Based on the Novel is heading to Vampire Academy!

The movie adaptation of the much loved series by Richelle Mead will be released in Australia on March 6th. A month after the U.S.. Ugh.

Penguin Teen Australia is hosting a Vampire Academy Fan Event on Wednesday 19th February at Books Kinokuniya in Sydney which I will be attending and will get to meet Zoey and Lucy! As well as get a photo and autograph!

The Australian premiere of Vampire Academy is this Thursday 20th February at Event Cinemas George Street, and I will be attending! As will Zoey Deutch and Lucy Fry and Sarah Hyland...

So don't fear, all my readers/followers/myself as I am the only one who will read this post all the way through, I will post about my adventures with the Vamps (not the band) and will hopefully have some great experiences to share, as well as a movie review!

In 25 words or less...
These types of competitions suck.

The Vampire Academy spinoff series - Bloodlines

I like Vampire Academy. I’m not saying its the best literature or storyline, but it is interesting and fun. Which is basically what I look for in a book.

Bloodlines [Wikipedia]

Bloodlines is the spin off novel of the seven part series, Vampire Academy. This fresh story is the first in a new series which focuses on alchemist Sydney. This story is of Jill, Lissa’s younger sister, and her protection at a school in Palm Springs. The story has all your typical VA Dhampir/Moroi/Strigoi problems.

I realise that I am about 2 years behind in this review. I read VA at the end of 2010 and read Last Sacrifice just as it came out. I started reading Bloodlines at the end of last year and just kept putting it off until I finally finished it off in the past week.

If you enjoyed or loved VA I would definitely recommend this book. However, if you didn’t, this novel was along the exact same line so steer clear. This novel has a notable absence of a love interest for the main character, Sydney. Refreshingly different though it is, it makes me more excited to read the next book, The Golden Lily (I’m a sucker for teen romance!). The storyline is strong and the characters engaging.

Happy Reading!

*** – 3 stars
