Plot summary[edit]

In Vampire Academy, guardian in training Rosemarie 'Rose' Hathaway and Moroi princess Vasilisa 'Lissa' Dragomir are brought back to their school, St. Vladimir's Academy, after running away one year previously. Upon their return, Guardian Dimitri Belikov, who was the leader of the team of guardians sent to retrieve the two, is assigned to be Lissa's guardian and offers to mentor Rose in her guardian training. He believes Rose can be an excellent guardian to Lissa due to the presence of a rare one-sided psychic bond to Lissa, which allows her to know the latter's thoughts, emotions, and whereabouts. Rose agrees, knowing this is the only way she will be allowed to remain, and on graduation, be Lissa's guardian. It is revealed that Lissa has a miraculous ability to heal others but when she becomes depressed she engages in self-mutilation. Lissa becomes friends with an outcast Moroi classmate, Christian Ozera which Rose immediately dislikes, stating that he is a bad-influence, partly because his parents voluntarily became Strigoi. They are tormented frequently by a non-royal Mia and her gang, because of her grudge against Lissa's brother for using her. Rose reaches through her bond while confined to her room to find that Lissa is being kidnapped. She sneaks out of her room to tell Dimitri that Lissa has been kidnapped, but they are distracted by a lust charm planted by Victor Dashkov, close uncle-figure of Lissa and father of Natalie Dashkov, Lissa and Rose's friend. After Dimitri disposes off the charm, Rose directs a convoy to the kidnapper's hideout, with Christian stowing away during the ride. The school guardians are able to rescue Lissa from the man she has called 'Uncle' all her life, Victor, and she heals Christian when he is fatally injured during the struggle. Lissa accepts him as her boyfriend after that. Dimitri reveals that he has feelings for Rose but cannot have a relationship with her because of their age difference, because he is her mentor and also because he worries that if he lets himself love her, he wouldn't throw himself in front of the princess, as his duty is, but he would be inclined to protect her. This may lead to danger to their assigned Moroi.

The story continues in Frostbite with Rose and Dimitri traveling to meet Arthur Schoenberg for Rose's Qualifier Exam. Once they arrive at the home of the Moroi family- Conta- he protects, they discover a bloody massacre of the entire family and their guardians, including Arthur. To keep the students at St. Vladimir's Academy safe, a ski trip to a lodge owned by a wealthy Moroi family is required right after Christmas. During her stay at the lodge, Rose meets a royal Moroi named Adrian Ivashkov, who flirts with her every time he sees her. During Adrian's pool party, Mason, his friend Eddie, and Mia begin voicing their opinions about hunting Strigoi. After a heated argument with Dimitri, Rose tells Mason confidential information about the possible whereabouts of the Strigoi's hideouts. Using Rose's information, Mia, Mason, and Eddie sneak out of the ski lodge and travel to Spokane, Washington, to hunt down the Strigoi themselves. Rose discovers their plan, and she and Christian follow to stop them. When they find the group, they are ambushed by Strigoi, who hold them captive for days. Rose eventually comes up with a plan to escape, and they all manage to get out of the house into the protection of the light, except Rose. Mason returns and attempts to help Rose, but the Strigoi snap his neck, killing him instantly. Rose defeats the Strigoi- with a blunt sword, in a rage over his death. Once back at St. Vladimir's, Rose receives two molnija marks for her Strigoi kills. Dimitri also tells her that his heart is with Rose and will never leave her.

