Vampire Academy

St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger... 

Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever. 

Me and vampires are a new thing actually. I haven't ever given them a real chance either so.. but I've heard many book bloggers talk about this series and I got curious. Of course. In the beginning of this book, I got so annoyed by Rose but the more I read, the more I thought she reminded me of myself when I was younger. But I wish someone had slapped me back then!

I liked Dimitri from the start and I hope to read more about him in the series. Christian also seemed like a nice guy. I really like the setting and in my mind, the academy is a dark and thrilling place.

It wasn't that exciting in the beginning but it changed after a few chapters. I tried to guess who the "bad guy" was but I was wrong and surprised. I really looking forward to read the rest of the series!
