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.
These Vampire Academy books sound awesome! I can't wait to get my copy to try. (Tonya Callihan 12:22pm January 5, 2009)
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 (Magdalene Winchell 5:45am January 17, 2009)
