  • I'd do anything to meet richelle mead in person

  • i seriously can't believe how my life would have been if i hadn't read vampire academy. i love everything about the books that i cant put it in words.. i wish they would make a movie out of it even though it would be so disappointing to find it bad portrayed especially the characters and the little things they do that makes VA so special to me and everyone else. I hate that it didnt get its fair share of publicity like shitty sparkling vampires. i read all VA books many times and bloodlines too

  • I was searching diff ways to say ghost and in Romanian Ghost can be Strigoi! LOL

  • man i luv the vampire academy series the vampire academy series is way better then twilight im on the second book frostbite and i have the hole entire series exept for shadow kiss man i want the third book shadow kiss soo badly and i really want richelle mead to make movies out of the series soo badly!!!!! i love the vampire academy series!!!!!!!!

  • they should definatly make a movie of this... these books are way better than the twilight saga. i never wanted the vampire academy books to end

  • I love Vampire Academy!!! Can't wait for the movie to come out!!!

  • V academy and the house of night series. Best vampire series ever. Forget twilight....

  • I want to see a movie adaptation of the novel. Yeah I know, no sparkly vampires XD

  • I love Vampire Academy :) I remember I came by this series by accident and I loved the story from the start I read all the books in two weeks ^^

  • It's weird I pronounced Dhampir as DAMPA. And Strigoi as STRIGGI. And Moroi as MIRRI aha

  • i like V.A

  • i really wish they wouldnt make a movie out of this. the reason is its just gonna become low budget and poorly casted. it wont be recognized to anyone except for the books fans and if it does blow up the books will lose respect and made a fun of just like twilight. the odds of the movie turning out good is very unlikely but i still wish that it would. VA is my favorite series WAY better then twilight i love all the characters and the story i just dont want them to be portrayed in the wrong way.

  • I LOVE the books and dont get me wrong it woul be awesome to have a movie of Vampire Academy but whenever Hollywood makes a movie off of a book they never really get the characters right or they dont include a lot of the scenes caz its got to be filmed in an hour or two. But anyway it would be awesome if they make a movie and get the right people and include te awesome scenes

  • is the movie coming to the big screen?

  • @deathskullemanual agreed

  • Vampire academy is much better than twilight

  • And it will out in 2013

  • I just found out ther are makeing a movie ther casting now

  • I love Vampire academy it is so cool. I REALLY want them to make a movie that would so awsome:D

  • i luv the vampire academy books

    

  • I'm looking for book 5 and 6 they're sold out:(!!

  • i read all the books n i m 11 years old. i read all of the books in 2 mouths!

  • Omg I STILL need to finish this series D:

  • HOLY! Ms. Mead, were u at San Francisco at Walker Creek??? Cuz the bridge is like the same one they have!!!!

  • Love it :)

  • Richelle Mead should play Rose's mom if they made a movie!!

  • i love vampire academy..i mean it's the best book i've ever read.. I HOPE IT'S GOING TO BE A MOVE.!!! PLEASE MAKE THE MOVE RICHELLE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I'M BEGGING YOU..!! AND IF YOU DO PLEASE CHOOSE BEN BARNES FOR DIMITRI BELIKOV!!!! I MEAN HE IS PERFECT DIMITRI!!! Long brown hair,pretty brown eyes...like i said perfect dimitri!!!

    LOVE THE BOOKS!!! MAKE MOVIE SOON!!!!!<3<3

  • If have a facebook go to vampire academy movie & on the left and click on questions and please vote for taylor as dimitri & lyndsy for rose

  • Im from Romania!! O_O I LOVE Vampire Academy!!!! <3

  • Dude, if this get's made into a movie, it's going to go WAYY past Twilight and all those people won't even read the books:|

  • @MsCountrygirl1231 i hate to say this but the books have too many side stories that make it what it is and if they make it into a movie they will have to cut the sidestories which will ruin it for the pepole who have read the books and not those who have not read the books. the storyline is way better than any ohter vampire book ive read out there and i have read a million except twilight...

  • @babeless16 They don't have to many side stories.... It wont ruin the story itt will help the movie watchers will understand it more if anything.

