Vampire Academy is the first of six books in the Vampire Academy series. The six books in this series are; Vampire Academy, Frostbite, Shadow Kissed, Blood Promise, Spirit Bound and The Last Sacrifice. This is the prequel series to the Bloodlines series. These books are told from Rosemarie Hathaways' point of view. This novel is placed in a hidden Vampire world, from humans. In the vampire world there are Dhampirs; which are half humans/ half vampires. Moroi who are vampires that specialize in a magical element either fire, water, air, earth or spirit. The Dhampirs protect the Moroi from the Strigoi; which are evil, blood-sucking vampires who drink to kill. Dhampir's kill Strigois with a silver stake; which have all the elements in it except spirit, dhampirs put the stake through the strigiois heart, in order for them to die. Rose and Princess Valissa Dragmor (who is the last in her royal line) have been on the run for two years. Lissa is a moroi and specialized in spirit she can heal living things. Rose and Lissa are best friends and have an un-breakable bound. When the guardians from St.Vladmirs find them, they return back to St. Vladmirs Academy- the place where they are in most danger. Lissa finds it hard to return her status. While Rose (a dhampir) trains with Dimitri Belikov to catch up on her training to become Lissa's guardian. While in training Rose feels something for Dimitri she tries to keep it from distracting her training. This series is my favourite I have ever read. I recommend this book if your into the fantasy genre. This book shows that girls are equally as strong as boys, and that girls have power too.
