Review: Vampire Academy

Hello lovelies! :)
 I finally decided to do a review to the book
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead 
which is the first book in a series.

It probably won't be long cause i read it a while ago.
Anyways, i hope you'll enjoy it. :)

● Content ●
St. Vladimir's is a school for young vampires. Also Rose Hathaway - half human, half vampire - is trained there to become a guardian. She hopes that she'll be able to protect her best friend Lissa one day, the last survivor of the vampire family Dragomir. Just then it comes to a series of strange happenings. Someone seems to want to kill Lissa. The only one, that Rose can commit herself to, is the attractive guardian Dimitri...

● My Opinion 

I will make this review a little shorter, but however say the most important things. :)
So, the book begins while Rose and Lissa still live outside school, they ran away because Lissa didn't felt comfortable there. Though they are caught after the long time they beared up outside by the guardians of the academy and are brought back.

The book was incredible: A whole new world, with kinda new species - Strigoi, Dhampires, Moroi - that don't exist in any other book i've already read. It's a beautiful world, nevertheless dangerous and despite this whole Fantasy-Vampire-Blood-Thing it is still a young adult novel in which the main characters have to fight with totally normal problems: A stupid bitch (sorry for that word) that wants to ruin your live, rumors, love.


The main character Rose(marie) Hathaway literally smashes you down, she is so tough and strong, you want to be like her. Overnatural talented & nevertheless still normal. I instantly became friends with her because i love her black humor and her irony and i also understand because i have kinda the same sort of humor :)


Lissa (Vasilisa Dragomir) kinda botheres me in the beginning, though i accepted her in the course of the story ;)



Dimitri Belikov. Quiet, introverted, a little bit dark and mysterious - but when he opens up for a second and his dark humor comes alive you just want to scream happily and grab him out of the book.

● In the end you can say that it was a really REALLY good book. :) Just the kinda missing story (changes in the 2nd book!) caused the 4.5 instead of 5 stars. It never gets boring, the characters are funny, partly crude - and because of that congenial, because you have to admit: who of us is fully grown up?! - and you just have to love them. :)

Definitly read it!

I hope you liked this review,
it isn't as short as i expected it to be. :)
I will probably do a review of the movie, 
before the DVD is released (in Germany).

See you next time!
