I don’t think its actually that underrated IMO. Its a very popular vampire series. I still see tons of people recommend it often, even though its quite an old series. I think people just tend to speak loudly about recently published books. And fae books are the new vampire fad of the early 00s. But if you posted asking for a good vampire book/series, or about favorite series in general, a lot of people repeatedly recommend it. That being said, I also enjoyed it when I read it years ago and would be one of those many people who would recommend it.
@Kristen I loved Adrian, but I could just never see him and Rose. Tbh I think he was the pity date for her. Even from the beginning you could just tell Romitri was it and they just clicked
The Bloodlines spinoff doesn’t pair up Rose and Adrian. It does expand a bit on the aftermath of that relationship, but you get to see Adrian’s own story fold out and it is just EPIC. You also get to read more about Rose and Dimitri (and their future?).
I loved the movie, yet to read the books. I felt for sure that Rose and Lisa were gonna get together because of their bond and how well they were together. Dimitri was just a bit weird for my liking. But this is based off my opinion for the film.
@Pamela Why are you so angry? The first book came out in 2007. It had its moment. It was super popular and then other books came. ?? I love the series and Richelle Mead is a goddess among men, but you have to be realistic.
Okay I’ll try to be respectful. I didnt comment for a reason, but since you asked… It’s an unrealistic opinion and reason. The Bible is old. Shakespeare is old. Harry Potter came out before 2007 and is still popular. So I found it to be completely and utterly ridiculous.
A lot of people think that the books suck because of the movie, I had to convince a lot of my friends to just read the books and forget about the movie
@Lise reverse harem (plural reverse harems) A group of someone’s boyfriends and/or husbands in a polygamous household. A genre of anime and manga in which a woman is the love interest of three or more men.
I didn’t like Vampires either, but then I read the books and I loved the characters for who they are, my love for the series has nothing to do with the vampires really, they were just necessary to make the story, you should really read the books, you’ll love them !!!!!!
@Jessica magic, the 4elements + spirit in the original series, in the spin-off (bloodlines) there is also human magic, as for creatures, it are just 3 kinds of vampires, humans, and psi-hounds (of whom I still think are just regular dogs), so no werewolfs or all that stuff
My mom introduced me to Vampire Academy, when only the 4th book was published. I read the first two books in the same night even though I was suppose to have gone to bed. I was obsessed!!! I still get thrilled everytime I read them. Really is my favorite book series.
I have been wanting to read it, after hearing a lot of my friends say it is an awesome series. But, sadly, I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.
Please read it. It’s really worth the read. It’s action packed and the romance is steamyyy
They are amazing
I love dimitri ?
Love this book series!!
Top 5 for me! Its the series that got me into reading!
Same

I also love the Vampire Academy series and Bloodlines series as well with Adrian is also my favorite.
Loved it!!
Dimitri and Adrian can I have them both, and Christan too?
You can have Dmitri and Christian hahah
Love it
Love it!!!!
It is one of my favorites!
Amazing! I gotta reread it though
Loved it! Love Dimitri. I was so gutted with the crap movie though. It could have been awesome!
I absolutely love this series. Love Adrian. ?
I do
however its been a while since I last read them
Omg there is a series??? I have read the books, n loved it…. Any idea how I can watch the series?? Its not there on Netflix!!!!!
No there’s a movie out but no tv series
@Swati it’s actually a movie. But i wud suggest not to watch it? it’s awful
Same here…I happy that the production is thinking of something, but sad how underrated it is ?
I loved it and really loved bloodlines the spinoff
My second favorite series! Dimitri Belikov is my favorite heartthrob
haven’t read Bloodlines though. I kind of want to preserve the last few Romitri ?
You should totally read the Bloodlines spinoff! Romotri stays strong! (and you get to learn SO many things left unspoken from VA)
But Adrian…..girl…..you need to know his story and why so many people absolutely adore him! I loved VA, but I think I loved Bloodlines more tbh.
@Kristen I loved Adrian, but I could just never see him and Rose. Tbh I think he was the pity date for her. Even from the beginning you could just tell Romitri was it and they just clicked

Read it three times and am planning on reading it again ??
I’ll admit it. It’s terrible, however I freaking love it!
My love DIMITRI
?
?
I’ve only read the first book. I got distracted with The Shadowhunters world and Throne of Glass. But I swear I’m going to come back to it!
@Theresa If you’ve finished with ToG and need something to read then go ahead. Although SJM hangovers are pretty hard to get rid of.
@Abbie I just started heir of fire. So I still have a ways to go! LOL
@Theresa Good fucking luck. You’re in for one hell of a ride. ? Heir of Fire is a fan favourite.
Love it!!! My favorite series, I reread it a few times a yr
I love the whole series.
One of my favorite series!
I’ve read the first 5 need to get round to reading the sixth eventually.
One of my favorite series! I also love the spinoff series bloodlines
I loved it
One of my favorite series ever!
I dont think they are underrated, I think people dont talk a lot about the books because they are old.
I love VA!!!!
I wish they would redo the movie and finish them or make a tv show for the series and then do the same for Bloodlines series.
I love them and wish she would write more
Re-reading now
Currently on Spirit Bound ?
I have got to read it I think I was on spirit bound when I stopped. I just finished koa maybe will have a chance to pick it back up
I loved them and I still need to read the “Bloodlines” series
I don’t think it’s underrated. It’s actually pretty popular imo.
I love them. It is my favorite series.
There is vampire academy groups on Facebook
Love it but Bloodlines was better
I loved the movie, yet to read the books. I felt for sure that Rose and Lisa were gonna get together because of their bond and how well they were together. Dimitri was just a bit weird for my liking. But this is based off my opinion for the film.
@Taylor-Kita yeah he is old in the film he is written much differently in the book, they’re definitely worth a read
Yeah I need to buy them first or get the ebook. Its defo on my book bucket list.
I have done the same.. I have to wait until I can read them.
I loved it so much
It’s not underrated, it’s just old. ??
@Pamela Why are you so angry? The first book came out in 2007. It had its moment. It was super popular and then other books came. ??
I love the series and Richelle Mead is a goddess among men, but you have to be realistic.

