this book was good. but it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. that was the problem. *sigh.
so, Lissa Dragomir is a Moroi princess: a mortal vampire that has magic powers (all Moroi do, but as they get older, they specialize in one only). She must be protected at all times from Strigoi; the fiercest and most dangerous vampires--the ones who never die. The only ways to kill them are a stake through the heart, decapitate(behead) them, and burn them.
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 made to be one, not born. Some people chose to be a strigoi, but some just chose to be one, for the immortality, but as they become one, they lose their humanity and their magic.
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.
Fear made Lissa and Rose run away from St. Vladimir's--but their world is filled 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, unless the Strigoi make Lissa one of them forever...
