Rose Hathaway is the type of girl you would see beating people up for her friends or loved ones. Or if people just tick her off.
Rose attends a special school, St. Vladimir's Academy for Future Guardians, Dampires, and Moroi, which is a type of vampire that can control the four elements of the earth: air, water, earth, and fire. But Lissa Dragomir, Rose's best friend, controls a rare power--spirit.
As Rose and Lissa go on with their school life, they find more and more problems and more answers.
I read almost all of the Vampire Academy books, and I've loved it every step of the way. The plot is very absorbing and I have to read what's next. Sure, sometimes it gets a slow start but towards the end, you can't put it down. Trust me, I tried, and failed. Richelle Mead does a very good job with the whole fighting, which is good because most of the book has to do with killing Strigoi. The book also has a good, close-to-home feeling to it. What I mean by that is that some of the vampires have lived at the school since they were young, and they feel like a family, and the school like their home.
I rate this series 5 out of 5 chocolate bars.
Rated DEATH for sexual content and harsh language.
I was disappointed that this was not quite middle school appropriate, because a lot of my students get them from the public library.
ReplyDeleteThose sound like good books.... Maybe I'll read them!
