Vampire Academy
Author: Richelle Mead
Rating: 4.5 stars
Synopsis:
Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to the earth's magic. She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most dangerous vampires—the ones who never die and a clear target being the last of her line.
The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir, and a shadow-kissed one at that.
After two years of illicit freedom, Rose and Lissa are caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir's Academy, hidden in the deep forests of Montana. Rose will continue her Dhampir education. Lissa will go back to being Queen of the elite Moroi social scene. And both girls will resume breaking academy hearts.
My Opinion: I loved the book when I was done. While I read I felt it was a bit slow but it was necessary to build the world and introduce us to the characters. I am gonna throw it out there now, vampires are one of my favorite non-human beings to read about. Rose was kick-ass which is something I appreciate after reading twilight ( which I also really like but i think it could have been better). I have read the 3 other books in the series and I think if you stick it with the series only gets better.
5 stars: Amazing book, a definite must read.