  • Is it going to be a movie or not? Cuz I really hope it will! I LOVE those books!

  • this series is one of the best i've ever read i started to read twilight and i wanted to die after the first chapter i started reading this series and now i can't put the books down i want to now what happens next its just that good

  • i love these books so so so so so bad!! I´ll never read anything else!!

  • "Rose is not passive, she doesnt wait to be rescued " The reason why I love her!!

  • I always pronounced it as vampire with a d LOL

  • I can't remember where I read it from but I think the people that will be doing the Bloodlines is; Adrian, Jill, Sydney... It said you get glimpse of Dimitri in there which viewers might be excited about... All I know is that Sydney and Jill are the main points in bloodline.

  • @Jaydddeee248 What the heck is bloodlines..., are you talking about Blood Promise? The main characters are always Rose and Dimitri although there are always sub-main characters.

  • @JustSingForLife Bloodlines is the name of the spin-off series Richelle is going to bring out. Since Last Sacrifice was the last of Rose's vision she will do a few more in the eyes of people you don't normally see in the book like a book about Sydney a book about Jill and even a book about Adrian *I hope*

  • Tell me the girl on the cover of the first book doesn't look just a little bit like angelina jolie

  • this book was really intresting

  • i have a question. and someone please answer. the next series coming out is the bloodlines right? and i know its not about rose and lissa anymore but its gonna continue talking about them right? i need to know what happens between Roza and Dimka :$ please and thank you! : {D

  • @awesome1rock2life yes, although they are not the main characters, richelle says the series will drop in on rose and lissa and dimitri

  • @GothicButterfly05 :O YEY!!!!!!1 THANK YOU! : {D

  • i LOVE this book series!! i can't wait until Bloodlines! (the spin-off series). Sydney was actually one of my favorite characters so its going to be awesome!

  • hey...if anybody needs romanien history .. tell me...`cos... well i know it since i have learn it for 6 years:)

  • im pretty upset they're making it into a movie :/

  • @christaXcancer THEY ARE.?!

    

  • @greengurl2389 sadly :l

    its probally gonna get main stream like twilight and then im gonna be uber pissed :l

  • vampire academy, so much better than twilight :)

    i wish she would write more books, like about after lissa is queen . [sorry if i spoiled i didnt intend to] and just the lives they all share after everything has happened :P

  • @TheSunqan

    i totally agree with you ! :)

  • I Love Richelle Mead. She's my hero. I'm a writter who would love to meet her one day, and would love to follow in her footsteps. My dreams would be complete(:

  • I pronounce them like this: Strigoi ~ Stry-Goy Moroi ~ Mor-Oy Dhampir ~ Dam-Pire Lissa ~ Lee-Suh Dimitri ~ Dee-Mee-Tree Rose ~ Rose Vasilisa ~ Vah-Sill-E-Suh Kirova ~ Ker-Oh-Vah Belikov ~ Bell-I-Kove Baia ~ By-Yah  Believe me, these should be pretty close and some may be exact! Reply if u want any more of MY pronunciations ~not always correct~
  • ok. I was just voting for the kids choice awards. when the votes for fave books came from. and vampire academy was nominated. i definitley voted for it. so guyz. if you love vampire academy and u want to show richelle mead that she should put a movie for this book then go to nick.com and vote for vampire academy. . Vampire academy is popular as the twilight books now but if we have a movie, its going to be by far more popular then twilight. sp please vote. Im begging u. Thumbs up if you voted.

  • @xMizzClumsyx and I thought it was pronouced Dhamp-IRE

    Like vamp-IRE

  • @NotSoIdenified That's what I thought!

  • Lol it sounds like she farts at :30

  • Define "evil" Just because the Strigoi aren't all about saving the human race for anything more than a snack, we get called evil? Insulting! Doesn't mean we don't have feelings too! Having said that, the books are fantastic.

  • @TheVampyer what the....?

  • i love your books i read them all i hope you make them into a movie!

  • I feel so proud being a red-head.

    Vampire academy is the best series i have ever set eyes on!!

