Product Description

From Booklist

After two years on the run, best friends Rose, half-human/half-vampire, and Lissa, a mortal vampire princess, are caught and returned to St. Vladimir's Academy. Up until then, Rose had kept Lissa safe from her enemies; school, however, brings both girls additional challenges and responsibilities. How they handle peer pressure, nasty gossip, new relationships, and anonymous threats may mean life or death. Likable narrator Rose hides doubts about her friend behind a tough exterior; orphan Lissa, while coping with difficult emotional issues such as depression and survivor's guilt, uses her emerging gifts for good. Mead's absorbing, debut YA novel, the first in a new series, blends intricately detailed fantasy with a contemporary setting, teen-relevant issues, and a diverse, if sometimes sterotyped, cast of supporting characters. Occasional steamy sex and a scattering of vulgar language demand mature readers, but teens able to handle the edgy elements will speed through this vamp story and anticipate the next installment. Rosenfeld, Shelle --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, Aug 28 2007

By	TeensReadToo.com "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vampire Academy (Paperback)

Rose and Lissa are best friends who share an unimaginable bond, even by vampire standards. Now, after time spent on the run, they have been returned to the school from which they escaped to face ridicule, speculation, and danger.

Welcome to St. Vladimir's Academy, a private high school for vampires and the half-bloods who are bound to protect them. The Moroi are vampires, and the descendants of Moroi royalty are the social elite of St. Vladimir's. The Moroi are at constant risk, though. The Strigoi, the fiercest vampires, are out to get them, any way they can. The Moroi are protected by Dhampirs, guardians who are sworn to lay down their lives to assure that the Moroi bloodlines continue.

Rose is a Dhampir and Lissa is the last of the Dragomir line of Moroi royalty. Rose and Lissa share a special bond; one that nearly assures that Rose will be Lissa's guardian for life. Returning to school, however, proves to be more difficult than either of them imagined. The social politics have changed during their absence and Rose and Lissa are both the topic of several rumors. Their sudden disappearance, their time on the run, and their return are all subjects for speculation. In some instances, the truth may cause them more harm than rumors ever could.

In addition to the social pressures, Lissa may be in even more danger than anyone could have imagined. In addition to being Moroi and royalty, Lissa seems to have special abilities that haven't been seen among the Moroi in centuries. Abilities that make her an even more tantalizing target to the Strigoi.

VAMPIRE ACADEMY is a thrilling adventure that draws you along and makes you continue to turn the pages. As the danger to Lissa gets closer, it gets more difficult to put the book down. In a world that seems saturated with vampire books, Richelle Mead has created characters and a world that is both unique and believable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action packed and sassy little vampire books not just for teens, Feb 14 2009

By	S. Nielsen "Book Nerd" (British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Vampire Academy (Paperback)

Finally a teen book that wasn't written for 10 year olds! I couldn't put this book down I read all 3 books that are out so far in 2 nights and I can't wait for the 4th to come out. The main character, Rose is stubborn,hormone riddled and funny. The fact that Richelle Mead added a few curse words to her venacular adds to the believability of the books. Despite the fact these books are about vampires, life is much the same in the Academy as in real life highschool. I wish there'd been teen books out like this when I was young, I'd instead resorted to adult fiction. The storyline is great, fast paced and entertaining. If you make it to the 3rd book you're in for a treat they just keep getting better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, May 13 2008

By	Kirstie "*" (Alberta) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Vampire Academy (Paperback)

This novel is about a vampire princess named Lissa and her friend Rose. The girls have a special bond where Rose can feel Lissa's emotions and even get into her head. The story is from Rose's perspective and although at first I thought this wouldn't make it as good it makes it better. Rose is training to be a gaurdian. Gaurdians are half human half vampire and they protect the vampires. This book goes through her troubles and trying to put Lissa's well being over her own and sacrificing her happiness to keep Lissa safe.

After being on the run for two year Rose and Lissa are cought and brought back to the vampire academy, a place foy young vampires and dhampirs (half vampires like Rose) to go to school. Here the girls meet the normal everyday gossip and problems of teen life but there is something more. On top of all the gossip and boy problems Lissa is in danger. There's also the mystery of why Lissa hasn't specialized in magic yet.

This book is really good but has some slow parts. It's not a true vampire novel but I think people who like vampires will still enjoy it. Read it! It's worth it!
