About this listen

 “We’re suckers for it.” — Entertainment Weekly

Join the legion of fans who skyrocketed this six-book series to the top of the charts. Start here, with the first book that kicked off the international #1 bestselling Vampire Academy series.

Love and loyalty run deeper than blood. 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. Fantasy Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Paranormal Paranormal Romance Romance Science Fiction & Fantasy Fiction

Love this series so much, one of my all time favourites. Really well developed characters with fun teen drama and vampirism thrown in! I'm glad they changed the narrator for the rest of the series though, this one couldn't do any other voices without making them sound like they had a speech impediment

Love the book, narrator so-so
