Vampire Academy

In the new brilliant tradition of teen vampire novels, I give you Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.

This one stars two girls, Lissa, a vampire princess, and Rose, her half-human/half-vampire bodyguard.

It's an odd story, but really easy to get into. Much like the Blue Blood series, there are good vampires and bad vampires. Good vampires also have a certain magic they can tap into.

But Lissa and Rose ran away from the school that was supposed to keep them safe, only to be brought back. Lissa is doing her best to survive (high school sucks even if you are a princess), and Rose is training to make sure that she can protect Lissa.

Never mind the new girl who has it in for Lissa, or Lissa's rather odd talent. And Rose's terrible temper.

Oh, and did I mention the dead animals everywhere?

Right. It's a good book, fun read. I liked it.

And yes, it's the first in a series.
