About the Author
Scorpio 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.
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Worth a read,
By K. Wark "Fantasy/Sci-Fi Book Lover" (Okotoks, AB) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Vampire Academy Box Set (Paperback)
These are the first 3 books of 5 (although I'm unsure if a 6th is planned). I found the storyline adds an interesting twist on the usual paranormal/sci-fi/fantasy type genre. I was hooked from the start finding the characters were well developed and very interesting. The Vampire Academy world is clearly described and I found myself quickly flipping pages to find out what happened next. An excellent read - can't wait for Spirit Bound, the fifth book, to come out!!

Great set of books for teenagers and adults alike. I originally purchased this series for students in my classroom and ended up getting a set for myself as well.

Better then Twilight and I loved Twilight!,
By Alana - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vampire Academy Box Set (Paperback)
Love Love Loved them!
I read all four books last week. I borrowed them from my Mum and didnt think they sounded very interesting from the blurb on the back. So it took me a few weeks to actually bother to start reading them. However, once I started I couldnt stop and now I'm dying having to wait until Spirit Bound comes out in May 2010. I have already started reading them again. I think great books are ones that have you captivated, so that you want to spend every spare minute reading them to know what happens. Like your life is the distraction. You associate with the characters and feel the full range of emotions with them. You laugh, you cry, you fall in love, your happy, sad or angry etc. I have only read a few books in my life that have made me want to spend every second reading them. I loved Twilight and never thought I'd like any books as much. However, I must admit I think I liked Vampire Academy better. For those Twilight fans who sometimes got annoyed at Bella's character I think you'll love Rose. Oh and Dimitri is HOT HOT HOT! I only cried when Edward left in New Moon, but I had tears rolling down my cheeks at some stage in each of the 4 VA books. For parents thinking of letting your teenager read VA. Sex scenes are only as detailed as in Breaking Dawn, but happen between unmarried people. Each book contains a handful of swear words also, which the Twilight books didnt have. Students do a fair bit of drinking and theres some drug use, though in most cases the bad consequences of drinking are highlighted, hangovers, making a fool of yourself, making poor decisions and regretting them later etc. I highly recommend reading them!

This review is from: Vampire Academy Box Set (Paperback)
Oh my god!! This series is just AWESOME. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Im totally addicted, and can`t wait for the fifth book!! If you have any doubt on buying this series, trust me, this is one of the best reads you can get. It is just sooo well written, and the story is very interesting and wonderful. You will fall in love with the characters and the plot. The world Richelle Mead created is just FANTASTIC. 12 of 14 people found the following review helpful:

Excellent,
By Emily R. Jarrell "emma34" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vampire Academy Box Set (Paperback)
These books have always gotten good reviews, so I took the plunge and bought the boxed set. What a great deal this was too, instead of buying single copies of the books, the set is a great price. After reading, I have to say I immediately ordered the next book and was not disappointed! Wow can this author write.
