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 by his side and...more

"Tenth Grade Bleeds" is the third book in the series "The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod". Vlad is now in tenth grade, and he is starting to experience the many struggles that come with high school. His temptation to drink blood from humans is increasing, his best friend Henry doesn't want to be his drudge anymre, his uncle Otis has moved away again, and on top of all of that there is a vampire mercenary going after him that was sent from Elysia, the vampire council. Vlad must deal with all of these...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 him like he used to. Plus...more

The reason I chose this book was because It was funny, full of actions, and it kind of showed how hard reality can be to someone. In the book, Vlad has to struggle and tries not to feed from humans. Not only that, but his Uncle has gone missing and Vlad and Vikas try to figure out what happened to him. Also, Henry, Vlad's best friend, doesnt want to be his druge anymore. The school year for Vlad is going to be very hard for him because of all these going into action. My favorite quote was, "“Pr...more

10th grade bleeds is the most unique book out of the vladimir tod series alot more things you have to think bout when you read. when you finish the book everything comes to your sences and the book gets ten times better.

this book is the third book in the series vlad is now in tenth grade and as you know from my last review has already started to experience problems that come with being in high school. now for vlad his craving for human blood increases magnificent. he gets a girlfriend named mer...more

This book, out of the series, is in my opinion the most boring. I feel like Vlad has the same enemy, D’ablo. The quarrels between them get old and boring, and start repeating the same fights it feels like no less. I liked the book, and his friendships get more and more interesting. This book I feel was very depressing. Vlad and Henry moving apart, along with Vlad and Meredith moving apart. Nonetheless a good book.
This book is actually very relatable to I think many people my age. Failing relatio...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 a The Crypt...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 Vlad being...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. In this book Vlad is in Tenth Grade and problems are rising to surface fater then ever. 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 powered u...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 evil V...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 book. He’s...more

One of the books I read this month was “Tenth Grade Burns” by Heather Brewer. 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.
Because I am a teenager, I can relate to some of Vlad’s problems. Thou...more

Tenth grade bites, but for Vladimir Tod, that's just a fact of life. Its not easy dealing with teenage angst, young love, and a failing friendship, especially when your half-vampire! Ever since Tod's "uncle" Otis showed up a year and a half ago Vlad, as he likes to be called, has had to deal with the potential reality that he may be the legendary Pravus, an immortal vampire descended to rule all vampires and enslave the human race. No pressure for Vlad, right? He's only got to...more

I have just recently read a book called The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod Tenth Grade Bleeds (book 3) by Heather Brewer. This book is about a boy who is fabled to be the Pravus, a half vampire half human, and he is being hunted down by a vampire who wants his power of invincibility, but he won't stay dead. I found this book interesting because not only dose it include real life teenage problems like girlfriend/boyfriend, appereance, ect., but it also has its own twist a boy who has to do all that p...more

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. Eddie Poe keeps followi...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; no pun inte...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 Vlad is a vampi...more

This third book in the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series was a letdown for me. I really enjoyed the first two, but I thought this one was stagnant in plot and and superficial in characterization. The "climactic" battle scene near the end was a total clique for me, in that the villain has the hero at his mercy, and therefore reveals all of his cunning mechanisms and past/future evil doings. I could picture him saying "Bwah hah hah! I've got you now, my pretty!" Seemed like a contrived plot device...more

Tenth Grade Bleeds: The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod by Heather Brewer ISBN 9780142415603

This is the third in the series and it continues to grow and develop in unexpected ways. Vladimir is upset for his Uncle Otis needs to go away and he is suffering through his tenth grade year. Henry starts feeling upset with Vladimir because a girl that Henry wants to date is refusing his advances and Vladimir won’t read her mind to tell Henry why. At one point Henry asks to be released from being a drudge bec...more

I am not quite sure where this series is going, but I was not really that impressed with this stop in Vlad's journey. It seems very much a middle of the road stop in a series. Its only redeeming quality is the ending, which is very full of information.

In all honesty, this book probably could have been shorter, but I can understand her feeling to make it longer. I feel it detracted from the book. It just wasn't that enjoyable to have Vlad and Henry fighting and while I understand his making frie...more

The book,"Tenth Grade Bleeds" is the third book of the chronicles of Vladimir Tod's series. This time, the life of Vladimir Tod can't be that bad even with D'Ablo still hunting him and high school is becoming sucky for him. It all add more when his vampire skills are almost over riding his mind and is becoming dangerous to everyone he cares. He begins to receive nightmares something to do with someone trying to kill. He meets up with a girl named "Snow" and fend off on her. With his hunger and...more

"It would be easier to be your drudge if you didn't order me around." - Henry McMillan to Vladimir Tod

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. Now that it looks like th...more

In Tenth Grade Bleeds, Vladimir (Vlad) Tod is beginning to see his powers come to life as he begins on his journey to becoming the prophetic legend of the Pravus. But now, just as his powers are beginning to advance over any other vampire's powers is when Otis, his mentor uncle, has to leave. But how can Otis leave Vlad with Ignatius and D'Ablo on a mission to kill Vlad? Otis leaves anyways and+ Vlad begins to have terrifying nightmares. They seem so realistic and every time he has them he awak...more

A wonderful continuation to the Chronicles of Vladimir Todd. This is probably my favorite so far for the following reasons:

I loved how Vlad's relationship with Henry is strained and tested through the book. When I started reading, I couldn't help but think of my own best friend in high school (and now) and having similar issues. All friendships are strained at one point or another, especially in high school when you are figuring out who you are. Friends come and go and everyone loses their fair...more
