Movie Monday #2-Vampire Academy

Hey! It's nice to be back posting after the weekend, even if that means school. I will from now on try to also post on weekends, even if it's just a review. I have a ton of books lined up to review so that shouldn't be a problem. I do on the other hand, want to apologize in advance for two things. In case you haven't picked up on it already, I am still in high school, and since winter break ended last week I have finals in my future, starting tomorrow actually, until Friday. Which is why, not only will today's post be shorter than I like, I might post less this week. I still will do my best to post WoW, but I probably won't be posting any reviews, and again I apologize in advance for that, but there's really nothing I can do about it.

Now that that's out of the way I present to you today's Movie Monday: Vampire Academy

 

I regretfully inform you that, the above is indeed the movie poster. (Regretfully because I really don't like it)

 Vampire Academy is by Richelle Mead, and is a series by the same name, this is the first book. Here is a short summary:

In the world of Vampire Academy, there are Moroi, the good vampires; Strigoi, the bad vampires; and Dhampirs, the protectors of the Moroi. St. Vladimir's Academy, is a school where Moroi attend to learn about their magic, and Dhampirs attend to train and learn how to protect Moroi.

Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, sworn to protect the last of the Dragomir royal line and best friend Lissa Dragomir. Rose and Lissa had escaped the academy, but are caught and forced back to the danger they tried to leave behind. Left with no choice but to stay, they join in on the school experience they left behind when they escaped, but they better be careful, you never know when a Strigoi might attack.

another summary:

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.

Trailers here and here

The trailers are pretty amazing (especially the second one!) and as much as I would like to say I was a fan of  the books from the start, that would be a lie. I read the books after seeing the trailer when I went to watch City of Bones.

If you want more info and stuff like sound tracks, gifs, and pics go here.



That's all folks! I do ask that you vote on the poll on whether I should do reviews on the Sherlock Holmes series, only 3 people have voted so far, and by looking at the page views here should be a lot more votes, and again it won't hurt my feelings if you say no, so please vote! If you're only then mobile version the go to the bottom of the page, select web version so you can see the poll (and vote!) There's only three more days left!
