Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, Book 3) by Richelle Mead
Amazon: Is Rose-s fate to kill the person she loves most? It-s springtime at St. Vladimir-s Academy, and Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation. Since Mason-s death, Rose hasn-t been feeling quite right. She has dark flashbacks in the middle of practice, can-t concentrate in class, and has terrifying dreams about Lissa. But Rose has an even bigger secret . . . .She-s in love with Dimitri. And this time, it-s way more than a crush.Then Strigoi target the academy in the deadliest attack in Moroi history, and Dimitri is taken. Rose must protect Lissa at all costs, but keeping her best friend safe could mean losing Dimitri forever...
Okay, first of all, the book was nothing like this. Most of is was about Rose and Lissa traveling to the Queens Court and testifying that the villian from the first book did in fact try to murder them and that he should be put in jail. When they get back to the school it's guardian exam time and Rose has to protect her charge from "attacks" by the school's senior guardians for six weeks. Plus she's been seeing what appears to be Mason's ghost and Dimitri still maintains that their relationshio can never happen. The last chunk of pages is when Strigoi attack the school and Rose, with the help of Chrisian's fire power, fight to take back their school. And I don't remember Rose having any dreams at all, unless you count the one at the very beginning when she slipped into Lissa's head and accidently saw her making out with Chrisitan. Yep, absolutly terrifying that was (/sarcasm). And it might have been billed as early springtime, but there was snow throughout the whole book and that's not what I come up with when I think "spring". I can only think that the person who wrote that review only had a general idea of what this book was about. I'd give it a B+. Although Mead left herself in a bit of a sticky situation at the end and I hope that she doesn't commit one of my reading pet peeves, leaving the characters in a tense situation at the end and then taking everything back that they've accomplished just so she could end it on a cliffhanger. I doubt it, though.
