My rating: 3 of 5 stars I've known about this book series for a while. It sounded like something I wouldn't like, in spite of my love for vampires. My main issue was that it takes place in a school. I've graduated high school 14 years ago, and since then I tend to be annoyed by stories that take pla...
Honestly? I'd avoided this series for a long time. Back in the day, when the lingering, sparkly afterglow of Twilight could still be felt, I'd tried a few of the read-alikes, and was essentially halted by the unintentional hilarity of Vampire Diaries. While its reputation was jokey, I had no idea th...
Vampire Academy was surprisingly entertaining. I went into it not knowing what to expect, other than the fact that a well-respected reader-friend-teen of mine really loves it, and I ended up reading it very quickly and really liking the whole thing.What I liked the most: Rose as a real, likable girl...

I haven't read a vampire book in ages, more than a year and it's been even longer for a 'school book', not since I was in school a decade ago. This h...
It was OK. I don't quite get the hype. I felt like I just watched a CW show. Teen drama! The whole Rose/Dmitri thing was a bit weird. I'll read the second and hope they get better. Maybe it's just a case of first-in-series syndrome. A lot of world-building and a lot of background. Not a lot ...
And still addictive, and I've still read it like my life depended on this book. Probably going to finish the whole series in a week if I continue like this.
No, it's not Great Literature. But, Vampire Academy has a genuinely kick-ass heroine, with geniune reasons for being kick-ass. She is talented but still has to work hard, she is flawed but likeable, and most of all, get this - she's attractive and she knows it! None of this "but why does anyone like...
