The books are so much better than the movie. The movie left out so many important parts. If anything they show do a tv series so that they can squeeze in the important parts istead of taking it out. I also need a dimitri and rose wedding, I love them so much it hurts

If they decide to make it into a movie or show * instead* I really should have edited this before commenting

I'm a new fan of this author and the vampire academy series but how do I know what order to read them in? can anyone help.

The main series starts with Vampire Academy. There are 6 books in that series.

Vampire Academy
Frostbite
Shadow Kiss
Blood Promise
Spirit Bound
Last Sacrifice

Then a spin off series starts. It's about Adrian and a few characters from the first series BUT NOT the main characters. It has it's own characters and story line.

Then there are several Vampire Academy short stories that Richelle Mead has written too.

Prequels are

Sunshine, this is where Lissa's parents meet and fall in like/love.

The Turn and The Flame, this is when Christian's parents choose to turn Strigoi and go on a killing spree. They "Turn" and the "Flame" is how they're defeated.

The Meeting, is the first chapter of Vampire Academy, book 1, from Dimitri's point of view (POV)

Hello, My Name is Rose Hathaway, is about a festival that is in the fall between Vampire Academy and Frostbite. It's funny and lighthearted and a lovable story to read.

Adrian's Lost Chapter, this takes place on Adrian's birthday, August 3. This is the day that starts the Bloodlines's series.

Homecoming, is where Dimitri and Rose go to Russia to tell his family some good news.

Richelle Mead is currently working on a new story for the VA world but hasn't officially given any dates or news as to what the story will be about or when it will come out. It's just a new idea she's working on.

Most of the short stories are online free, but they are also in books if you want to read find them to read.

I absolutely love all of her books!!! I just wish she would write more.

She told someone in July that she is working on something new for the VA world. It was talked about on the Vampire Academy FB page.

I recommend Spirit Bound to those who haven't read it yet. You all will fall in love with the book. I have and I haven't been able to put it down ever sense.
