The Vampire Academy


I only recently took up the Vampire Academy series and I have to say, Twilight has been trumped. This series has so much more substance than the Twilight novels and they focus on more than just a dysfunctional relationship.

Rose is a dhampir- half Moroi, half human- destined to be a guardian to Lissa, a Moroi princess. It’s her job to ensure that the Strigoi (evil, unnatural vampires that kill for blood) never endanger her welfare.


Rose and Lissa have been on the run for two years but are eventually caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir's Academy- a safe haven where dhampirs learn to fight and Moroi take other classes.


I now have a new favourite series! The drama was catching in this novel and I was soon caught up in the world of vampires. While the plot and background are a little harder to comprehend at first than Twilight, it's definitely worth it.
