Okay, if you're into the blood and gore vampire stuff, this isn't for you. This is the clean school version of a vampire series. WAIT!!!!! I didn't say it was bad, because it's not. Vladimir is totally sexy and all vampires usually are, its just a rated G version of a Vampire story. Okay, now that that is settled I can talk about how good the series is! The first four are already in book stores but the fifth book, Twelfth Grade Kills, won't be until September 2010. These are super easy and quick to read, but the story is great. You'll follow young Vladimir as he starts eighth grade and each book is a grad, obviously. Right when you start reading you'll be introduced to Vladimir and learn his plight. His mother a human and his father a vampire concieved him to be a rarity as vampires are forbidden to fall in love and marry humans. So his father runs from Elysia, the Vampire world, and raises Vlad as a "normal" child. What normal child doesn't drink blood with their supper? HA! But his parents died in a mysterious fire and left Vlad to figure out his vampire nature all on his own. In walks uncle and new vampire friends. Vladimir is believed to be part of a vampire prophecy in where he is the pravus and will rule over all vampire kind and enslave the human race. Each book is a step in which Vladimir learns more about himself and is one step closer in finding out what truly happened with his parents. You can't help but fall for Vlad and feel sorry for him in his situation. Not my absolute favorite series, but very enjoyable nonetheless. I would definitely recommend it.
I just read "Eighth Grade Bites" and loved it! I thought it was a great, light read and it kept me entertained, even laughing out loud at times. :) I have the 9th and 10th grade book but that's it. I'm anxious to read those now!
