Vampire Academy

Debuting with its first novel release in 2007, Vampire Academy, this six-book series revolves around Rose Hathaway, a coming-of-age teenager who is half-vampire, half-human. Rose quickly befriends Vasilisa Dragomir (nicknamed “Lissa” in the books), and falls in love with her instructor Dimitri Belikov. The book series takes place in what is essentially a school for the mystical, named St. Vladimir’s Academy. While in school, Rose must try to defeat the Strigoi, a group of evil undead vampires who constantly attempt to interrupt her education.
