"In the wake of damp squib would-be YA franchise-starters like Beautiful Creatures and The Mortal Instruments, audience fatigue for Twilight-wannabes is at an all-time high. Not helping Vampire Academy's case is the incredibly generic title (which sounds like a CW web series), and the whole thing exuding a whiff of having jumped on a bandwagon a few years too late."