ME!! DIMITRI HAS BEEN MY BOOK BOYFRIEND FOR 10 YEARS.
I LOVE IT!
I don’t mind it but it’s not a favourite series! Adrian And Alissa both annoyed the hell out of me. I liked Dimitri, though.
@Hannah Alissa??
@Shreya I meant Lissa! My phone autocorrected!
OMG that series is great !!!!!!!!!!!!, but I feel you about Adrian, at first he annoyed me, bu then I got to ‘know’ him better
I haven’t read all of them, but I loved what I read. I’ve been thinking about going back to reread and finish them.
@Sarah Please do
It’ll be worth it trust me !!!
I’ve read books 1-3 and half of bk 4
I love Vampire Academy and Bloodlines and well anything by Richelle Mead I just finished The Succubus Blue series and Now I’m reading Storm Born
Yesss storm born
I was surprised because it was MUCH better than I thought it would be. My first impression was based on the movie trailer
A lot of people think that the books suck because of the movie, I had to convince a lot of my friends to just read the books and forget about the movie
Still haven’t seen the movie ? It just looked TOO juvenile
It was a stupid movie, personal opinion
Good, saves me the trouble of watching it
Yes!
I love it. It’s my favorite
One of my favorites ♥️
I luv the books and luv the movie I have all of them
ME!!!!!
Im buying it now! Is it a reverse harem? I see a few comments with multiple male character names
@Tenaj It’s one of the best stories you’ll read… You’ll like each of the boys here
So it is a RH? I love RH so I’m totally down lol
it isn’t a RH unfortunately but it doesn’t make the book any worse
Can I ask what RH is? (reverse harem but what does it mean?)
@Tenaj It has many men vying for a girl but it’s not that light a novel…. It has deep themes…
@Lise reverse harem (plural reverse harems) A group of someone’s boyfriends and/or husbands in a polygamous household. A genre of anime and manga in which a woman is the love interest of three or more men.
Thank you !!!!!!!!!!
@Shreya sounds like my cup of tea! Thank you
@Tenaj You’re welcome… Do read
I bought the last book years ago thinking it was the first ? I’m not a huge fan of vampires but I want to get into this series anyways
@Jessica It’s not solely about vampires
Then maybe I’ll like it then! What other creatures/fantasy elements are included?
I didn’t like Vampires either, but then I read the books and I loved the characters for who they are, my love for the series has nothing to do with the vampires really, they were just necessary to make the story, you should really read the books, you’ll love them !!!!!!
@Jessica magic, the 4elements + spirit in the original series, in the spin-off (bloodlines) there is also human magic, as for creatures, it are just 3 kinds of vampires, humans, and psi-hounds (of whom I still think are just regular dogs), so no werewolfs or all that stuff
@Lise hmm I’m going to try out the series now, thank you ?
you’re welcome
THATS MY FAVORITE BOOK SERIES!!!!
I love that book series! And bloodlines!
My life and my love ?
Loved the series ?
Loved it
Love Rose
Dimitri and Adrian ??
Adrian is my favourite ?
Couldn’t agree more…..team Adrian! All the way
Have you read bloodlines?
The first four books! But now I will have to reread them before I dive into this series again!
OMG bloodlines is amazing
This is true!
I wish there’s gonna be another series with Adrian in
We should definitely start tagging Richelle
@Vatsala I think since the new series is about Declan… So we’ll get our fare share of Adrian there. @Kayla isn’t it?
Omg
There’s going to be a new series?
I love Adrian. He is in rank 2 of the male characters I love. The first is Magnus bane. I didn’t like his own series though
Magnus Bane is amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!! but Dimitri belikov will always be my favorite fictional love !!!!
My overall favorite series ever !!!!!!!!!!!!! Addicted to the books for 7 years now ????????????????
Half blood by Jennifer Armentraut is very similar tonVampire Academy ,if you want something like that you can read it.
I like the Half Blood series as well
My mom introduced me to Vampire Academy, when only the 4th book was published. I read the first two books in the same night even though I was suppose to have gone to bed. I was obsessed!!! I still get thrilled everytime I read them. Really is my favorite book series.
