Fear can do a lot to a person, so can love. If the Alchemists were to find out about anything that she’s really up to, it would be devastating. Not only is she hiding her romantic relationship with a Moroi vampire and her recent joining into a witches’ coven, but her Alchemist-in-training sister, Zoe, is now rooming with her.

Their relationship is one of the most romantic I’ve ever read and probably the most jealous I’ve felt for a fictional couple.Īnyway, now that Sydney is working against the alchemists, sans Marcus Finch and his ragtag team, she finds life getting complicated. But what it does with its characters, especially Sydney and Adrian, is beyond captivating. This book may not be swiftly moving or take us too far down the line in terms of plot. Sydney’s connection to Adrian is strong, and we’ve known him for about nine books so far, but finally being in his head makes you understand him in new and fascinating ways. While I was apprehensive when Mead first announced that The Fiery Heart would alternate between Sydney and Adrian’s perspectives, any doubt immediately erased after I read that first chapter. It starts with our first real look into Adrian’s head, and that alone completely brings you in. The Fiery Heart picks up not long after The Indigo Spell ends. Bloodlines is looking up to be just as good or even better than Vampire Academy.

Oh, where to begin with Richelle Mead’s latest installment of the Bloodlines series… If you are Vampire Academy fan and not on board with this series yet, what are you waiting for?