  • steven strait would make an awesome dimitri and plus he can work his long hair oh yea

  • i just finished Vampire Academy and i feel sooo empty! its like theres nothing left to do with my liiiffee!! xD does anyone have any suggestions for a new book series? ive read h.o.n, vampire diaries, evermore, hush hush and some other things. i crave forbidden love and sexyness. =] thankk yoouu

  • @almogmog Try Night World Series by L. J. Smith. Look for Fallen by Lauren Kate. I'm still reading it but I heard a lot about how awesome it is.

    Mostly, L. J. Smith books have a lot of love and awesome male characters. I think you should give her books a look. I've read by her so far: Vampire Diaries (Love it!) and Night World Series (Love it!) and I have Forbidden Game but I still haven't read it yet, but I heard it's awesome.

  • @reemy4117 i actually really didnt like L.J smith, i dont know i thought vampire diaries was boring xD i have heard about Fallen, was that a good book?i never got to buying it because her boyfriend was dead so that meant "no romance" to me... =P

  • @almogmog Well, okay. If you don't like L. J. Smith, I don't know what should I recommend for you, cuz I love her books and I'm planing to buy them all.

    I haven't read "Fallen" yet, I'm still at chapter 3. But I heard it's a dark romance.

    I read that "Night House series" is awesome as well. Mostly the ones who read Vampire Academy loved the Night House by PC Cast. I have the 1st volume (Haven't read it yet, I will next) How about it? :)

  • @reemy4117 house of night is a great book series. lots of romance, action and adventure. its intense =] i highly recommend it. and i dont know i dont like L.J smith because its just a very slow paced book, like it takes a while for something to happen xD i like lots of action and twists and insanity lmao <3

  • @almogmog try the summoning series by kelly armstrong not as much sexieness but its a good read and if your up for a really intense story try the immortal books the first one is called evermore. i can give you a longer list if your still hunting (:

  • @chickie171 hmm i read the immortals and couldnt get past the third book, it was too slow, nothing happened for a while =/ i get bored by books really easily. Vampire Academy has such a fast pace and clever twists, its perfect. same goes for house of night <33

  • @almogmog have you tried the immortal instrument series? thats pretty clever i thought. and i agree. i doubt there will ever be a couple more unique than rose and dimitri <3

  • @chickie171 yes i actually have =] i thought it was pretty clever too, that was a good series. and yea Rose and Dimitri are just too good. i cant wait for the spin-off series! too bad its coming out in like a freaking yearr!! -__-

  • @almogmog yeah!!! waaay too long. and im kinda sad dimitri and roses story is over, but the world mead has created is just too amazing to come to a close just yet. and i want to know more about adrian. have you heard about it being turned into a movie? im not too happy about it, they will NEVER get MY dimitri right ):

  • @chickie171 omg yes i have heard about that! and i know exactly what you mean, like for the twilight movies, no offence but i think Robert Pattinson is SO ugly! </3 but i dont know i am also kind of happy for Mead because if the series gets more popular she gets more money and acknowledgement on her hard-work, and she definitely deserves it. good thing we finished the books before the movie came out and spoiled it for us ;]

  • @almogmog EXACTLY im glad for her to be finished too, the way i see it the movies had a huge impact on stephanie meyer, no offence but i really hated breaking dawn and rob has his rare good looking moment but he's not verry attractive at all. its true about the house of night novels as well VA is a much better series and i had to really push to keep reading HON at one point because zoey was getting a little too sluty for me. but then i read stevie rae and refaim and found it REALLY interesting

  • @chickie171 Stevie Rae and Rephaim was probably the BEST thing P.C. cast could have done with those books. something impossible yet irresistible like that is exactly what was missing in the series. and about stephenie meyer, i honestly dont even remember breaking dawn anymore. the only thing i dont like too much about twilight is how cliche it is, the characters are very simple and normal, especially Edward, he was soo plain that i found him a little boring. VA has so many in-depth realistic ppl

  • @almogmog agreed but again a small disagree edward i found along with a few of the cullens were the only in depth characters i found interesting in twilight as for the rest i was bored by bellas thoughts and views on things THANK YOU for agreeing with me anout rephaim and stevie rae have you read all the books now? your caught up to awakend. and have you read hunger games?

