About this eBook
“We’re suckers for it.” — Entertainment Weekly
Join the legion of fans who skyrocketed this six-book series to the top of the charts. Start here, with the first book that kicked off the international #1 bestselling Vampire Academy series. Adapted into an original TV series streaming on Peacock!
Love and loyalty run deeper than blood. 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. . . .
Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.

I read this in a "you read this, I'll read that" kind of agreement with my girlfriend. I have not read the sequels yet. I honestly expected this book to be pretty bad, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Its YA-ness is very apparent, as the book tends to over-explain things, and it certainly has a melodramatic approach to romance, but overall it has a solid plot, believable characters, and a healthy distance from the clichés of recent vampire fiction (i.e. Female human meets male vampire, drama ensues). It borrows almost nothing from Twilight, and in fact seems to want to be more like Harry Potter, although it stays different enough from that as well to retain its individuality. Solid book, look forward to the sequels.
