Not having had enough of adolescent vampires after reading the Twilight series and watching the movie, I have started reading the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead. Its very very different to the Twilight series and so far I’ve totally enjoyed it.
Vampire Academy is a school for, well, vampires. St. Vladimirs is a school, but also a training academy. Rose, the main character, is a half human/half vampire, called a Dhampir. Her best friend is Lissa, a vampire princess. Rose is her guardian, assigned to protect her with her own life if necessary, against the evil Strigoi, the immortal bad-dude vampires.
Of course there’s the obligatory smexy hot love interest in the form of Rose’s trainer. And, yes, he’s pretty damn hot!
Oh yeah! Bring on the vampire action!
So far I’m half way through the second book, Frostbite, and already looking forward to getting in to the third one, Shadow Kiss. Oh, and the fourth book, Blood Promise, due out later this year. Tasty!
I think this is Rose on the cover. Looking suspiciously like Angelina Jolie, I think.
Stuff and nonsense