  • @chickie171 i dont know, for me edward was just too perfect too nice too selfless i was looking for an imperfection in him the whole time lol. and yea i actually just finished awakened two days ago. Now i REALLY have nothing to read. and i heard of the hunger games, but it seemed like a whole lot of action and fighting, not much of drama and romance which is what i'm tottaly into so i never got to buying and reading it. How was it?

  • @almogmog its interesting actually i finished it yesterday and your right about the action but it had a surprisingly large amount of drama and romance only it was in a sort of subdude kind of way. and the action helped to intensified all of the things you and i both seem to enjoy. making things more cmplicated. im going to get my hands on the second one next time im near a chapters or indigo. as far as books go it wasnt bad at all. and refreshing. 

  • @chickie171 hmm, Next time i'm in a book store i'll make sure to check it out. did you read fallen? i'm really wondering about that book

  • @almogmog not yet. everyone i know has. im jusy a little hesitant to start another series if its just going to be about fandom. fandoms good, but not crazy insane "team blah blahs"

  • @chickie171 i didnt even know it was a fandom xD

  • @almogmog tha is totally true but VA is better than house of night a million time and a trillion times better than twilight people only like it because theres a movie bt when tis movies come out people will forget about twilight

  • @superandyrocks VA is better than any book series written in the history of books. period. it has everything a person could read and i would spend my weekends with my nose in these books for hours and hours and i would cry for DAYS when stuff happened. And i'm not too sure about completely forgetting about twilight, im not really a twilight hater, im just a fan of any good book =] im hoping for good luck for Mead, if she even needs it.

  • @almogmog i agree with you, i dont usually let books affect me that much, i read harry potter and that was the only book i ever really got attatched to the characters and the world until a few years later i read a lot of series with sad moment but never enough to work me to tears untill the day when i read rose dropping to her knees as mason shook his head no that dimitri was niether dead nor alive.

  • @chickie171 oh god, that book was an emotional roller coaster for me. i literally sat in my bed and cried myself to sleep. The hardest part was that i couldnt get my hands on Blood Promise for the next couple days, so i spent those days thinking non-stop about Dmitri and Rose and all that pain and heartbreak and how it was never going to be the same. The way they fell in love understood each other and complimented each other was so realistic and emotional, Mead really brought them to life.

  • @almogmog haha a few days? i had to wait for her to write it. publish it and eventually borrow the car to drive to the city to buy it. as i did for the next three books to follow lol. it was so agonizing but well worth the wait

  • This series is going to turn into a movie I can't wait!!!

  • @isnormalityareality omg it is yes haha i agree i can't wait either... where did you here this from? if you dont mind me asking!

  • @candygirl1013

    From Richelle Mead's blog! if you own the books the website is in Last Sacrifice for sure!

    I hope this helps!

  • @isnormalityareality yes thanks!

  • i like this series better than house of night. im not even going to compare it to the T word. Sad that it ended tho

  • i so love vampire academy . yes ive been addicted reading vampire books but vampire academy is the best ....... and twilight for me is just the for 2nd place ,,,,

    Richelle mead . thank u for writing this book . i liked it very much ....

    continue writing .

  • No affense but FUCK Twilight. Vampire Academy is the best!!!!

  • I just finished Last Sacrafice, it was such a good way to end the series! I loved it!

  • I've been into vampires before the insane twilight fandom hit. And I love this book series. I'm sad it's over now but I was glad to have read about dimitri he is my god

  • @chickie171 i agree. im completely in love with the series and Dimitri. he has actually inspired me to learn Russian.

  • @Snakegurlz that is really cool i only bothered to look up swear words in russian :P

  • @chickie171 lol sounds good to me :)

  • I think that this story is way better than those sparkle fairies... Especially the dhamphir take on it, and the love for Dimitry!

  • can u even imagine the world without Romania?

    lol

    I love Vampires!!!! Dracula :) bwahaha.

    Can anybody send me the books?

  • im also a mythology geek ! we love you richelle mead!!!!!

