Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead "5 out of 5 stars"


Let me start off by saying that Vampire Academy this is favorite book series in the whole entire world. It has everything you could possibly want/need: action, romance, adventure, and a strong heroine! I randomly picked this book up one day in the library because the cover looked cool, since then and 5 books later I have not regretted it. I just love it so much and I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Synopsis (from Richelle Mead's website): 
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.

The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir; she is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making her one of them.

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 hearts.

Fear made Lissa and Rose run away from St. Vladimir's--but their world is fraught with danger both inside and out of the Academy's iron gates. Here, the cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform unspeakable rituals and their secretive nature and love of the night creates an enigmatic world full of social complexities. Rose and Lissa must navigate through this dangerous world, confront the temptation of forbidden romance, and never once let their guard down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them forever...

  1. I just actually finished reading this book and I as very surprised about how much I loved it (I give it 5 stars too). I didn't think I was going to like it, let a lone love it, but felt I had to read it because everyone else has. I'm starting the 2nd book right away!

  2. I have actually only read the first one and I am just starting the second in the series so I'm not at the last one yet - but from reviews I can't wait!
