Review of 'Vampire Academy' on 'Goodreads'

Bitlit meets Gossip Girl - beware :) One the one hand, the Moroi, vampires who, if you forget their specific diet, are... pretty regular people. On the other hand, Dhampir - half-human, half-vampire. Moroi and Dhampir all study in St Vladimir, the local vampire boarding school: Moroi because they do need an education, Dhampir because they are trained as bodyguards for Moroi, that's the way things go. Rose is Dhampir, and "her" Moroi is Lissa. We meet them as they get caught after two years of being on the run, and are sent back to school manu militari. Obviously, whatever danger they were running away from is still there. Hence, problems. Not great, but readable.