  • Damp-air?

    i thought it was pronounced damp-eer .

    my bad -.-

  • @xMizzClumzyx I thought it was Dhamp-IRE :) i like it that way

  • @xMizzClumzyx

    Me to. I can't pronounce any of their names "Dampair, Moroi , Strigoi " T.T

  • @xMizzClumzyx In the audio book, the reader pronounced it "dam-pie-er", so I'm guessing there's lots of ways to pronounce it. :/

  • @xMizzClumzyx well i always thought it was damfur lol

  • PLEASE CAN SOMEONE MAKE THIS SERIES A MOVIE ! this will defiantly kill twilight and prove that twilight is jst a cheesy love story when Vampire Academy seems so real and engaging <3

  • if you switch the first letter of her name and last name it becomes michelle read! :D

  • I read all of Last Sacrifice yesterday, and when did I get it? Yesterday. It's that good. Keep up on your work Richelle!

  • best series in the whole world! i love rose and dimitri! just finished the series! u rock richelle mead!

  • Can someone please tell me which book has the scene where Rose and Adrian almost have sex but Adrian ends up drinking from her? :) Ive read all the books three times and i cant seem to remember.. lol! please help me!

  • @ElainaBby I think it was Spirit Bound

  • @LovinLifeOxoxo it is! lol it took forever for me to find it though.

  • @ElainaBby Spirit Bound, book 5, towards the end. hope this helps

  • @soblonde120 thanks! :)

  • i love this series im like obessed i love Adrian!!!!!

  • I am a romanian teenage girl, I read the first four books (I'm on the fifth book now) and I absolutley  love Richelle Mead! <3

  • I can't wait to read Last Sacrifice. I love the titles she gives each of her books and I try to follow by her example with my own styles of writing. Only difference is I span across a wider variety of mythical creatures that no one has probably heard of. She's a great writing inspiration to me.

  • @crazyphreak82 well duh! ;) hehe! i love love love this series! lol.

  • i used to be OBSESSSED with twilight and then i read the Vampire Academy Series and i just said "screw twilght!"

  • NOW this series is a real great one cant wait for last sacrifice to come out!!!

  • I dont understand why Twilight gets so much attention, when there are clearly so much better books out there, even better Vampire books like Mead's books, or the other ones. It feels so UNFAIR.

  • @AliceElphabaWonka Ya i agree with u i mean i like twilight but the vampire academy series is great cant wait for last sacrifice to come out!

  • @disneyfame101 i know! its a really great series.

  • I really love these books, and I like the fact that the writers know so many think about Romania, I am from Romania, but it is strange to know that Romania is known as a land of vampires.

  • "Vampire Academy" was an awful book, hate on me if you want but the whole premises and storyline lacked a lot and it is better than twilight in fact every other vampire novel is better than twilight. but though this story is different it didn't catch me and failed in my opinion.

  • @JohnnyGhostly Really, you didn't like it??

  • @thunderbirdstwilight nope I didn't like it something about it just turned me off about reading it and i can't put my finger on it.

  • @JohnnyGhostly

    I respect your opinion, dude. I would rather read a really weak vampire novel that 1000 pages long than read or watch a minute of twilight.

    At least in this book, there are vamps that kill, drink blood, and don't give a dam about what others think. You can consider me a "twi-hater" someone who despises the twilight series movies

  • Woww....i just relized and Richelle Mead would do a good Janine Hathaway!!! :D

  • I am in love with Vampire Academy!!!!!!! GO RICHELLE!!

  • @TheSunqan i know right ? that's why we all wish that they do make the movies or a tv series, i just hope they dont make them all crappy like twilight.

  • I love VA! : ) i can't wait for The Last Sacrifice to come out on December!!!

  • i love the Vampire Academy books , im addicted.

    i LOVE them ! i wish it would become a T.V program or movie or something xx

  • Vampire Academey Is Sooo Gurd! Adrian && Dmitri So Hawt!

  • love the book cant wait till the last book

  • I made a horrible mistake reading Twilight....then I picked up this series and now have hope for vampires stories!

  • I CANNOT FUCKIN WAIT UNTIL LAST SACRIFICE IM GOIN CRAZYYY.

    dimitri <3

  • VAMPIRE IS AWSOMEEE!!!! THE BOMB!!

