St. Vladimir s Academy isn t just any boarding school it s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They ve been on the run, but now they re being dragged back to St. Vladimir s the very place where they re most in danger. . . .

But they must be careful lest the Strigoi the world s fiercest and most dangerous vampires make Lissa one of them forever.

 An ok book but not for teens December 2, 2008

I downloaded the audio version of this book after reading the reviews. I don't like reading books with a lot of cursing and sex in them so I have been sticking to the young adult section thinking it would be safer. So I was pretty shocked when I had only been listening to the book for about 10 minutes before the fist f-word was used. Maybe I'm a prude but I really hate that word and it and other words were used far to often in this book. The story was pretty good, it took me a while but I did get interested in it. But if I had teenage kids there is no way I would let them read this. The language is terrible and there is far to much sex talk. Most of the guys in the book are very inappropriate with the exception of Dmitry, he's pretty cool.
 Great read! November 28, 2008

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!

I read this book when it first came out but i hadn't written a review until i saw it here. Rose has a strong and very unique personality and she thinks like we all do (or should). i don't know what else to say about that book i ma sure you dont need a review but an opinion, i loved it Dimitri is gorgeous and so is Christian and Mason. VA has fantastic characters and a very interesting plot. i wish we had our very own VAmppire Academy here. but o'well. I am going to start reading the 3rd one now hopefully it just gets better and better. Will Dimitri and Rose get together??? i guess we will see..

I'm not going to go over the story, there are enough of reviews with that. What I will say is it took me a couple of chapters to get into. But once I got into it I couldn't put it down! If you liked House of Night or any type of young adult vampire books you will like this book. I really enjoyed that it didn't have the typical girl meets boy, they fall in love yada, yada, yada! To me this book was anything but the typical storyline thats why there is 5 stars instead of 4. So if you are like me and enjoy a good YA Fantasy story, you need to read this book!!
