Learning to decapitate and stake is hard enough, but Rose's real danger may lie in an illicit romance with one of her instructors... Book 3 Shadow Kiss What if following her heart means Rose could lose her best friend forever? Rose Hathaway knows it is forbidden to love another guardian. Her best friend, Lissa – the last Dragomir princess – must always come first. Unfortunately, when it comes to gorgeous Dimitri Belikov, some rules are meant to be broken . . . About the author Richelle Mead is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of urban fantasy books for both adults and teens. Originally from Michigan, Richelle now lives in Seattle, Washington where she works on her three series full-time. Before becoming a writer, she considered a few different career paths. She received a liberal arts degree from the University of Michigan, an MA in Comparative Religion from Western Michigan University, and a Master in Teaching (Middle & High School English) degree from the University of Washington. In the end, she decided writing was the way for her but believes all of her education prepared her for it. In addition to the Vampire Academy series for Young Adults, Richelle is the author of 2 adult fiction series - the Georgina Kincaid series (Succubus Blues, Succubus on Top, Succubus Dreams, and Succubus Heat) which tells the humorous and heart-breaking story of a reluctant succubus who can't touch the man she loves without dire side effects, and the Dark Swan Series (Storm Born and Thorn Queen) which follows Eugenie Markham, a free-lance shaman who battles ghosts and fey that sneak into our world from the Otherworld. When an alarming prophecy suddenly makes her every Otherworldly creature's object of desire, Eugenie must dodge their advances while also fighting a dark power rising within her. A life-long reader, Richelle has always had a particular fascination with mythology and folklore. When she can actually tear herself away from books (either reading or writing them), she enjoys bad reality TV, traveling, trying interesting cocktails, and shopping for dresses that she then hardly ever wears. She is a self-professed coffee addict, runs on a nocturnal schedule, and has a passion for all things wacky and humorous.
