This is the first book in the Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead. It is the story about three kinds of vampires based of off the Romanian myths. First we have the Moroi, the vampires that feed off of blood but do not kill and are not undead (they can die) there are both the normal and Royal moroi. Next we have the Strigoi, the undead evil vampires that thrist for the blood of the Moroi and humans. Lastly but most certainly not least the Dhampir, these people are both human and vampire but more human then vampire(they dont drink blood but have vampire reflexes and strength). The Dhampirs are the gaurdians of the moroi... this may sound really confussing but its really not. Just think Strigoi=evil, moroi=good, dhampirs=butt kicking gaurdians of the good guys.
Now for the main Charactors:
Rose Hathaway is the narrator and is a Dhampir gaurdian in training at St. Vladamir's school. She is soo awesome. We love Rose. You mess with Rose you mess with us. She could kick Bella's butt to the moon because Rose isn't a broading, annoying teenager, she is strong, confident and independent girl who will have to protect her best friend from constant danger as her gaurdian.
Vasilisa "Lissa" Dragomir is Rose's best friend and is the last of the Moroi Royal Dragomir's. She is much weaker then Rose and needs Rose to survive. Both Rose and Lissa are about 17. They have been through everything together but will there future be whatthe they hope...
Then we have Dimitri Belikov... oh Dimitri... He is a 23 year very experienced Dhampir gaurdian from Russia. Oh and did we mention he is frecking GORGEOUS! and he wears a cowboy duster... read this book and you will understand the amazingness of him. He is also Rose's mentor. Did we mention we love him???
The story follows these three charactors and some other love interests and minor characters like Mia and Christian and Mason and many more.
With the constant threat of an attack from the Strigoi everyone is on their toes as our charactors have to balance not only the typical teenage social scene but the constant threat from within the walls of the "safe" (or is it?!?!?) St. Vladamir's Academy.
Now we'd love to say so much more about how this book ends and the budding relationships but we dont want to spoil anything for you... but if you want to talk about any of it we are more then happy to talk to you about it and so send us an e-mail or leave a comment but make sure to label it *SPOILER* Oh! and we will be ending each post with a quote from a different book each post!
"And then, suddenly, he was there, charging down the hallway like death in a cowboy duster". - Vampire Academy #1
