Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to the earth's magic. She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most dangerous vampires--the ones who never die.

The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir; she is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making her one of them.

After two years of illicit freedom, Rose and Lissa are caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir's Academy, hidden in the deep forests of Montana. Rose will continue her Dhampir education. Lissa will go back to being Queen of the elite Moroi social scene. And both girls will resume breaking hearts.

Fear made Lissa and Rose run away from St. Vladimir's--but their world is fraught with danger both inside and out of the Academy's iron gates. Here, the cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform unspeakable rituals and their secretive nature and love of the night creates an enigmatic world full of social complexities. Rose and Lissa must navigate through this dangerous world, confront the temptation of forbidden romance, and never once let their guard down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them forever...

Vampire Academy is my all time favorite book series. Has anyone elts read it?

Book #4 coming out August 25. Yay!

So I when to a book store today to pick up Blood Promise and the woman working there said that they had already sold out. She also told me that the book was released early. So Blood Promise did not come out today (like it was suppose to), it came out last Friday. Grrrr... if I would have known I would have bought it last Friday.
So I had to go to a different book store to go pick up the book.

Im not sure why that lady told you that - 8/25 was or is the release date. Its posted on Richelle Mead's website & when I picked mine up today the guy had to go to the stock room to get it because they hadnt put it out yet??? I would try a different store for now on & I really hope you find your copy today. Good Luck!

Some books like Harry Potter for example, all need to be released the same day in every store because of it's popularity etc. Some more minor books*, even though there is a release date, can be sold as soon as the store receives the shipment.

*I don't think that VA are a minor books, it's just that compared to HP and other series it is.

I totally understand. I can't wait for the next one too.

So I finished the book, but for some reason I think that I liked the third one better.

This is one of my favorite series! I read Blood Promise the day it was released and can't wait for the next one. I want Rose & Dmitri together and am hoping Adrian finds someone nice to be with as well.

Nope, at least 2 more . . .

Spirit Bound is due out in May 2010 and #6 in late 2010.

My stupid library STILL doesn't have Blood Promise. I'm fourth in line . . .maybe I'll get to read it by Christmas.

19> Thanks, scrpo1027, but I'm all the way on the East Coast!

Since I have 47 other books checked out from the library, I guess I have stuff to read while I'm waiting, but if I don't get Blood Promise by Halloween, I'm going to break down and buy it.

May, perfect timing, that's right after my exams. I guess I know what I'm doing as soon as school is over

18> ask if your library does interlibrary loan. If they do and another library which participates has it, they can send it to your library for you to pick up.

22> Thanks for the suggestion, flemmily, but there are waiting lists for it everywhere. I actually have requests in at 2 different library systems! LOL. I was like #4 at the library that still hasn't gotten it yet and now I'm like 40 something at the other system. The first one has a bunch of copies on order, so I'll get it right away when it shows up . . . if it shows up.

I just finished Blood Promise last night. It was my favorite in the series so far. I thought it was less predictable than Frostbite and Shadow Kiss, of course it is annoying when I figure things out well before Rose does...which did still happen a couple times in Blood Promise.

I really need to not start series before all the books are out. At least I only have to wait till December to get closure from this one.

I finished Spirit Bound earlier this wee too. I was good and I found it better then Blood Promise. However, I still think that my favorite books so far are 2 and 3. I like it when their still at school. I also agree that some parts in Spirit Bound are predictable. Oh well. I still can't wait for the last one.

After Richelle Mead will write a spin-off series still set in the Vampire Academy world. Side characters we know from the current series will now be our main characters, and there'll be a whole new storyline (not the last one told from a different perspective). So far, there is no title or release date info for the new series. Expect it in 2012.

26> novel- thanks for the update - I wasnt aware of the new series. You know what did bother me a bit in Spirit Bound was that Rose was kinda getting on my nerves a bit that everything was about her & should be directed towards her. She was frustrated that anyone made any decisions that didnt include her. It just seemed to be a bit of a change in her character over the series.

I'm reading Blood Promise right now and havent been able to put it down. I can wait to find out if Rose kills her now Strigori soul mate Dimitri!!!!

29taz1030
jul 9, 2010, 1:05 am

well the change of character had to do with Rose getting all of Lissa's anger in her because of the shadowkissed thing. you have to look at it from her point of view. Thats just my opinion......

I've started the next book, Spirit Bound, I'm so glad Rose is a guardian now but i cant believe she's got to bust Victor out of jail after what he did to Lissa. It just never gets boring. Finally Adrian and Rose are nogether!!!!

I have read these books twice now. This time I started them on Tuesday and finished them all by Friday and I am devastated that I have finished them again. I'm probably not in the target audience for these books, but I have to say that I have enjoyed them more than the Twilight series. I don't want to start another book yet, for fear that I am sadly let down after devouring these.

I am not one of these people who cry at television shows or films, but sadly I have to admit that I shed a tear or 2 reading these books.

Going to read Blood Lines now, which is the spin off of the series and follows Sydney the Alchemist. Unfortunately I am apprehensive about reading it, not sure if it's because no one can measure up to Dimitri or Rose.

yeah vampire academy is the best series i have ever read(although everything richelle writes is amazing) but i liked VA the most and they r really my fav books,rose,dimitri,adrian,sydney,abe and christian will always be in my heart(i hate lissa and jill) and i'm glad richelle wrote bloodlines it's really amazing too and adrian might get a chance to get his heart healed (and he's my fa character so i'm like doing a happy turdy dance lol) so all in all it's an amazing series with amazing plot and amazing characters so if any1 is thinking abt trying it then go for it because really u have no idea what u r missing!