Shadow Kiss begins with Rose preparing for the Qualifying Exam with the rest of the novices. Rose is assigned to Christian to her dismay. Christian is approached by Jesse Zeklos to join a secret 'club' he and Ralf have started, though Christian turns them down. Rose becomes suspicious, and tries to learn more about this club, which she later learns is called 'Mână' from Adrian. Rose goes to meet with Queen Tatiana. She insists that Rose call off her 'engagement' to Adrian. Tatiana then reveals that she has been planning a marriage between Adrian and Lissa. Lissa is approached by Jesse and Ralf to join Mână, and she accepts their invitation as a chance to spy on them, without Rose's knowing. Lissa is led into the woods and attacked by Jesse and the other magic users. Rose senses something is wrong and runs to Lissa's aid. She beats Lissa's attackers and Lissa tortures Jesse using Spirit. Rose realizes that whenever Lissa uses Spirit, dark emotions fill Lissa, which caused her to self-harm in the first book, and tells Lissa to let the dark emotion flow through their connection and into Rose. Lissa obeys, and Rose suddenly begins beating Jesse fiercely. Alberta and Dimitri appear, and Alberta has several guards take Jesse away, while ordering Dimitri to handle Rose, who is still in a manic state. After Dimitri comforts Rose, they sleep together in a cabin on the edge of the campus. When they start to go back to the school, they are attacked by a Strigoi. Dimitri sends Rose back to the school to warn the guardians. The guardians give Rose a stake and send her back to her dormitory, but she sneaks out to go after Christian. She and Christian combine their skills to destroy Strigoi. They go on a rescue mission and are almost close to winning when Dimitri is attacked and Rose later finds out that his body wasn't found. The ghost of Mason, who has been seen by Rose throughout the book, reveals that Dimitri was not killed, but was made Strigoi. Rose decides to leave the Academy, against Lissa's wishes to go after Dimitri and kill him. She decides to go to Siberia, believing Dimitri would go there first.

In Blood Promise, Rose meets an Alchemist named Sydney and they travel to Siberia, where she eventually finds Dimitri’s family...and meets Abe Mazur, a Moroi mobster. She eventually leaves after a falling out with Dimitri's sister Viktoria. She then travels to Novosibirsk to hunt and interrogate Strigoi in the hopes of finding Dimitri. When she does meet him, he takes her hostage and refuses to kill her. Instead, he says he will keep her until she decides to turn Strigoi to be with him. All the while, Rose keeps checking up with Lissa back at St. Vladimir's through the bond. Avery, a secret Spirit user, has been using compulsion to control Lissa. During a visit to Lissa's mind, Rose gets pushed out by Avery. Rose eventually manages to escape, grabbing a stake on the way out. Dimitri catches up with her, and they battle on a bridge, where Rose plunges her stake into his chest. Exhausted, Rose ends up at the home of an Alchemist friend of Sydney's, and Abe is there too. When she wakes up, she realizes Lissa is in danger with Avery, who wants to kill Lissa and then heal her back so that Lissa would be 'shadow-kissed' and bonded to Avery. With help from Oksana, Rose manages to guide Lissa and Adrian through the fight against Avery and her brother, Reed, and Avery's guardian Simon. Abe gets her a plane ticket home. Back at St. Vladimir's, Rose reunites with Lissa and shares what happened to her in Russia. After agreeing to re-enroll in school to graduate, Rose goes back to her normal life at St. Vladmir's. However, she soon receives a package from Russia, enclosed with the stake she used on Dimitri, and a note from him saying he was not really staked properly, and is still alive, waiting for Rose to finish school to find him. Rose realizes that with Dimitri still a Strigoi, she has a chance to restore him to his former life.

Spirit Bound begins with Rose passing her final exams. She plots with Lissa and Eddie to break Victor Dashkov out of his high security vampire prison. Once they succeed, Victor agrees to lead them to his brother, Robert, a reclusive spirit user who is rumored to have once returned a Strigoi to their original state. Robert tells them that the Spirit user must infuse a stake with Spirit and kill the Strigoi on its own. Lissa and Christian are kidnapped by Dimitri as bait for Rose. Rose leads a group of guardians to his hiding place and fights her way over to him. She is about to kill him when Christian encircles him in a ring of fire, while Lissa stakes him. Dimitri is restored as a Dhampir. He pushes Rose away, saying that he is no longer able to love. Rose turns to Adrian for comfort. The next morning at breakfast, Rose and Dimitri run into each other. In the middle of the discussion, a group of Guardians surround Rose, and Dimitri instinctively fights to protect her, but she calms him down. The Guardians announce her that Queen Tatiana has been found murdered with Rose's stake and she is to come with them.

