So first of all, don't read this if you haven't read the book yet!
So it starts with Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir and after their two year high school runaway, they are finally caught by the school's guardians and taken back. They are put back in school and part of Rose's 'punishment' is to train with guardian Dimitri Belikov to get her grades back up.
How it works in this world: Moroi are good vampires. Strigoi are evil vampires. Dhampir's are half vampires, made by a Moroi and a dhampir. Strigoi are either moroi who willingly turned OR moroi or dhampir's turned unwillingly. These live in the human world but humans don't know about them. They are regularly used to 'feed' moroi but will not be killed by one.
Lissa develops a relationship to a supposed strigoi wannabe. Then things begin to get weird. Lissa, whilst trying to climb the social ladder to the top, is being anomalously threatened. Through the book, various animals are ripped apart.
I should probably have mentioned, you find out that Lissa has special abilities. Some moroi have control over one of the four elements; fire, earth, water or air. Lissa however believes she does not specialise in any when in actual fact she has one of the most mentally strong; Spirit. And, unsure of why it is, Rose is able to see through Lissa's eyes uncontrollably. This bond tells Rose where she is, what she is doing and can sense her feelings.
As for Rose, the main character, whilst in training she begins to fall for her instructor. She begins to see him romantically and thinks that he might have feelings for her to but, of course, doesn't believe anything could happen between them.
In the end, it comes to a school dance and when Lissa is offended by her classmate, she runs of crying. Christian follows and is soon knocked unconsciously by unidentified guardians. Rose sees this through Lissa's eyes and runs for help.
She runs to Dimitri of course and attempts to tell him. As soon as he opens the door, she forgets everything (literally, like completely forgets). As soons as she touches him, they both recieve a spell and cannot get enough of each other. Right before they have sex though, the spell is broken and she remembers.
The guardians take off to save Lissa, captured by guardians. They torture her and the man behind it all: her uncle. He is very ill and must use her powers to survive.
So in the end, her uncle is put in jail, Lissa and Christian are okay, but Rose and Dimitri must stay apart though they both desperatly love each other.
It is the best book I have ever read and I strongly suggest it!
