Shadow Kiss

I like Rose. She's strong, opinionated, loyal and smart. Unfortunately, I accidentally started reading Blood Promise, which is the 4th book in this series, so I spent the entire book waiting for a dreadful thing to happen. It colored the entire book in this bittersweet mood, but it was still a good read. Especially compared to other teen vampire novels like the House of Night series (that sucks big time) and Vampire Kisses (which is fun, but nowhere near serious).

Rose is struggling with her desire and drilled in idea that she needs to stay with Lissa, to protect her and also her budding wish to do something for herself. When she starts seeing ghosts she goes back to St. Vladimir's history to see if her fate is already written for her.

This whole book is sort of a turning point for Rose. I can't wait to see what happens next!
