I bought Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy earlier this year, read it, enjoyed it, but had so many other books I wanted to read I didn't read on into the series.
This week, I remedied that fact. I quickly read FROSTBITE, book 2 in the series, and was very glad to have SHADOW KISS, book 3 on hand ready to go.
If you don't know what the VAMPIRE ACADEMY series is about, here's a blurb:
Two races of vampires walk our world. One, the Moroi, are alive and wield elemental magical. The other, the Strigoi, are undead and evil--feeding on the innocent to survive. Rose Hathaway--a half-vampire with poor impulse control--is training to be a bodyguard for a Moroi princess. Learning to decapitate and stake is hard enough, but Rose's real danger may lie in an illicit romance with one of her instructors...
This is a strong series and each book gets stronger.
The characterisation is strong, which I love, and the action builds.
I also love a brave author who isn't afraid to kill off likeable characters.

Me? I'm off to grab Blood Promise and Spirit Bound to see what happens next!
Highly addictive reading.

Hi again. . . ah. . . well. . . hmm, it's Saturday for you, still Friday night for me. . . and, ah. well. . . guess you know what's coming, don't you? :) Never a Bride by Amelia Grey. And, nope, it's not contemporary. LOL I started it a couple days ago, but haven't read a lot since, so I could have actually had it done by now, but nope, instead I got to mention yet another historical here! ;)

I have a feeling your bookshelves must be bulging with books like mine, Lois!
Kate's books are great, Kerrin, enjoy!
I love how the vampire academy books just get better with each one!
You're so right, Suzie!
