Vampire Academy is
Twilight with attitude β
think Gossip Girl with a bloodsucking
twist. Rose is tougher than
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and as cunning as
Blair Waldorf.
When the series begins, both girls are being dragged back at St. Vladimirβs
Academy after being on the run since sophomore year. Now theyβre seniors at St.
Vladimirβs β a school for a privileged set of Moroi β mortal vampires β and
dhampirs β a half human, half vampire race that protects the Moroi from the
immortal Strigoi vampires that thirst after Moroi blood.
Rose is supposed to be Lissaβs bodyguard β but will her tougher-than-thou
attitude and her secret attraction to her tutor Dimitri distract her from
protecting Lissa?

Wow. I mean, wow. It does sound like an interesting plot , and the idea of an academy for vamps actually made me laugh.
This sounds a bit like another book I read called 'Rowan of the Wood'. Rowan also contains a tough girl (though I wanted to know more about her in the story) and the need for protection is a main theme of the story, for sure!
It throws some vampires in with the Wizards to make for a great combination. Oh, and the main character's name is Cullen, not Rowan. That was a neat twist. Anyway, you can find out more at:Rowanofthewood.com
