The Vampire Academy was a very intriguing novel, capturing its readers with a new outlook on what we call vampires. This book series is about two young girls, one a vampire or “moroi” and another young woman a dhampir; which is a moroi and a human mix. The vampires name is Lissa, a young vampire that is royalty. She is the last of her family’s line, which means she is very valuable and important to the royal bloodlines. Lissa’s family (mother, brother, and father) were all killed in a car accident in which Lissa and her dhampir guardian Rose were both also in.

Lissa has a special ability to heal the injured and once she even healed the dead. When the accident happened, Lissa was so traumatized from seeing her only family dead that she couldn’t deal with her best friend also being dead. She managed to heal Rose and bring her back from the dead which created a bond. A bond that helped Rose see through Lissa’s eyes, literally. The rebellious Rose and the beautiful smart royal Lissa have telling adventures and always make you want to read more.
