St. Vladimir’s Academy is no ordinary boarding school. After two years on the run, best friends Rose, a half human, half vampire, and Lissa, a royal vampire princess, are captured and send back to their school, St. Vladimir's. Until then, Rose had been keeping Lissa safe from her enemies. Back at school both girls have to deal with bullies, school drama and threats against Lissa’s life. The head of the school tells the girls that they are in no danger but Rose knows she is the only one who can really look after her friend.

This is the first in a series of books and is a great vampire story. It kept me interested right to the end. There is plenty of action with some unexpected twists. Rose is a tough but caring friend to Lissa and those she loves and is pretty likeable. The book does switch back in time a bit which was a bit confusing. Overall it’s an awesome book and is one story that is definitely worth checking out.
