The Vampire Academy book is the first book in a series of vampire books by Author Michelle Read. I have read these series quite recently and from the beginning fell in love with them. If I were to rate Vampire academy I would say about a 8 on a 1 to 10 scale. However the rest of the series would be rated as a 9. I was hooked in from the beginning of this book. And I finished 3 books in 1 and a half days (Which proves they are wonderful).
The story revolves around the main characters Rose and her place as a Guardian of Lissa. Rose and Lissa are best friends. However Lissa is what you call a royal Vampire from a Royal Family.
There is a bad type of vampire called Strigoi. Which are wild, crazy, kill-everything type of vampire. They are always after Moroi.
Moroi is a peaceful type vampires. They are usually lean, small and blonde. They all have gifts too, magical gifts. Moroi must attend the academy to learn about magic and their special gift. Moroi are usually royals, but there are some who are not.
Guardians are they protectors of Moroi. All Guardians must got to the Academy to train to fight the Strigoi and protect their Moroi.
Rose and Lissa escaped the academy but are forced to go back in the beginning. Rose is so behind on her training that she is forced to have a after-school-fighting-trainer Dmitri. Dmitri is a hunky older Guardian who is well-respected around the world. Rose instantly falls for Dmitri but she keeps her focus on Lissa. Lissa has been having troubles with her mind and thinking process. Most Moroi get there gifts in the academy but for Lissa it's a different story. Her gift is still unknown. When danger strict Lissa is the one being targeted, considerng she is the only one left alive from her High Royal family. Rose is the one to be there for the saving. Also you deal with the drama of the academy students and the feelings and tension growing between Rose and Dmitri.
Vampire Academy is a MUST READ. And when you finish it, look for "Frost Bite", "ShadowKiss" and the newest "Blood Promise".
