Rose Hathaway knows it is forbidden to love another guardian. Her best friend, Lissa--the last Dragomir princess--must always come first. Unfortunately, when it comes to gorgeous Dimitri Belikov, some rules are meant to be broken...
But since making her first Strigoi kills, Rose hasn't been feeling right. Something dark has begun to grow in her mind, and ghostly shadows warn of a terrible evil drawing nearer to the Academy's iron gates. And now that Lissa and Rose's sworn enemy, Victor Dashkov, is on trial for his freedom, tensions in the Moroi world are higher than ever.
Lying to Lissa about Dimitri is one thing, but suddenly there's way more than friendship at stake. The immortal undead are on the prowl, and they want vengeance for the lives that Rose has stolen. In a heart-stopping battle to rival her worst nightmares, Rose will have to choose between life, love, and the two people who matter most... but will her choice man that only one can survive?
drey's thoughts:
Well, Richelle Mead doesn't disappoint with this next Vampire Academy book--there are lots of things going on, and it's non-stop from page one to page 443.
In addition to thinking she's seeing ghosts, Rose's mood swings are crazy bad. And when she finds out what happened to Vladimir and Anna, she understands the latter. So here's yet another secret she's keeping from Lissa... And when their field experience assignment pairs her with Christian instead of Lissa, Rose begins to think her world might be royally messed up.
Shadow Kiss will have you gripping the book till you're done. And boy, what an ending. I cannot wait for Blood Promise...

I read the first one but wasn't all that impressed. I might just have been in a mood because this certainly does sound interesting enough to warrant another try...
