Bloodlines

  I regret not having read this book sooner.
  I never knew Richelle Mead continued to write another series after she finished The Vampire Academy.
  The Vampire Academy, despite its name, is not completely centralized on vampires. The reason why I enjoyed it so much, was because unlike some other vampire books, this book really created a whole society of vampires and made the vampires organized and together. They weren't just random vampires roaming the human society, or vampires that live in spooky houses in small towns. The vampires in the books were all part of something big, they were part of an society that has been there for a long time. I think that made it feel more real because every human in our society is part of something big too. Also I like how there are good vampires and bad vampires just like there are good people and bad people. But this was more extreme. There are the Strigoi and the Moroi. The Moroi are the good vampires and runs the whole vampire government, while the Strigoi are the evil undead vampire who are crazy for blood. Oh, and it is interesting because Moroi vampires are actually alive and they live a natural course of life, while the Strigoi are undead and live forever.

 Now, onto Bloodlines. Just like The Vampire Academy which had a main protagonist that was not a vampire, but a half vamp half human girl named Rose, Bloodlines also has a main protagonist who was not a vampire. Bloodlines is written in the point of view of Sydney, who we have encountered many times in The Vampire Academy. I am grateful that the author decided to bring back and use the other characters of The Vampire Academy because we really do truly love those characters. It not only makes the story more exciting, it also gives us a better chance of really understanding and going deep into the story.
