I have just finished reading Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead and if I do say so myself‚ this book was a very interesting read. I have to praise Miss. Mead for keeping the suspense alive throughout the novel and toying with the idea of what a vampire is‚ which I created in my gothic novel‚ Dracula. I also admire her addition of “Dhamphirs” to the vampire genre and the names that she endowed these mystical creatures‚ like “Moroi” and “Strigoi”. I commend her various additions to the history of vampires

Richelle Mead is queen. I’ve said it before and I will say it over and over again. Vampire Academy‚ Bloodlines‚ Succubus Blues‚ Dark Swan‚ Gameboard of the Gods… each and every story she has created is full of life‚ laughter‚ and heartbreak. Soundless was no exception. Sure there were things that could have been better and things that I did not like‚ but the overall power of Mead’s writing was still there – and it was breathtaking. Soundless is about a village that rests up on top of a mountain.
