Shadow Kiss continues the story of the main character, Rose Hathaway and her education in becoming a Guardian. Rose 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 tutor Dimitri Belikov, some rules are meant to be broken... Including school rules and the law when she takes her romance with Dimitri to the next step... love. Then a strange darkness begins to grow in Rose's mind and ghostly shadows warn of a terrible evil drawing nearer to the Academy's iron gates. The immortal undead are closing in, and they want vengeance for the lives Rose has stolen

Another solid volume in this young adult paranormal series. This isn't the best series I've ever read, but it's definitely enjoyable and a quick read. I find myself getting more and more wrapped up in Rose's life. I can't wait to see what happens next. What will she do about the whole Dmitri situation? What about her future as Lissa's guardian? Will she follow duty or her heart? Twists and turns...
