The Vampire Academy Series, by Richelle Mead!
VA Campaign

Book #1

Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire with an unbreakable bond to the earth's magic. She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most dangerous vampires--the ones who never die.

The powerful blend of human and vampire blood that flows through Rose Hathaway, Lissa's best friend, makes her a Dhampir; she is dedicated to a dangerous life of protecting Lissa from the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on making her one of them.

After two years of illicit freedom, Rose and Lissa are caught and dragged back to St. Vladimir's Academy, hidden in the deep forests of Montana. Rose will continue her Dhampir education. Lissa will go back to being Queen of the elite Moroi social scene. And both girls will resume breaking hearts.

Fear made Lissa and Rose run away from St. Vladimir's--but their world is fraught with danger both inside and out of the Academy's iron gates. Here, the cutthroat ranks of the Moroi perform unspeakable rituals and their secretive nature and love of the night creates an enigmatic world full of social complexities. Rose and Lissa must navigate through this dangerous world, confront the temptation of forbidden romance, and never once let their guard down, lest the Strigoi make Lissa one of them forever...

Book #2

Rose Hathaway's got serious guy trouble. Her gorgeous tutor Dimitri has his eye on someone else, her friend Mason has a huge crush on her, and she keeps getting stuck in her best friend Lissa's head while she's making out with her boyfriend, Christian. (So not cool).

Then a massive Strigoi attack puts St. Vladimir's on high alert, and the Academy crawls with Guardians--including the legendary Janine Hathaway...Rose's formidable, long-absent mother. The Strigoi are closing in, and the Academy's not taking any risks. This year, St. Vlad's annual holiday ski trip is mandatory.

But the glittering winter landscape and the posh Idaho resort only provide the illusion of safety. When three students run away to strike back against the deadly Strigoi, Rose must join forces with Christian to rescue them. Only this time, Rose--and her heart--are in more danger than she ever could have imagined...

Book #3

It's springtime at St. Vladimir's Academy, and Rose Hathaway is this close to graduation. Since making her first Strigoi kills, Rose hasn't been feeling quite right. She's having dark thoughts, behaving erratically, and worst of all...might be seeing ghosts. As Rose questions her sanity, new complications arise. Lissa has begun experimenting with her magic once more, their enemy Victor Dashkov might be set free, and Rose's forbidden relationship with Dimitri is starting to heat up again. But when a deadly threat no one saw coming changes their entire world, Rose must put her own life on the line--and choose between the two people she loves most.

Book #4

How far will Rose go to keep her promise?

The recent Strigoi attack at St. Vladimir’s Academy was the deadliest ever in the school’s history, claiming the lives of Moroi students, teachers, and guardians alike. Even worse, the Strigoi took some of their victims with them. . . including Dimitri.

He’d rather die than be one of them, and now Rose must abandon her best friend, Lissa—the one she has sworn to protect no matter what—and keep the promise Dimitri begged her to make long ago. But with everything at stake, how can she possibly destroy the person she loves most?

Book #5

Dimitri gave Rose the ultimate choice. But she chose wrong…

After a long and heartbreaking journey to Dimitri’s birthplace in Siberia, Rose Hathaway has finally returned to St. Vladimir’s—and to her best friend, Lissa. It is nearly graduation, and the girls can’t wait for their real lives beyond the Academy’s iron gates to begin. But Rose’s heart still aches for Dimitri, and she knows he’s out there, somewhere.

She failed to kill him when she had the chance. And now her worst fears are about to come true— Dimitri has tasted her blood, and now he is hunting her. Only this time, he won’t rest until Rose joins him…forever.

Book #6

ROSE HATHAWAY'S LIFE IS ON THE LINE
AND THE ODDS ARE STACKED AGAINST HER

Can she defend herself against the forces that threaten to take her down for good?
Will her best friend Lissa Dragomir take her rightful place in the Royal Council?

Richelle did a chat on FB today where she answered some questions. Here's the ones that pertains to VA/Bloodlines:

Quote:

In the audio books for Vampire Academy, Dimitri has a very thick accent in the first book, but a very toned down American accent in the second. Which is more accurate?
Probably somewhere in the middle. You definitely know he's Russian, but he's been here long enough to be understood.

Is there hope for Abe and Janine? Are they even in Bloodlines?
Abe shows up a lot in Bloodlines.

You'll have to keep reading to find out his future with her! He's so fun to write.

Will the Keepers reappear in Bloodlines?
Not in the first book, but we'll see them in the series.

Out of all the characters to choose from for a spin off, why did you decide to do Sydney? Also, is there going to be any Dimitri in Bloodlines? I know you said Rose would make a cameo appearance, but I was just curious about Dimitri.
Dimitri eventually shows up in the series, but I can't see when or how!

I chose Sydney because I wanted to give us a different perspective on the VA world. Rose is inside of it, so we see it as "normal." Sydney's on the outside and most definitely doesn't think its normal. It helps us learn a lot more.

Who do you prefer? Demitri or Aiden for Rose? And why?
Have you read Last Sacrifice? That explains it.

what is the best thing about bloodlines?
Sydney's personality. She's sooooo smart and can memorize books but is oblivous to social things. She doesn't even realize when she's being asked out. It's pretty funny.

how did you get the idea of dimitri
Dimitri was created to be Rose's balance. She's so impulsive and needs someone who can teach her calm and reason. So, that's where his personality came from. He's Russian b/c the vampires have so many ties to Eastern Europe. Plus, the accent is hot.
