ⓘ About Richelle Mead
While Richelle Mead is well-known currently for the new blockbuster about to hit theaters based on her thriving series Vampire Academy, she has many other series which will be close to follow in the Vampire Academy’s footsteps. One closely related to this is her new Bloodlines series, a spin-off of Vampire Academy. This is centered in the same conflicted, top-secret world of Vampire Academy where vampires keep themselves hidden in the upper class society, including a luxurious prep school filled with vampire royalty. However, in this series the main characters shift from the awe-inspiring vampire princess and her guardian to her younger sister and an alchemist.
