I really thought I never read this before but it seems too familiar so I'm guessing I read it and just forgot what happened. Either way, even though I'm like 10000 years too late, I see what the hype was about.
Heard there's a movie, it'll be interesting to see how they portrayed the events of this book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Fast-Paced, Addictive, and Full of Drama
Vampire Academy is an exciting start to Richelle Mead’s popular series, and I really enjoyed it. The world-building is engaging, with its unique take on vampire lore, and the mix of action, romance, and friendship makes for a fast-paced, addictive read. Rose, as the narrator, is bold, snarky, and flawed in ways that make her both frustrating and fun to follow, while her bond with Lissa adds emotional depth to the story.
There are definitely moments where the drama feels a little over the top, but it works with the boarding school setting and keeps the tension high. Mead does a great job balancing mystery, danger, and humor, making the book hard to put down once the story gets going.
Overall, Vampire Academy is a strong opener to a series that promises even more intrigue and intensity ahead. If you like paranormal YA with sharp characters and plenty of twists, this is a great place to start.

Overall, this was a fun nostalgic read. Some of the 2007 attitudes made me cringe, but for the most part the references took me back to my college days and gave me a laugh.
However, one of the main love stories totally gave me the ick. I'm fine with age gap romance, but not when one of them is a minor. So many of my notes were followed by 🤢.
The end gave me some hope that that relationship is hopefully on hold, at least through book 2. Also, I have to give props to one twist towards the end I did not see coming.
