Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead

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.


Frostbite (Vampire Academy, #2) by Richelle Mead

Rose loves Dimitri, Dimitri might love Tasha, and Mason would die to be with Rose...
It's winter break at St. Vladimir's, but Rose is feeling anything but festive. A massive Strigoi attack has put the school on high alert, and now the Academy's crawling with Guardians--including Rose's hard-hitting mother, Janine Hathaway. And if handto- hand combat with her mom wasn't bad enough, Rose's tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason's got a huge crush on her, and Rose keeps getting stuck in Lissa's head while she's making out with her boyfriend, Christian! The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy's not taking any risks....This year, St. Vlad's annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.

But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only create the illusion of safety. When three friends run away in an offensive move against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. But heroism rarely comes without a price...


Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3) by Richelle Mead

Is Rose's fate to kill the person she loves most? It's springtime at St. Vladimir's Academy, and Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation. Since Mason's death, Rose hasn't been feeling quite right. She has dark flashbacks in the middle of practice, can't concentrate in class, and has terrifying dreams about Lissa. But Rose has an even bigger secret .... She's in love with Dimitri. And this time, it-s way more than a crush. Then Strigoi target the academy in the deadliest attack in Moroi history, and Dimitri is taken. Rose must protect Lissa at all costs, but keeping her best friend safe could mean losing Dimitri forever...

Blood Promise by Richelle Mead

How far will Rose go to keep her promise?
The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir’s Academy was the deadliest ever in the school’s history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them. . . including Dimitri.

He’d rather die than be one of them, and now Rose must abandon her best friend, Lissa—the one she has sworn to protect no matter what—and keep the promise Dimitri begged her to make long ago. But with everything at stake, how can she possibly destroy the person she loves most?


Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead

Dimitri gave Rose the ultimate choice. But she chose wrong…

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri’s birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir’s—and to her best friend, Lissa. It is nearly graduation, and the girls can’t wait for their real lives beyond the Academy’s iron gates to begin. But Rose’s heart still aches for Dimitri, and she knows he’s out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance. And now her worst fears are about to come true— Dimitri has tasted her blood, and now he is hunting her. Only this time, he won’t rest until Rose joins him…forever.

Thank you :)

Me neither, it is seriously killing me all this waiting, I've been waiting since the beginning of september when Blood Promise came out!

This is one of my favourite series to date. I love Dimitri... I'm a sucker for sweet vampire dudes! :) I'm really looking forward tot he next one and hope I can find some other books that were just as good to get through the coming months! ;)

Love the series I need to finish Shadow Kiss, the Blood Promise and I am looking forward to Spirit Bound.

I seriously STRONGLY recommend these book, I'm actually in love with them I think :P
If you like books that have plots filled with twist and turns, characters that your can't help but fall for and a really strong female lead character than I'm sure you'll love them. And they seriously just keep getting better and better, I loved all the books.

Dimitri is great, isn't he? :)

Yeahh, especially when he said that if he let himself love Rose, he'd save her instead of Lissa (L)

if they don't end up together soon i'll cry lol

Omg I can't wait to see what you think of the late books and what happens, you have to let me know.

And yes I love Dimitri <3

Crazy people? :P

oh my god.
i can;t believe i waited so long to read these

i read frostbite in one sitting :p
i was i took my time now :(

I know what you mean, you get really into them and read them super fast. Than you get to the end of the book and are like "why did I read it so fast, now I have to wait for the next book!".

I know :(
my library doesn't even have the rest of the series :(

That sucks, are you going to buy them or try to find them some place else?

This series is in my top 5 of all series!!! They are so great! I am making off the days for the next book, the upside is that she(Richelle Mead) is releasing 2 VA books this year.

I had to order them from amazon

It's hard not to get hooked on these books.

omggggggggg this is my favourite-ist everrrrrrrrrrrr.....nothing cud beat it!!

Seems like someone loves it :)

Ya I know waiting for the fifth one sucks! I've been waiting since the fourth came out. Who is your favourite Dimitri or Adrian?

Oh me too. I love Adrian, his character is I think maybe a bit more interesting than Dimitri, but I have to see Rose with Dimitri.

Ya she has to be with Dimitri.

I'm curious to find out what will happen in the next book with her father, I really want to learn more about him. I also want to find out whatexaxtly it is that the Strigoi are up to, what they are planing. I thunk it's some thing big, but I'm just guessing.

Me too. I've always wanted to know more about her dad!

He seems like he would make a really interesting character.

I know right!

I seriously don't want to wait any longer!!!!
I really need to know what is going to happen :'( *pouts*

Richelle finally released the 1st chapter and description but i've already read the description on Goodreads a while ago and the 1st chapter is like the same from the Signature ed of Vampire Academy.

I'm not going to read any of it, it will only make me that much more impatient.

And when I read a book I like to know as little as possible so that I don't spoile anything.

Nope, and I'm sure that there will be some surprises in this book.

Anyone know how many books there's gunna be?

I think that the sixth is going to be the last one.

wow wow wow just read shadow kiss, totally starting blood promise now :D:D

ahaha :P

I know, at least you don't have to wait cause it's out, I had to wait and it really suched, I think that that one was the hardest to wait for because of the way Shadow Kiss ended.

yeah i agree too !

Ya it really sucked, and I'm dying to read Spirit Bound, it's a good thing that I have lots of others books to keep me busy.

Yeah I agree. As well as with all the school work too. Compared to last year where I had much less homework and always had time to think about it. :/

Oh ya I have tons of work for school, and to be honest I would take having to wait impatiently over the work :P

Just waiting for the next book

I'm really looking forward to the next book- actually I can NOT wait- SPOILERS: As much as I like Adrian, I'm annoyed that she's dating him in Spirit Bound. I mean rose and dimitri are made for eachother- you know soul mates! She's got to figure out how to help dimitri- he never turned his back on her when she needed him- he needs her more now than ever- and I also have a problem with the way the books portray that moroi come first, and the dhampirs are like their servants basically- it's annoying- They all should be equal. And they're always taught that strigoi are so evil- ok maybe many are- but I'm sure there are good ones as well- I think dimitri is basically good- yes he has these urges but if he wanted to kill rose, he would have killed her long time ago- can't she see how much he still loves her? Even though he's probably been to he11 and back...Lissa gets on my nerves- she's self centered and just expects rose to drop everything for her all the time. I will be really disappointed if rose and dimitri don't find their way back to each other and make it thru this craziness- their love has to be strong enough to be able to conquer this- Otherwise the series just would not mean as much to me... Team Dimitri all the way!
