Lisa Reviews: Vampire Academy Series

“Whaaat? Lisa you just now started reading the Vampire Academy series? What’s wrong with you?”

I know, I know, you all probably want to throw rocks and sticks at me through this screen! But I just never got around to reading this series, and I really didn’t do too much research on them, to see what they’re about, or to check what some of my favourite book bloggers thought about them.

A while ago I finally got myself to purchase the first two books, but still months went by before I finally picked up the first book, and dug in!

To be honest … I regret not starting this series right when it hit the book store shelves!

Vampire Academy is about a girl (or vampire princess, same thing, right?) named Lissa and her guardian named Rose, who are just being forced back to their school called (take a wild guess, go ahead!) Vampire Academy, after running away and spending the last few months by themselves in the human world.

The Vampire Academy is a boarding school that not only vampires, but also their in-training guardians, attend.

Finally, arriving at the school, Lissa was just sent straight off to class while Rose was receiving her punishment for not “preventing” Lissa from running away. Rose is stuck in classes she needs to take as a senior, but she is also forced to take before and after school training lessons, and whatever free time Rose has left, she is forced to spend it in her dorm room.

Throughout dealing with coming back to school, not seeing each other very often, and just some regular old high school problems, the two girls find out that Lissa holds these immense powers! She can not only save people from dying, but she can even bring them back from the dead. Every time Lissa does this, she makes a huge sacrifice, she loses a pieces of her own soul!

Vampire Academy was nothing I thought it would be! I was really getting tired of this whole vampire thing, but this book puts a whole different spin on it! I love it, and I just want to punch myself for not reading it earlier! (Well at least I dont need have to wait, for what seems like forever, for another book in the series to come out!) If you haven’t picked up these books, I recommend you should!
