Shadow Kiss, the third novel in this exciting series, was quite a bit darker than the earlier books (except for one part in the first novel). Adrian Ivashkov seems to be a regular feature in Rose and Lissa's lives now and Lissa's spirit abilities are under a lot of scrutiny.
When the campus is attacked by Strigoi, it's up to Rose and the other guardians to protect the Moroi and other dhampirs in the Academy. They succeed in doing so, but not without a few casualties. They then stage a rescue mission into the caves where the victims were taken and again, most are saved...but some are not.
Including Dimitri, Rose's soul mate. But he doesn't get killed...no, he's turned...into a Strigoi, the very creature he'd dedicated his life to destroying.
At the end, Rose embarks on a mission to kill Dimitri in order to save his soul, just as she'd promised him she would two books earlier.
Read this book because it's amazing, but prepare to have your heart broken along with Rose's.