Last Sacrifice starts with Rose being broken out of prison. Dimitri and Rose go to West Virginia with Sydney and decide to find Lissa's half-sibling. The only person with the information they need in an old teacher, Sonya Karp, who is now a Strigoi. Victor and Robert join them and Robert stakes Sonya, turning her back into a Moroi. Rose then takes Sonya to find Lissa's half-sibling. They discover it is Jill Mastrano, an old friend from the academy. Victor and Robert kidnap her. Meanwhile Lissa is put in the running for Queen. Rose, Dimitri and Sonya find Victor and Robert and get Jill back, but Rose accidentally kills Victor during a fight. Dimitri comforts her and they confess their love for one another. They then make love again in a luxurious hotel. It is revealed that Tasha murdered the Queen as she disliked her policies, and framed Rose because she was jealous of her relationship with Dimitri. Tasha shoots Rose while attempting to escape. When she recovers, she is no longer bonded with Lissa. The series ends with Lissa becoming Queen and Dimitri and Rose together.

Plot[edit]

Rose Hathaway, a seventeen-year-old Dhampir (half-human, half-vampire) guardian-in-training, and her best friend, Moroi (the peaceful, mortal vampires) princess Lissa Dragomir, are living discreetly, having escaped from the St. Vladimir's Academy boarding school one year prior. They are soon dragged back to the Academy in Montana and rediscover the dangerous hierarchy within it, along with lies, rumors and secrets, both struggling to fit into the school politics. Rose starts to form an attraction to her Russian Dhampir mentor and fellow Guardian, Dimitri Belikov.

Mysterious messages threatening Lissa start to appear, written on the wall in blood and an exploding memorial to her family in the school church, but it turns out to be the work of classmate Mia Rinaldi, who once dated Lissa's brother Andre, a playboy who enjoyed non-committal relationships. Mia was clingy and focused her hatred towards Lissa as the only surviving member of the Dragomir line. Manipulating two other students using sex, she persuaded them to help her in her fear tactics against Lissa. A Moroi named Christian Ozera, who is viewed poorly by his peers because his parents became Strigoi (the evil, undead vampires of legend, which Moroi become if they completely drain their victims of blood), tries to romance Lissa but Rose manages to keep him away by lying to both Lissa and Christian.

Rose also discovers that Lissa has the same rare power that the founder of their school St. Vladimir had, that of Spirit, a power which enables the caster to heal ailments, and save the dying; however, using Spirit drains the user's life energy bit by bit with each use. At the same time, dead animals have been popping up wherever Lissa goes, including her beloved cat Oscar. At the Equinox Dance, Rose confronts Mia, believing she is responsible for all the dead animals. Mia, however, is horrified because she loves cats and gave Oscar treats. Soon, Lissa is kidnapped and Rose, Dimitri, and Christian go to save her.

The Moroi responsible for Lissa's kidnapping and the threats against her is Victor Dashkov, a previous candidate for the throne, who has contracted a disease that leaves him too feeble for the job. He wants to use Lissa to cure himself, even knowing that the cure would cost Lissa's life as continued healing would eventually take its toll on her. Once captured and placed in the secure cells beneath the school, Victor explains to Rose that the reason she bonded to Lissa is because she was 'shadow-kissed', having been brought back to life by Lissa's magic. While they are talking, Victor's daughter Natalie, who befriended both Lissa and Rose and was a very insecure student at the school, is enacting the tools of her escape having turned Strigoi by draining her crush to death. Rose helps Dimitri kill Natalie and detain Victor.

During a speech by vampire Queen Tatiana Ivashkov, Lissa steps in and gives a speech of her own, announcing that Spirit is her type of magic, and that it is thanks to Rose that she can master it. Rose then goes outside to meet Dimitri and ask about his feelings for her. He states that he can't love her because if there was any danger between Rose and Lissa, he would save her instead of Lissa. Rose gives Dimitri a kiss on the cheek and walks back to the academy. A mountain cave not too far from the academy holds a massive army of Strigoi, among them being Karp, a teacher with Spirit Magic that turned herself Strigoi after being driven insane by her magic. She says it will be time soon.

