Richelle Mead; Blood Promise

I know that the title of this post says that I will be reviewing Blood Promise, but actually I am going to review the entire Vampire Academy series. It has been awhile since I read the first three books in this series, so if this review is missing some information, I'm sorry. This is Great Books for Teen Girls.
This series is DEFINITELY worth reading. I mean it. I was actually a bit skeptical about reading it at first, mainly because I didn't think that the cover of the book was worthy*, and so I thought that it would be stupid. But, alas, my friend persuaded me to read the series, and it was amazing. Enough about that, though.
There are four books in this series so far, but there are supposed to be five in total. The books, in this order, are Vampire Academy, Frostbite, Shadow Kiss, and Blood Promise. The only ones that I have the number of pages for are Shadow Kiss (443), and Blood Promise (505). The genre of this book is Sci-Fi and Romance. I will warn you that Blood Promise is a cliffhanger, so if you don't like cliffhangers, beware.
Ok, moving on to the characters in the series. I think that the characters that are the most important to this series are Rose, Lissa, Christan, and Dimitri. I am not entirely sure when you meet Christian, and since it might be in the second book, I will not tell you who he is. Rose is definitely the main character, and then Lissa, because they have a bond that allows Rose to read Lissa's mind. Dimitri is equally important, because the entire fourth book revolves around him. He is Rose's trainer, and soon, he and Rose fall in love**. There are also many side characters that are important, but to find out who they are you need to read the series***.
I give this series a 491 out of 10 because it was just so wonderfully amazing and I am literally dying to have the next book come out. Even though the cover or release date are not out yet... So thank you, once again, for reading Great Books for Teen Girls.

I am not sure what book I will read next. A friend just recommended Willow, so possibly that...but who knows?

*Don't judge a book by it's cover. Really.
**Of course they fall in love, and of course it is a teacher-student relationship. Not allowed. Duh.
***Seriously, read it and all of your dreams will come true. (not really)
