Screen Rant: One thing that I remember the most is the friendship between Lissa and Rose. Screen Rant: I was a huge fan of the books as well-also during the Twilight era. When I first got the audition, I was like, 'Time to brush up.' And I watched it then, I watched it again during the audition process, and then so many times during filming. By that time, I'd probably watched it eight times.

Sisi Stringer: When did you watch the movie?ĭaniela Nieves: I watched the movie when we were like halfway through filming.ĭaniela Nieves: Yeah, I took a really long time before I saw the movie. And I finished the first book in like, literally two days. And then I ended up reading the books after I booked the role. I can tell this is going to be such a cool show.' And I remember I texted my manager and was like, 'Do you think I'll get a callback? Do you think that they'll like my tape?' It was like, 'We'll just see.' And then sure enough, I got the callbacks. I remember reading it and being like, 'Wow, I really hope that I get a callback for this. But I just remember that I got the audition, and I saw that it was Vampire Academy, and I was like, 'Oh, that sounds cool.' But then I read the sides that we were given, and I loved them. Sisi Stringer: And they were, like, bestsellers!ĭaniela Nieves: I still don't know why I didn't know about them. I called my sister and was like, 'Guess who I'm gonna audition for?!'ĭaniela Nieves: Me, on the other hand, hadn't even heard of the books. So when I got this audition, I was just so excited. I loved all the romance and the sexy stuff. It was like Twilight era, as well, so I was consuming a little bit of YA vampire content. I read the books as a young teen and I loved them. Screen Rant: Have either of you read the series? Or was there just something about the show that stuck out to you?
