Why haven't I been reading this series already? Vladimir Tod's story is a great vampire story - nothing sparkles, but Tod's half-human, half-vampire nature leads him to claim to prefer to not drink human blood (so kind of a vegetarian). The Slayer/vampire conflict will resonate with any Buffy/Angel fan, but the bromance (sorry, I just couldn't help myself there) will really appeal to male readers.

Another blood sucking suspense by Heather Brewer,Eleventh Grade Burns. Vlad starts his Junior year with slayers gaining on his back.

A new character joins the suspense named Snow.Ever sense Vlad met Snow at the crypt...more
I chose this book because I enjoyed the first book of Vladimir Tod and I wanted to know what would happen to him. In the book Vlad is being hunted by Dorian, a Vampire with a taste for interesting blood, and D'ablo who has been trying to get Vlad since the beggining. Not only is that bad enough but Eddie Poe, a photographer who knows Vlad's secret, posts some very interesting pictures about him in the school's newspaper. My favorite quote was “Let’s go eat turkey before I beat the crap put of my...more

I enjoy this series, so I'm happy to see that the fourth entry is just as strong as previous ones. Vlad is maturing; I'm particularly impressed by how he handles Snow. Not every teenage guy would act so honorably when faced with a hot girl who was in love with him. He faces his enemies with the same aplomb. I'm excited that we learn more about the Pravus prophecy, because it seems impossible that Vlad could grow up to be a bad guy.

Let me start off by saying, the ending of this book left me with my jaw on the floor! Didn't see THAT coming!!!
In this book, we see the return of Henry's cousin and Vlad's former friend, Joss. Vlad made a tough decision at the end of book 3 and must deal with the consequences in this and the final book in the series.
Otis makes a return to Bathory and Bathory High School...as a teacher. Vlad is enjoying having his uncle around more often, but it won't be long before he'll be gone forever. And a n...more

Vlad and Otis are facing the reality of their actions concerning D'Ablo in the impending trial. All manner of vampires, including Vikas, have been arriving in Bathory to help prepare Otis for the trial. One of these vampires is a strange one called Dorian who has a taste for Vlad's blood and who seems to have more secrets than he is letting on. The blossoming romance between Otis and Nelly has made the stakes even more intense than any of them could have imagined. As if all this wasn't enough to...more
In the fourth installment of The Chronicles of Vlad, we see the reappearance of Joss (Henry's cousin who Vlad befriended previously only to discover he was a vampire slayer via a stake in his chest)who has recommitted to his slayer vengeance against vampires and swears to kill Vlad this time. Much of the book deals with Vlad's response to Joss's reappearance and the pending trial of Uncle Otis who is under a probable death sentence for his "crimes". A new and intriguing character is introduced i...more

As always this book was amazing, I mean what else should you expect from Heather Brewer and her series of Vladmir Tod? If you thought book number 3 was action packed and amazing, then you really should brace yourself for book number 4! The blurb to this book explains eveything that happens in a nut shell:
"Eleventh grade at Bathory High is draining Vladimir Tod. Joss, a professional vampire slayer and Vlad's former friend, has moved back to town. The powerful vampire Dorian has an overwhelming d...more

I just finished this book a few weeks ago. I have followed Vlad since the first book. Mostly, the cover caught my eye, and as expected, the synopsis on the back sealed the deal. I was kinda iffy on the first couple of books, even though I did like them because evryone wants to compare to Twilight. These books stand alone, and are very much the male response to Twilight. But the biggest thing is that these books MAKE SENSE. They're vampires! They drink blood. They maim. They kill. As sadistic as...more
this is another book in the chronicles of vladimir tod. its the 4th book and my friend recommended this book me and i thought it was amazing. it is about this half vampire half human kid named vlad. he is going through a lot of difficulties, one of them being his drudge does not want to work for him anymore, in order to do that he has to bight henry. and vlad is not quiet ready for that. his girl friend wants nothing to do with him any more. because in the last book he bit her, and nearly killed...more
What did I think of Vlad and his world? I loved it, both as a mom and a reader.
The author did a great job dropping in past events so I had no problem understanding what was happening in the book. Vlad is a teenage vampire who's entering his junior year of high school. Instead of worrying about AP classes and ACT or SAT tests, he's trying to keep his family together, protect his friends and keep himself alive. I loved how the author kept Vlad down to earth, and slipped in things that would concer...more

I LOVED the end of this book. It wasn't at all expected, and as soon as I finished it I wanted more! Vladimir really matures throughout the course of the story, and I think his character becomes a lot more complex. At the beggining I was a little unsure, but by the end I cared for him so deeply.
Vlad matures a lot during the course of the story, mostly emotionally. Although he's a half-vampire, he's also a teenage boy. He has a lot to deal with even excluding his vampire issues.

Joss moves back to town much to Vlad’s dismay. Joss is still out to fulfill his Slayer responsibilities by getting rid of vampires. It makes the school year pretty tense.
Vlad is still mooning over Meredith even though he dumped her for her own protection. He is still feeding on Snow his second drudge.
Otis is keeping his promise by staying in town. He took a job at the High School. He is now awaiting his pretrial.

