    ohmygoodnes!

    i just finished reading this book, and it was absolutely amazing. everyone says they hate the ending, and i'm not too thrilled about it either, but if that didn't happen, i don't think i would've thought it was so amazing. the romance was extreme, the action exciting, and the plot unforgettable. i cried alot at the end, and my whole mood has been shifted into a grieving-ish feeling. i only stopped reading because i was so tired i litterally started shaking, and i woke up and began reading immediently. i thought twilight was the best fantasy world ever imagined, but this definately surpasses all four books. i can't wait to see what happens in the next book. AHH, I LOVE YOU RICHELLE MEAD! =D

    Worth the wait!

    I loved this book. One sitting and those pages didn't have a chance against me. Step aside Twilight, we've got a tougher, stronger, more ambitious heroine for the vampire fanbase. I can't wait until the fourth and fifth books! Keep writing Richelle, you're my hero!

    Amazing! Hope this helps! Please vote this one as the most helpful! Because I think it is. :-) Thanks

    This book, is like no other! There somthing about the books that makes you feel love, affection, jealousy, and fear for the charictors. This book pulls you in, right from the first page! I finished this book within one setting. What can i say? I couldnt put it down. This book is a MUST READ for anyone who loves romance and heart-breaking twists, oh, dont forget: Vampires too!!
    look out Twilight, theres a new book in town, and its working its way up to the top!

    Buy it!

    I had to buy this book even after I read the book I borrowed. Very good book that kept you on the edge of your chair. Not happy with the ending, but it made sense and it made me look forward to the next book.

    The love scene between Rose and Kimitri was disappointing and left me wanting more, but it made sense. I think if it would have gone the other way I would have lost respect for them both. They are both strong characters and that is what made me fall in love with this series. Now if they don't get togehter in the 5th book then I don't know if I will continue reading the series.

    Loved this series

    Omigod, let me just say that I really loved this book. The chemistry between Rose and Dimitri is intense. I read this book in a couple days and I was glad that it was longer than the others. I have to say that I was very disappointed with the end though. I was completely in tears. I don't want to give away the end, but it was a shocker... I was very sad. It will be interesting to see where the author goes with the next book. Still a great read though.

    Shadow Kiss

    This one was VERY emotional. I was very proud of its story line. Even though it was sad. I'm currently reading Blood Promise and I cant put that down either. I love the series and am sucked into Rose's life. Mead makes everything realistic. And exciting. This one is VERY action packed. I read this in less than a day. Some content is for mature audiences, but worth reading.

    Best book in the series 'SO FAR'!

    This would definitely have to be the best book in the series out of the four books so far. It was the most emotional, the most fun, hilarious. I loved it!

    Rose's attitude and personality is fun and unique, but I think in this book specifically she's become more mature and emotional. I think Mason's death had to do with it and the revelation that Dimitri really only loves her and is always going to only love her. And even though they might not be like most couple's (Rose is seventeen, a student, she's aggressive, outspoken, outgoing, talks back to people. Dimitri is twenty-four, a teacher, very skilled and has a lot more experience than Rose). But their a rare couple and they're both very protective and passionate about one another and would do anything to protect each other.

    There's a lot more going on in this book than the others, I think. So much changes from the beginning to end that by the end of the book I burst into tears. Everything seems to go good until those last few pages. That's when everything changes in Rose's world. It's when she has to make a very adult decision about the two most important people in her life.

    Stay and Protect Lissa- her best friend?

    Or save Dimitri- the man she loves- from himself and others around him?

    Read and found out how it ends. . .

    Breathtakingly, beautifully written. Dimitri is a GOD.

    I'm so glad my friends talked me into reading this book. After Twilight, I didn't think there was going to be another novel as good as Twilight. Well it seems like Twilight has some competition now. The first book was a bit slow moving, but man! Whoo, it just keeps getting better and better! Shadow-Kissed made me cry which a very unusual thing for me. Of course I get sad over books, but Vampire Academy had me like... crying because it really digs into your emotions. Dimitri Dimitri. That man is like a God. No offense to your Twilighters, but I can definitely compare him to Edward Cullen. He has this personality that grabs you into the book just like how Edward grabbed us in Twilight. This is one book to remember. I finished the third one in less than 7 hours because it was too... good to put it down. And if I can describe this into one world, I'd say "Fantastic!"

    Steps up

    Shadow kiss takes the characters through a whole new slew of problems, the main character having more and more seemingly piled up against her that she must learn to fight against. Ghosts of lost friends, her own tentative love relationship, her desire to protect and serve by her best friend's side, the affections of an unwanted suitor, the harsh criticism of others all around her, and that's not even getting into the normal day to day drama of high school.

    Shadow Kiss

    I read this book a few months after Twilight and a long time after Harry Potter. Although I can't compare the Vampire Academy Series to the Twilight Saga or the Harry Potter Series. Rose is above all one of my favorite charcters, she's so sure of herself and knows what she wants. The third book has more complexity to her and I love it. Christian seems to grow in the book, and I hope that he's in the future books. Adrian is one of the charcters I'm still unsure of, but I'm starting to grow to his charcter. Although Lissa is not in the book as much I can see why Rose drifts away in the book. And of course Dimitri is a wonderful charcter in the book. But I do wish the ending was different, it's still a phenomenal book to read. I highly recommend the book to anyone who has read the Twilight or Harry Potter books. It will become a new obsession for you.

    EVERYTHING BUT PREDICTABLE!!!

    The Vampire Academy series is addicting, & "Shadow Kiss" is the best yet. As usual, the plot movies quickly, so I read the book in 2 days. There are so many developments, one being that Adrian looks like he will be around to stay. I'm very glad about that; Adrian adds a lot of humor to these books, & he is a little shady. Who knows what could happen with him later?
    I can't give away the biggest change because I don't want to ruin the the surprise for anyone. Rose & Dimitri's relationship is forever changed, but I enjoyed the way that it played out. I think it's a good thing to irrevocably shake things up in a book. Otherwise, the plot gets too predictable. "Shadow Kiss" is anything but predictable. In the last chapter, Rose makes a huge decision, which leads the series into a direction I would have never anticipated, but I know that Richelle Mead will make the next book even better than "Shadow Kiss." Can't wait for more.

    OMG DIMITRI!!!!!

    OMG the ending was so sad, I really want Lissa to find away to turn back Dimitri so him and Rose can be together! the way Richelle writes is amazing, i seriously feel like I know each character personally, and when any of them die, it's like a part of me dies too. I cried so hard when Mason told Rose that Dimitri was turned, I mean a badass like dimitri cannot end up undead!!!!! I really hope he is saved! God, I can't wait for the next book, I hope she writes fast. DIMITRI WILL LIVE!!!!!!!!!

    P.S. i thought it was so sad how Dimitri's tarot cards said he would loose something most dear to him, I thought it was going to be Rose, but it was his soul!!!!! *crying hysterically*

    P.P.S please write fast Richelle Mead, I gotta know what happens to Dimitri!!!!

    A MUST READ

    This book is wonderful. I haven't been sucked in by a book since twilight. I almost let someone who spoiled the ending keep me from reading it would have been big mistake. Best out of the series and Richelle leaves you hungry for more. Get here already summer. If you like books that make you feel like the characters are a part of you you must read this series.
