It’s not a feel-good story—dread, loss, and hard choices are the islanders’ lot. As a study of courage and loyalty tested, however, it is an utterly compelling read.

This series truly does improve with every installment. Mead's plot and characters continue to grow stronger as she weaves a tale full of powerful Moroi and their intimidating, dangerous guardians known as dhampirs...Shadow Kiss is the best book in the series so far.
