Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead ★

Vampire Academy (Book 1)

Learning to decapitate and stake is hard enough . . . 


So don't you just hate it when your incredibly hot, stud muffin of a Russian boyfriend gets turned into an evil, soulless un-dead vampire and then no matter how many times you kill him he just keeps coming back?  Yeah, me too . . .

I absolutely loved this series!  Rose, who is a half-human/half-vampire bodyguard to Lissa, a mortal royal vampire, is one of the most entertaining and endearing characters I've run into in teen fiction in a while.  Not only does she kick some serious behind, but she's also very real and often stumbles and falls in her quest to simply live her life to the best of her ability.  Her loyalty, strength and unbelievably drool-worthy boyfriend (this review interrupted for a brief fangirl moment . . . SQUEE!) make this a must read for fans (ages sixteen and up) of vampires, sexy men (not necessarily mutually exclusive) and stake yielding heroines everywhere.
