I just finished this book a few minutes ago and I immediately got onto my laptop to write this review. I didn't take notes while reading this book, though. I've had so much work to do and I only read it late at night. But, I just knew I HAD to review this one. When I started Vampire Academy, I was just looking to read something with vampires included because I was in a slump and that's all I seemed to be interested in. I've had Vampire Academy on my shelf for quite some time now (By that, I mean years) and I read the first book back in middle school. I remember most of the basics so I didn't reread it. I just went right into the second, and now I have finished the third. Shadow Kiss takes place after some traumatizing events in Frostbite and Rose is having a hard time dealing with them. She begins to see things, people, Mason in particular and she's determine to figure out what's going on. People think it's just her way of dealing with grief. But, Rose finds out a more serious reasoning behind her visions and it all turns into insanity. I didn't think I was going to get hooked on this series. I truly thought it was just going to be a fun read for me to get out of this horrid slump. WOW. I was wrong. I'm addicted and attached! I love Richelle Mead's writing. It was so entertaining, I didn't want to put it down. I don't think I let go of this book today while reading it. It's so fast paced but you don't want it to end. I can't believe i'm half way done with these books. She writes paranormal romance in such a captivating way. I want all my friends to read these books and feel the emotions I did while speeding through this book. Not only do her endings have one gigantic shocking moment, but I felt like there was at least 4 that tore my heart into pieces. I just hope that book four will put my heart back together. 
 I'll be posting my spoiler review on my blog here.
