you of a real life person or is full of real world humor and wit, it's a good thing.

Ready to start the fourth ASAP.