    AFTER TWILIGHT I READ VAMPIRE ACADEMY AND IT JUST BLEW ME AWAY. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SERIES!! I HOPE IT KEEPS ON CONTINUING! BECUZ ITS AMAZING XD

  • Awwww i love richelle mead and her books! her books helped me alot when i needed to get away from this world for a while. :)

  • this is an awesome series its one of the best vampire series i read and compared to twilight it rocks becuase twilights poorly written and it sucks

    this is a good series it goes into explaining what vampires are and it still includes love its more complex and better written twilight just focuses on love so more tweens and romance loves will buy it

  • @rianich Omg so did i!! Ive never cried so much in my LIFE

  • Love that books <3

  • va's gonna kick twilight off the throne

  • I LOOOVE Twilight still, but I have to admit that this was a very good series! I was hooked! Can't wait until the final one comes out! Hope it's as good as Spirit Bound! I'm DEFINITELY Team Edward/Dimitri!!!!!

  • I really love this series but I cant really pick it over Twilight bcuz if I hadnt read Twilight I wouldnt have read VA and really I think both series are great, just very differently.

    I cant wait for Last Scrafice! Hope Rose&Adrian end up together!

  • this is soo much better than twilight even better than the house of night( which they are very good , but not the best)!!!!!!

  • @DreadFox haha ur right! but i will always love stark :P

  • @DreadFox Better than twilight, yes. But i cant choose between VA or HON

  • @justinbieber1117 That IS a tie. Both feature a strong female protagonist, an exciting plot/ engaging love story and is well-written. It's such a shame that Twilight was the book that started the trend. It's all right, but there are so many other vampire books out there.

  • Just finsihed Blood Promised about twnety minutes ago and my mom won;t let me buy Spirit Bound until I get a job! Ugh. No one in my town is even looking for workers... (Must borrow money from friends). They owe me... *Evil look*

    Awesome series. Awesome characters. Awesome COUPLES! Rose and Dimitri just fit together. Love them. Gosh, why are forbidden romances always so heartbreraking? T^T

  • @SingerStarrManning2 aww its only $20, but well worth it!! spirit bound was amazing

  • LOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEE THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Possile movie is 2013?! AGH!!! TOO long even if it is a movie DX

  • I don't want Rose to die :( Dimitri would NOT allow them to kill her because of the queen incident. Neither will Lissa.

    And I'll be SO angry if something happens to Rose and Dimitri >_<

    *sends a silent prayer to Richelle Mead* pls let my 2 fav characters in the world be happy and safe :(

    Also, the writer seems sooo nice... She's like a fairy :D I dunno why she gives me that impression xD

  • im on spirt boundd:):)

  • Ditch Twilight!!

  • @crazyphreak92  i know right?! SO MUCH BETTER THAN TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!

  • @crazyphreak92 yeaahhh

  • @crazyphreak92 don't even read it!

  • @crazyphreak92 agreed.

  • @chloe21091, I agree. They wouldn't put in every detail and that's what makes it what it is.

  • I hope they make a movie for this series but a good one...not crap like the first and second twilight movies

  • Last Sacrifice will be the last book about Rose, but it'll be followed by a spin-off series still set in the Vampire Academy world. Side characters we know from the current series will now be our main characters, and there'll be a whole new storyline (not the last one told from a different perspective). So far, there is no title or release date info for the new series. Expect it in 2012.

  • heeey :)

    i just made a video i would really like some feedback theres also an offical facebook page about movie information :) This is why i made the video it was a weekend assignment

    and yes the movie is really in the process but they need all the fans they can get so please hoin :)

    Tell me your thoughts good or bad i still wanna hear from you :)

    this is what its called

    VA Sprit Bound : Rose VS. Queen Tatiana

    anyway my video is called

  • @thecrunkkgirlss can u post the link for that site?

    

  • i wish these were being made in to movies i think they would be better than twilight and i LOVE twilight lol....i cant wait for her final book spirit bound made me freak out...no lie and the ending was a major cliffhanger too like i hope that dimitri will take rose bakc now that hes alive...but in a way i want her to be with adrian...idk
