Vampire Academy Richelle Mead 9781595141743 Books

I bought this first book in the Vampire Academy series after seeing someone recommend it on a list of books for people who liked the Twilight series. When I started reading it, I immediately got sucked in and couldn't put it down! I stayed up late last night to finish it, and just ordered the next two in the series.

The world and characters that Mead has created are interesting and fun, and the novel pulls you along in a suspenseful way.

Although it is written for young adults, be forewarned that it does contain more "adult" references to alcohol/drug use and sex.

A great read!

Vampire Academy Richelle Mead 9781595141743 Books Reviews

I loved this book. I love how sarcastic and stubborn Rose is. I think she's my hero! I really wish I could be as BA as her. Maybe I'll start small by going to the gym and see how that goes...or not.

Lissa was fine. A good supporting role. Nothing to love or hate. I like Dimitri. Not going to say love him but I do really like him.

I read a lot of vampire books. And when I say a lot, it could be an understatement. So I find it's hard to get original with their names, their strengths and weaknesses, how they eat, what they eat, etc. I liked that this story didn't just copy every vampire stereotype out there. I love the creativeness.

I've already read this whole series before I left this review so I will say that I read this whole series in 1 week, and didn't sleep at all. If you know me, you know how much I love my sleep. But this series was worth missing sleep for. It's for sure on my all time favorites list.
Who has heard a vampire story?? Set in high school?? Ordinary girl who the sexy vampire falls in love with?? You too?? Are you tired of the same old story?? Me too!! Luckily for you this is not that story!

Vampire Academy takes vampire story telling for YA to a new level. Exploring what sounds like Russian lore we find out selves being introduced to 3 different types of vampires.
Dhampir half human\ half vampire =super bad ass Moroi guardian
Moroi born vampire with elemental magical abilities...have souls...mortal
Strigoi turned vampire...immortal...no soul...kill for blood,power and greed

At the center of the story we find two best friends, Lisa's (moroi) and Rose (dhampir). Rose has dedicated her life to protecting her friends life and will go any length to see it through. It is a beautiful relationship that, like all others, has its ups and downs but you truly are a sisterhood and loyalty between the two.

Now of course we have to have a love interest so enter Dimitri. A beautiful warrior of a man. Strong silent type. Rose's mentor! That complicated things now doesn't it.

And that's just the beginning. I don't want to spoil the story of give away plot lines, but this story is truly amazing and unique. You will not find another like it. In the sea of vampire tells we need more originals such as this!
I first read VAMPIRE ACADEMY more than four years ago. Remembering slow-burning forbidden romance between Rose and Dimitri and pulse-pounding action present throughout the whole series made me want to relive it all over again. Would I love it as much the second time around? I can answer that question with a resounding YES!

This is the first book in the series, and sometimes first books can be boring with all the world-building and character development. NOT THIS BOOK! Richelle Mead effortlessly blends together the world of the Moroi, dhampirs, Strigoi, and the Academy with action and memorable characters from the very start. It was very hard to put this book down once I started reading it.

The book starts with Rose and Lissa being taken back to the Academy in Montana. Two years prior, Rose had taken Lissa away from their high school, for reasons you’ll find out in the book. Once back at the Academy, the headmistress wants to send Rose away for taking Lissa. But after some persuasion on Dimitri’s part—one of the guardians sent to bring her back—she lets Rose stay subject to some conditions. Rose must stay out of trouble and take on extra training sessions in order to catch up. She assigns Dimitri to be Rose’s trainer. After arriving back on campus, it becomes clear that someone is targeting Lissa and Rose gets worried. Rose is further distracted when she starts to develop very real feelings for Dimitri.

I must talk about Rose and Dimitri because it would be a huge injustice if I didn’t. In Vampire Academy, Rose and Dimitri start off as trainer/trainee (not really friends, but something else) but there is clearly a very special connection between them. Rose is the outspoken, witty, strong, and brave person who will do anything to protect her best friend. While Dimitri is brooding, honorable, and the strong, silent type of guy. Basically, he’s my favorite type of hero. Underneath it all is also this wonderful romantic tension that you can cut with a knife! This is where things get good, guys.

“Did you see that dress?”
“I saw the dress.”
“Did you like it?”
He didn’t answer. I took that as a yes.
“Am I going to endanger my reputation if I wear it to the dance?”
When he spoke, I could barely hear him. You’ll endanger the school.”

I liked that the reason why they couldn’t be together was something tangible and concrete. It made sense. It is a rule at the Academy that guardians cannot be romantically involved due to the nature of their job—their job is to protect Moroi and they can’t put someone else ahead of that duty. And doesn’t that just bite the big one because, damn, these two would be GREAT together!

I won’t go into the explanation of the world in this review because you can figure that out for yourself. However, if you find yourself leery of reading yet another vampire series, don’t because this series is really great. What I love so much about this book is how wonderfully Richelle Mead sets the stage for the rest of the series, while creating an engaging and exciting book that is freaking addictive. You have the subplot with Lissa and Christian, the danger surrounding Lissa, the budding something between Rose and Dimitri, and the dramatics of high school.

If you haven’t read this series from start to finish, go right now! If you’re like me and have a weakness for amazing forbidden love stories with twists and turns, then Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy series is the series for you! I have always remembered the journey I took when reading through the books the first time and I cannot wait to feel it all over again.
