Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
5.0

I love Vampire Academy. It's my go to when I'm in a book slump even if the second half of the series is far from perfect. But, book 1 is great. Mean Girls with hot vampires? Yeah I'm sold! Imo, even Rose is great in this book. I really love how fiercely she protects Lissa, even when everyone thinks she's just a teenage brat all she cares about is her safety.

I'm a bit torn about the romance. I used to love Dimitri and Rose's dynamic but rn I find it a bit problematic. The age difference (7 years) would not bother me at all if Rose wasn't underage. And yeah it's a book but it's just a bit creepy. Still, is fiction and I guess I can live with this.

I feel like VA's 3 first books are great. They are well written, they have a good rhythm and the perfect amount of action and romance. Secondary characters are great I have a soft spot for Christian.

I'm super excited about the series and I can't wait for a book box to pick them up and finally give me an edition that doesn't look like cheap erotica.
