Vladimir Tod has been learning a lot about his vampire abilities. Otis has spent the summer training him on extending his telepathic communication. He is also getting better at sensing when other vampires are near. Both Vlad and his Aunt Nelly have gotten used to Otis being around and hate to see him go, but since Otis is still a fugitive in the vampire community, he knows in order to keep them safe, he must leave.

Vlad’s life seems to be going great. He has the girl of his dreams More...

Minions unite! Vlad is back and now in the tenth grade. Fans of this series won't be disappointed.

Vlad should be happy. The girl of his dreams, Meredith, is his girlfriend. Henry is his best friend. And Snelgrove, his middle school principal, is no longer in his life.

Well, apparently some things do change when you get older. One thing is his uncle Otis has been gone for a long time. Vlad is having terrible nightmares and Henry is acting funny by not wanting to hang with h More...

TENTH GRADE BLEEDS takes readers on the continuing adventures of a young vampire named Vladimir (Vlad) Tod.

Vlad is different than most vampires. He was born a vampire instead of created. Since the death of his parents - vampire father and human mother - he's been living with his aunt. There have been some bumpy times, but with the help of his vampire uncle and his best friend and drudge, Henry, he' More...

I liked this book, but things are starting to get darker and scarier in Vlad's world as D'Ablo continues to look for ways to harm Vlad. And a new character in this book, Ignatius, wants to not only kill Vlad but make him suffer.

In this book, it gets harder for Vlad to drink blood from the blood bags Nelly brings home for him. He starts to crave Meredith's blood and feels ashamed because he doesn't want to become a monster. He meets a new group of friends, the Goth kids who hang out More...

I'm really enjoying this series. It's fun to watch a unique vampire/human hybrid deal with the teenage years. Vlad is an enjoyable character to follow, and it's easy to get caught up in his adventures and root for him. There's plenty of tension and drama to keep the book moving, but like the earlier books in the series, I found the pacing to be a bit too awkward. Too much time passes between chapters than should--a bombshell is dropped at the end of a chapter, only to be touched on weeks later a More...

In Vladimirs Leben ist endlich Ruhe eingekehrt. Er hat Joss' Angriff wie durch ein Wunder überlebt und damit bewiesen, dass er der Pravus ist und mit Meredith hat er endlich das Mädchen seiner Träume an seiner Seite. Doch wie so oft muss Vladimir auch diesmal Niederlagen einstecken: Der Rat hat einen Kopfgeldjäger auf ihn angesetzt, seine Blutdurst wird unstillbar und die Freundschaft mit Henry droht zu zerbrechen, weil dieser nicht länger sein Lakai sein möchte. Und dann bricht auch noch der Ko More...

I thought that this book was very interesting. When Vlad has to deal with people hunting him down to steal his vampire ability, it's not easy trying to live a "normal" life. I think the thing that hooked me most into this book was the way he dealt with being a vampire. Because I did not read the first two books, I thought that by the look of the cover that he would be one of the evil people trying to actually SUCK everyone's blood which is definitely not the case. It must be hard for V More...

This Series is just to great for words. Not once have I ever been bored with a book in the Vladmir Tod series, his life is just to intresting, and horrible, and great to ever be bored.

The evil vampire president D'Ablo is still on the hunt for vlad hoping to drain him from his pravis powers, Henry is beginning to become more and more distant from vlad, Eddie is still on vlads heels about exposing him as a vam More...

Finally! Three books into the series and we get actual character development!

After the second book I found myself wondering wither or not it was such a good idea to keep reading this series - after all I hadn't found myself finding anything in them so far that had really captured my imagination. The characters still seemed rather flat and it was time, after 200 pages with them, rather than writing that made me feel as if I had a right to claim any familiarity with them. However Brewer More...

The book Tenth Grade Bleeds by Heather Brewer I think is a perfect extreme example of what being a teenager is like. The book is about a teenage vampire named Vlad Tod in tenth grade who is trying to hide the fact that he is a vampire. The only people that know that he is a vampire are his best friend Henry and his Aunt that takes care of him. His parents were killed by other vampires when he was eight. The whole book is about Vlad trying to fit in at school and escape any More...

Vlad has entered tenth grade. He and Meredith – the girl of his dreams – are officially boyfriend/girlfriend, but his best friend and drudge Henry is pulling away and his uncle Otis has once again refused to stick around for good. Throw into this a visit from D’Ablo, horrific nightmares and a growing hunger for blood straight from the source, and Vlad’s school year is not looking good. Oh yeah, and it looks like he migt be the Pravus after all.

Vlad is definitely growing from the first More...

This book is about a vampire, Vladimir Tod, who is trying to balance his struggling social status at school and his relationship problems all while fending off vampire slayers around every corner and while fighting is need to drink human blood. This book is the 3rd in the series and as it goes on, you can really start to see changes in characters.

This is the third book in the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series.

Vlad is now in the tenth grade, and it looks like things are finally starting to go his way. The bullies seem to be staying away, his dream girl is now his girlfriend, and his uncle has stayed all summer.

However, all good things come to an end. After his uncle leaves, Vlad can't get in touch with him when he needs him the most. He finds out most kids still think he's a loser--even though he's with Meredith More...

Well...I find myself at a loss for words as I close this book after the last page. It is not what I expected so I am totally blown away at the way the story line for this 3rd installment in the series was laid out. Jam packed with chapters that keep you on the edge of your seat, this book delivered an amazing next chapter for Vladimir, a half human-half vampire teenager.

We find that Vladimir's mental list of enemies increases yet again and his very existence continues to be at stake; More...

Vlad enters tenth grade this year. Unfortunately his uncle Otis has to leave again. He is running from the council and trying to find a “ritual” that could supposedly take away the powers of the Pravus and transfer them to the person performing the ritual.

Everything seems to start going bad for Vlad. He is once again being stalked by someone that wants to kill him. Eddie Poe is still lurking behind every corner taking pictures and stalking him, sure to find some way to prove that Vla More...

Having survived a stake to the heart administered by a one-time friend, Vlad Tod finally has to admit the very real possibility that he is in fact the Pravus of vampire legend. It's not something he really wanted to face. It was bad enough when other vampires wanted to kill him when they only THOUGHT he might be the one fated to lead all vampires and enslave all humans.

Vlad's vampire uncle has left him to take care of some important vampire business and Vlad feels more alone than he's felt in a long time. Though he has the girl of his dreams, he finds it hard to keep his cool around her. Not just not looking like an idiot around her, but keeping himself from draining her of her life. Once he finds an alternative to blood bags that satisfies him a little more, Vlad's ever growing hunger is kept at bay. Though he realizes a little too late that the nightmares he More...

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was action packed all of the way through. I liked how at the end of the book, it showed you some of the vampiric language. Something that i didn't like about this book is that at the end vlad broke up with maredith and he told he that he never loved her. Even though Vlad did that for her own good, because he thought that he was going to hurt her, it was a very sad part of the book for me. I think that Vlad should have just told her the truth, that he was a More...

I wish I remembered why I didn't immediately read this after the 9th grade book, because right now... it makes no sense to me that I didn't immediately start 10th Grade Bleeds. I'm so glad that I was able to see Heather Brewer speak recently and remind me that I haven't finished this series yet.

As the story goes on about Vlad (Vladimir Tod) Vlad starts 10th grade and so far he doesnt like it because he is still being bullied by the two bullies that started bullying him since he came to the school. Almost every time he is being bullied his best friend Henry comes to save him. So ever since Vlad had found out that Diablo isnt dead that Vlads other bestfriend was a vampire killer. Then Vlad and him fought because it was his friends job to kill him. Then they fought and he had stabe More...
