Vampire Academy


I finished Richelle Mead's young adult book, Vampire Academy, and I highly recommend it.
Here's an excerpt from Mead's website on the book:
"Two races of vampires walk our world. The Moroi are alive and wield elemental magical, while the Strigoi are undead and evil--feeding on the innocent to survive. Rose Hathaway--a half-vampire with poor impulse control--is training to be a bodyguard for a Moroi princess. Learning to decapitate and stake is hard enough, but Rose's real danger may lie in an illicit romance with one of her instructors..."
Rose, through an accident, was bonded to her best friend Lissa, a Moroi. Rose is training to be Lissa's guardian at the Vampire Academy. Typical high school intrigue and student hierarchy play into their lives as they try to figure out all the changes Lissa is going through.
Good pacing, characters and enough intrigue that I wanted to pick it up again. I look forward to finishing the series. Go to Mead's website for details on this series and two other series she is writing.

Oh goodness! A cliff hanger! Well, I guess that means I have another book to look forward to. I just bought the next three books today. I'm traveling to New York, so I needed good reading material to pass the time on the flight :)
