Well this is definately one of my fave series', and if you think "oh noooo, not another Vampire book," think again. The name is actually quite misleading, because even though the book is set in this place - St. Vladimir's Academy, it isn't really about vampires, or not ordinary ones anyway. Once you get into the story and get your head around the different types of people - Moroi, Strigoi and Dhampirs, you will really enjoy the book and won't even remember that it's about vampires. This book made me laugh hard, cry, and close my eyes in horror, and I also picked up a few handy come backs from Rose, the main character, who has a pretty sharp tongue. :) It has more of a plot than a normal vampire book, not humans and vampires falling in love or anything to do with that topic. It's different and unique, and I promise you'll love it!!! Team Adrian <3