I love cliffhangers! This book may not have had much action, I very much enjoyed how it went, it still had me hooked the whole way through. I'm not sure who I like better... Snow or Meredith? I feel that Snow is more for him, but that's for the author to decide, right? I'm not sure how to describe how I feel when I finish an extremely good book (this no doubt one of those) but I have a feeling I'll have to wait a few days until I start a new book just so I can think about what will happen in the...more

This book.
This book has given me more emotion than I ever thought possible. Like...I thought My Sister's Keeper was bad. But Eleventh Grade Burns flew me out a window and laughed at my misery. I screamed at it, I cheered at it, I wanted to throw it down (for reasons of raging dread). If you are avoiding this because of vampires, don't avoid it. Please. This is good YA.

These days, life is a mixed bag for Vladimir Tod. On the one hand, his beloved Uncle Otis is staying in Bathory this year, so Vlad will finally have him around when he needs him. Then again, the reason Uncle Otis is hanging around is that the Elysian Council will be trying him for crimes against vampire-kind. And it's not like Uncle Otis isn't guilty. Sure, he committed the crimes to save Vlad from the insanely evil D'Ablo, who wants to steal Vlad's Pravus powers, but vampires aren't that big on...more

This is my last read for Carl's R.I.P. Challenge, and I have to say I picked a good one. I've enjoyed the entire series from the very first page of the first book and feel that it has definitely picked up speed through the next three books. With one book left in the series, Eleventh Grade Burns lives up to its predecessors and remains a breathless read.

The book, "Eleventh Grade Burns" is the fourth book of the chronicles of Vladimir Tod's series. This time, Vladimir has to suffer grade 11 but also the evil of D'Ablo. With help of Henry, Otis and Vikas, life can't be that bad for expect for the fact that Joss is coming back. The same one who almost kill Vlad the last time he was here. He learns more technique about his vampire skills and still having romance with a girl named "Snow". He learns more about his prophecy as the Pravus with a vampi...more
This book is freaking awesome, it's set in a high school - and for my age, that's awesome. I got scared of being 30, this book reminded me of my teenage years, and confirmed I wasn't alone. Shit, I would've been at the damn table sittin by him hoping he'd take me away. Hell SNOW WOULDVE BEATEN ME Up that's how much of a nerd i was in HS lol. I was a comic book, quasi goth who had no clue in hell what was up or down... let alone who she was. I wanted to be a vampire then, it was cool - but i didn...more

I thought that the book was pretty good. There were a lot of suprises in this book that you would never guess. I would say that this is one of the best books (in the series) so far. I haven't read twelfth grade yet but im planning on it. My favorite character was probaly Vlad. Also in this book Joss is back you may know him from the second book in the series. So joss is back and he is better than ever. Later on in the book Joss and Vlad make a truce so in the day there friends,but at night there...more
The only thing I can say after finishing this book is....Oh... My... Goodness!! This book was FILLED with twists and wonderful teenage drama. Vlad still attempts to renew his friendship with Joss, there is a new girl on the scene, plus there is the little life or death situation with his uncle. Everything goes down in this book and by the end... if you aren't thinking "Did I read that right?" as you reread the same page just to be sure, you are not human.

Frankly, I was getting a little bored with Vlad and the rest of the Bathory gang at the end of the third book in the series, “Tenth Grade Bleeds”. The story was becoming entirely too bloody for me. Yes, yes I know that Vlad and his cohorts are vampires, but do I have to read about blood wine and their feeding habits? Perhaps the problem is that the primary audience for the series is the YA set and I’m a long way from that age group. Suffice it to say that I read this book, as I do most YA books,...more
I read the uncorrected galley.
In this book Joss the slayer returns to Vald's town and this time he knows what Vald is and he really wants Vald dead. However, Vald who is now sixteen (p 266), is overflowing with angst, and doesn't care that he has a slayer after him because he's had to breakup with his girlfriend, Meredith (for her own good, of course). He's also quazi-dating his hot goth drudge, Snow. I utterly fail to understand the appeal of Meredith, but there it is, both Joss and Vald are al...more

In my opinion, THE CHRONICLES OF VLADIMIR TOD is the best book series. As a reader and reviewer, I want to make sure everyone knows about this awesome series. I give this book a grade of 100%. The best parts are the beginning, middle, and end. (Like I’m really gonna give away parts of the book! There are people out there who haven’t read it.)
To me, there were no parts I didn’t like. My favorite character would definitely be Vlad and my least fave would be Joss—he needs to let go of his grudge. T...more

If I could change one character in this book, it would be Vikas. Vikas is important in this story. One of his roles is Vlad’s defense teacher. Vikas teaches Vlad how to defend himself against slayers. In a way, Vikas saved Vlad’s life.
If I could change Vikas, I would make him evil because Vikas plays an important part, and without him there to help Vlad, I don’t know what would have happened by the end of the story.
If Vikas was evil, Vlad would have nobody to teach him defense against slayers. M...more
