Ranting, Reviews, & Reading

Ranting:
I started the Vampire Academy series and fell in love! Well, maybe I'm just addicted!!! LOL So I went out and bought the 1st 3 in a 'box' set and then the 4th. Well, then I saw posts about "Spirit Bound" and then the last and 6th book coming out in DECEMBER!!!!! And I thought 'Wait, I'm going to finish the ones I have and then be agonizingly waiting for May and December. So why not stop when I am ahead?' So I literally stopped myself on page 38? in "Shadow Kiss" and will not pick that up again till May. I idea is that I will make the last 3 books (because, duh, I am so pre-ordering "Spirit Bound"!) stretch till December. Then I will put out of my misery!!!! Ok, I'm done ranting :)

Reviews:
I am so behind, it isn't even funny. I know probably no one is reading this but hey, i don't care. I just want to have these reviews done! And since my dad soooooooooooo disapproves vampires and anything with sexual content (but my mom says it's FINE), it's not like I can get on here anytime I want :( So just bear with me and Ill be putting up reviews soon.

Reading:

Summary:St. Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger. . . .Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever.

My Review: Well, I have wanted to read this since it came out, and I finally did! It was intoxicating. That is like all I can say. I was pulled in and I still can't get out. After this I went and bought it with the rest! I recommend it because if you read one, you have to read them!

Exert: A miracle unfolded before my eyes, and Alberta gasped. His wounds closed. The blood dried up. Color returned to his cheeks. His eyelids fluttered, and his eyes regained their life again. Focusing on Lissa, he smiled. It was like watching a Disney movie. I must have keeled over after that, because I don't remember anything else. ~ pg.310

Cover/Title: I don't like this cover, I like the one with her face up close (that's the one i bought) but this is the one I read. I like it because it states from the beginning what the series is called.