As of February 16, 2014, the film had grossed $6,663,650, with many suggesting that poor box office returns will effectively end any plans for a sequel.^[29] After a month of theatrical release in the US, Vampire Academy grossed just $7,742,311 at the box office.

Poor international box office takings led to the cancelation of the film's theatrical release in Brazil and the United Kingdom.

Critical reception[edit]

Vampire Academy was not screened for critics,^[33] and has received overwhelmingly negative reviews. The film currently holds a 12% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 49 reviews, with an average rating of 3.2 out of 10.^[34] The consensus states: 'Though it may appeal to its built-in fanbase, Vampire Academy's Twilight-meets-Mean Girls conceit borrows lazily from its predecessors and offers few laughs or thrills to complement its overstuffed backstory.'^[34] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 30 out of 100, based on 14 critics, indicating 'generally unfavorable reviews' from critics.^[35]

The film was mostly criticized for its script, action sequences, and CGI effects, though the film's attempts to satirize the YA novel adaptation trend's cliches were warmly received.^[29]Peter Travers from Rolling Stone gave the film zero stars out of four and wrote, 'One idea, mixed with lame jokes, and stretched beyond coherence. Vampire Academy doesn't need a review. It needs a stake in the heart.'^[33] Dennis Harvey from Variety also gave the movie a negative review, stating it 'Not only plays like the crassest possible mashup of Harry Potter and Twilight elements, but seems designed to make those franchises look like eternal monuments of world culture by comparison.'^[29]Manohla Dargis from The New York Times said '[Mr. Waters] doesn't seem especially interested in the supernatural parts of Vampire Academy, and he clearly didn't have the budget to make what little hocus pocus there is, magical.'^[36]

The performances received a mixed response, with Harvey and RogerEbert.com's Susan Wloszczyna negatively comparing Zoey Deutch's performance to that of Ellen Page as the titular character in Juno,^[29][37] while Jordan Hoffman of New York Daily News called her work the film's 'breakout' performance while positively comparing her to Page. However, Hoffman criticized Gabriel Byrne's performance as 'obligatory slumming'.^[38] Harvey described Danila Kozlovsky's acting as 'so expressionless that he can in all honesty now say that he never acted in anything called Vampire Academy', while also criticizing Byrne, Joely Richardson, and Olga Kurylenko;^[29] Travers also panned the latter three, saying they were 'bringing shame on all their reputations'.^[33] Dargis praised Waters for providing 'a conspicuous sympathetic touch' to the performances of Deutch, Lucy Fry, Sarah Hyland, and Dominic Sherwood.^[36]

Accolades[edit]

Cancelled sequel[edit]

At the Los Angeles premiere, screenwriter Daniel Waters confirmed that he had finished the first draft of the script for the sequelFrostbite. After the critical and financial failure of Vampire Academy, sequel plans were put on hold. In an interview with a radio station, Mark Waters said that the producers were trying to make the second film of the franchise by using reused money and lowering the production budget. It was revealed on August 6 that they had investors, but that they would only finance the film if enough fan support was shown. A fundraising campaign on indiegogo.com was started with the goal of reaching $1.5 million within a month.^[32] The campaign offered perks for people who donated more than $10. Piers Ashworth wrote the script with filming planned to begin in early 2015 based on cast availability, and a possible release date for Fall 2015. Fans raised $50,000 in the first five hours and $100,000 on the first day. eBay auctions for character clothing such as the Academy uniforms and the Equinox dresses were placed in late August. A month after the start of the campaign, fans had donated $254,500, just 17% of the $1.5 million goal.^[32] Fans raised an overall of $272,882 from the auctions and the donations, therefore not reaching the goal. Preger Entertainment canceled the film the next day.^{[citation needed]}
