When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.
Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.
I loved loved loved Boodlines which is why I'm surprised some people didn't like it. Ever since reading Richelle's Vampire Academy she has become one of my favorite authors. Honestly, I like that she made this new series because at the end of VA it left you hanging with what ended up happening to Adrian, Sydney, Jill, ect. I also like that throughout the book everything ties with her VA series. Even though I miss reading Rose narrate, I don't think (like people say) that Sydney's a boring narrator. I actually find her pretty interesting and it's a nice change. Mead picked the perfect character for this series because you get to know how she really is instead of just being on the sidelines.
In the middle of the night Sydney is torn from her bed, thinking she's in trouble for helping Rose Hathaway. But it's way worse than she thought. Jill Dragomir, sister of the Moroi Queen, Lissa Dragomir, is in danger and has to go into hiding. Now Sydney has to pose as her sister and share a dorm with her at a private school in Palm Springs, California. It's the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty but there's a lot more drama than Jill and Sydney can handle.
Sydney is an alchemist and pretty much what they do is protect vampire's secrets and humans from vampires. A lot is excepted out of her and once you're an alchemist there's no way out. Also, she can't become to close to the vampires because her people believe that they're disgusting and unnatural. And if you get to close to them the alchemist start to question if you're a vamp lover and if you can really be trusted. The only reason why Sydney is one of them is because her father pretty much made it her life. And the alchemist originally asked for her younger sister to do this job but Sydney was trying to protect her so she volunteered. The golden lilly on Sydney's face is a tattoo that the alchemist use to have a little bit of magic to protect humans.
I feel SO bad for Adrian! After what happened between him and Rose in the VA series! If Adrian doesn't find someone in this series I'm going to steal him for myself. And towards the end of the book he starts to get better and more stable until.. something happens..(can't give away!). When I read that last sentence I was like oh hell no! I can't wait for book number two to come out! There's going to be so many twist and turns in the next book, I can just feel it. Overall Richelle Mead did it again, another phenomenon start to a new series!
Bye!
