Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead

lilradridinghood's review against another edition

3.0

The best part of this book is Rose and Christian's friendship. But Rose is still so bratty and I don't see why two guys like her so much. I do appreciate how the story has Rose weighing the meaning of her duty after being told "they come first" all her life. I just wish it didn't take the form of her being in love with a much older man.

The last book had a fair bit of action at the very end but it was nothing compared to this. We learn more about spirit, see Victor again, see ghosts, and kill more Strigoi. Hold onto your hats folks.
