But the struggle isn't over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there's still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure—and re-education—looms larger than ever.
Pulses will race throughout this thrilling fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.
Cover
Let's start with something I (andmost of the readers) have been thinking since the cover reveal. What happend to everyone's hair? I read this thing about Sydney having "a bed hair" on the cover and that was some kind of hidden message. A message that says: Sidney and Aidrian are having sex! That's not bed hair for me. The girl on this cover is blonder than the one in the other three. Is this the same girl? And is that Adrian? That loks like Marcus. Seriously, compare this Adrian to the one from the third or the first book cover! But let's move on to the real review now!Sydney and Adrian
Of course, I'm starting with them. They were the centre of this book. I think there was way too much romance in this book. Like 80% of the book it was all happy in Sidrian Land. Not that I complain. I love them both, but it was just too much here. They had a few fights, but they fought and then after five minutes were okay again or something happed and they forgave each other. Also, what's with Richelle Mead and ski resorts and cabins? Her main characters always get hot and heavy in cabins or ski resorts. It's just getting old now. Once was enough. Not that I complain. Not at all. Oh, also, I just love The Love Phone or the Phone of Doom as I call it now!!Adrian's POV
I loved Adrian's POV! It was just great to get to know him better. It's not all charm and good looks. This book was more his story than Sidney's. And I think no one ever realised how seriously Tatiana's death. And him hearing her. It was scary at times.Zoe
Real nice family you've there, Syd! I would like to behead them all. Well, not you mother. She is quite nice. Everyone in the fandom expected Zoe to fall for Neil and to change her Alchemist ways, but no. No, no, no. I would have liked this very much, but it didn't happen. Zoe deserves to know the truth about vampires and to be free from them and from her father and Richelle Mead better makes it happen!The Ending
Everyone talks about the ending now! Or at least they are going to whenthey read the book. I said earlier that Zoe should have fallen for Neil, but you know, Sidney had to go to re-education somehow. Right? Most people always say how angry they are about the ending and the cliffhanger in books. But think about it. If the author hadn't written it this way, would you have liked it as much as you do? Ok, that wasn't the right retorical question. Would you have felt the same way about the book you do now? Would you be as exited for the next book as you are now? I know, the ending is not the most important book, but it's quite important.So going back to this book. I really, think Sidney's the one to blame. She should have called Adrian on her real phone. Just a five second call. Something in the lines of:
Sidney:"Hey, you got the Love phone!"
Adrian: "No, I did not!"
Sidney: "Then who is texting me on it."
Adrian: "I have no idea. Just don't answer to any of the texts. I'm coming in five minutes and we will figure this out!"
Then-Presto!- no re-education for you, Sage! For such a smart girl that was a very stupid thing to do. Moving on! I loved this moment when Adrian found out what Sidney had said to Eddie before she went with her father. The Center will hold! It was just great. I was walking around my room when I read it and I just fell on my bed and started laughing. Not because it was funny, but because ít was either that or crying!
I think the last chapter- Chapter 24- was unnecessary. It was just Sidney being brave. We already know she is super brave and she loves Adrian. I guess it was to make the cliffhanger full.
Eddie, Jill, Angeline, Neil, Trey
And last, but least. Let's talk about the gang. The Eddie-Jill situation and the Jill-Angeline-Neil situation. Poor Neil! I really felt sorry for him at some point in the book. He was being used by both Angeline and Jill and he didn't even notice. He fell for this girl Olive and that was it. And then comes the times he was extra annoying. "I'm much more experienced than Eddie. SO I should guard the princess!" I swear that if I was there I would have beated the hell out of him. Well, maybe not alone. I would have asked Rose for help and maybe Dimitri. And then Lissa and Adrian can compel him to see something awful.Now I'm super happy about Jill and Eddie. I want to thanl Adrian for keeping Jill away from Neil and being witty and sarcastic. I have been waiting for them, Jill and Eddie, I mean, to get together since forever.
And Angeline and Trey. Well, nothing much there. I mean, they have to get together in the next book. Right?
So that's my review. I will be waiting for the next book, but not as excitedly as I want to. I won't die until it comes out. What do you think? What do you like and what do you hate about this book? Please, please, please, please comment! Pretty please! I know I might sound annoying, but still. I'm not going to stop posting reviews just because there aren't any people commenting! And one more thing. You can recommend this site to friends, you know?
I'll se ya next time! Bye!
