Anyone who hasn't read the spin-off series to Vampire Academy, Bloodline series, should at least give it a try. Especially if you liked Adrian, since he's in it.

I actually saw the movie before I read the book. To me I thought the movie was pretty good, so I did what a movie fan does, I read the book.
As a first book, it had a lot of world building to do and I understand that with world building books the first usually doesn't have much of an interesting plot. After reading the first few chapters we learnt that there were three types of vampires: Moroi, Strigoi and Dhampirs. The author didn't tell us much about the Strigoi but just enough for us to understand the basics. The writing style is from the perspective of Rose Hathaway, a Dhampir. The writing style to me is pretty rare as I don't really see it often but I'm not that concerned about it.
This is one of those books with a huge deal of character development in it. I found that both Rose and Lissa changed a lot throughout the time span of the first book. Their roles kind of changed and became the opposite of what they were from the start of book. Towards the end I felt that I appreciated the characters a lot more and didn't dislike some of them as much as I did when I first started.
