Rose Hathaway is a dhampir, a mix of a Moroi (good vampire) and another dhampir. She is also a guardian. She goes to school at the Vampire Academy so she can graduate and protect her Moroi best friend. Lissa is the last of her line of Dragomir. All her life she has been taught that only Moroi matter and to focus on protecting them at the cost of a guardian’s own life. Dhampirs need Moroi to keep having kids, since dhampirs together cannot. Strigoi are evil. They’re strong, they’re fast, and they kill without mercy or hesitation, and they’re immortal. There are only three ways to kill a strigoi – decapitation, a silver stake through the heart, or setting them on fire. Not easy but it can be done. A Moroi can become a strigoi in two different ways, willingly killing someone by draining their blood, or being turned by another strigoi. Once a Moroi becomes a Strigoi their magic is gone. A Moroi has the power to weild magic in each of the four elements- earth, air, fire, and water. Lissa wields spirit which is all 4 together I guess. Not many people know about spirit so we play the guessing game.

After a strigoi attack puts the whole Academy on alert, Rose’s mother comes to the school. Rose doesn’t really know her mother since she grew up at the Academy and her mother was working to protect her Moroi charge. Yes, Rose’s mother is a guardian.

Now Rose has to contend with her motherand have her mentor and secret love’s, Dimitri, eyes on another, plus another boy vying for her attention. Not to forget gettting sucked into Lissa’s mind when she’s making out with her boyfriend, Christian. What a rush.

I think this is one of my favorites from this series. You meet Adrian (who I really like), you finally see an attack from strigoi and with this being the second of the series, the characters are more in depth. You will grow to like them or hate them even more. Rose seems like any normal girl in this boy situation. Girls can relate to that of course. Mead’s style of writing is phenominal. She can draw you in before you know what hit you. A definite A+ for the whole series.
