Vampire Academy: Book 3: Shadow Kiss

            Lissa is beginning to practice her magic, along with Adrian, who moved to their school even though he is 20 to practice his magic with Lissa. He is the only other spirit user they knew.
            Adrian doggs Rose, asking her to go out with him at every oppurtunity. But she can't she likes Dimitri too much.
           Rose's training continues with Dimitri and soon some sexual tension builds up, even though Tasha Ozera likes Dimitri and wants to have kids with him. As it turns out, when Lissa is using her Spirit, she's actually using her own sanity. Rose and Lisa had had a bond for a while, since Lissa brought Rose back to life in a car crash that killed her parents and brother, effectively wiping out every Dragomir other than Lissa. That made Lissa princess, being the oldest (and only) member of the Dragomir family. there are 12 royal families altogether in Moroi society.
          Rose begins using her powers so see ghosts, especially her dead friend Mason.
          At the end, you find out Rose had been draining the insanity from Lissa and after Rose gets mad and almost kills some people trying to hurt Lissa, Dimitri brings her to an out-of-the-way cabin to clean up and calm down. They end up doing that, but then they make love too, as their built-up sexual tension bursts.
          Later, they leave the cabin and then begin seeing strigoi coming up to them on the school grounds. Dimitri stays to fight them with his god-like fighting powers and sends Rose ahead to warn the school. she does so, and there is a HUGE fight on the school grounds. Many people die, and in the end, some are taken captive. Rose partnered with Christan after they saved eachotther many times, and they effectivly dispached many strigoi together. Rose, her mother, and Dimitri convince the dhampirs to go and find the strigoi and save the kidnapped people.
         They eventually go, and they save them, but a few more people die and Dimitri gets left behind. Rose is dying on the inside, but she must go back with the others. The next day she finds out Dimitris body wasn't found. They had to have turned him into a strigoi. On Rose's 18th birthday, she turns in papers to leave the school. Adrian stops her at the door and trys to get her to stay. She won't, so he makes her promise that when she comes back, she will give him a chance.
         Rose leaves then, off to go and find her lover- to kill him.
