I saw the book cover previously on Facebook...but I wanted to wait until the finished product finally debuted with the symbols on the characters faces.  I really think this is my FAVE cover so far because of the colors and the characters on the covers.  I'm looking forward to this book coming out next February.  Richelle Mead is a fave YA writer of mine.  I still have to read "The Golden Lily"...when I do though, it will be the only book I will focus on.  I can't wait to read more about Adrian.  *sigh*  Loved him in Vampire Academy and love him in this series.

My Review:

Let me just say that Richelle Mead has done it again. She wrote a book that I couldn't put down and left me hanging. Really...Richelle Mead? You seriously have me as a FAN Forever! I love your writing style, I love the stories you create and I love the cliff hangers, you always leave. I'm going to miss the Vampire Academy series A LOT and I'm definitely missing Rose and Dimitri. Especially, Dimitri because he has always been my FAVE Male character in the series.

Until recently though...when I started reading Bloodlines and got a glimpse more into Adrian's life and I have to say...Adrian has captured my heart now and I'm looking forward to reading more about him.

I love the character Sydney and wasn't really expecting too since I didn't really much like her in the Vampire Academy series...but since Richelle Mead has finally told her story, I feel so terrible for the woman. She has been put through hell. No wonder why she is the way she is.

Bloodlines takes you into the world of the Alchemists and explaining them more. It also takes you into the world of Moroi and not Dhampir.

You get to read about some main characters your used to, like Jill (Lissa's sister), Eddie, Adrian (of course), even Rose (who appears in the beginning), and Abe (Rose's Dad)...oh...let me not forget the end of the book you'll hear about even more characters...but I won't ruin that surprise. Let's just say the cliff hanger is AWESOME and I feel terrible for Adrian. Poor guy, can't get a break.

I love the storyline in this book and what Sydney and the characters have to go through. She is in charge of Jill and making sure she is kept out of the limelight since Jill was injured...well, you learned killed later on. I won't spoil it though. I want people who haven't read the book to not know the major plot of the story. Sydney is forced to be a high school student again and also go through high school dramas again. She comes across something in the high school that she has to investigate...she also learns that the Alchemist she has been teamed up with, isn't what he says he is.

It's a huge storyline that leaves you on the edge of your seat and you just want to keep turning the pages to find out what happens next.

You'll probably be furious with the ending just as much as I was...but it was a good furious.

Like I said in the beginning Richelle Mead, definitely knows how to end a book and I look forward to the next book in the series.

Can this series capture my heart like Vampire Academy did though? We'll see. =)

My Review:

I had a hard time putting it down, it was so GOOD! Thank you so much Richelle Mead for making me cry during this book. I cried not only because of certain parts, but also because it's the last book to Rose's story and let me tell you, I think this is by far the best book in the series. I love the ending!

Let me just say I'm looking forward to what Richelle Mead has in store for the Morois and Dhampirs.

I'm sad though that this is the ending of hearing about Rose and Dimitri. I love those two. Although in this book I feel so terrible for Adrian and I just wanted to go into the book and give him a HUGE Hug. It's just terrible. I'm hoping Richelle will clarify more on what will happen to Adrian.

I'm also excited on what happened to Lissa. Heck YES!! You go GIRL!!

I'm definitely wanting more about her.

I love how the author just had you keep guessing on the ending of each chapter, that is why I had a hard time putting it down.

My husband of course was ignored and my daughter was getting mad at me because I was reading this book, but they got over it once they realize it didn't take me long to finish this book. Once the book is interesting I have a hard time putting it down and from Chapter one to Chapter 36...I really had a hard time putting down "Last Sacrifice".

Now I have to wait another year and find out what Richelle Mead has in store next in a series.

Thank you again, Richelle Mead for writing this book . I definitely give it 5 full moons and like I said before it's my FAVE book in the series.

If you haven't read this Series yet...what are you waiting for?  =)  

It's way BETTER than the Twilight Series.
