Bloodlines - Richelle Mead
About: Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning...
Rating: ★★★★☆
Review: I'm excited to start this series, though there are a lot more books than I thought there were. While Sydney was never my favorite character, I do want more books in the world of Vampire Academy, and I love Adrian so I'm excited to see him more. And it will be cool to see characters like Lissa and Rose and Dimitri from eyes other than Rose's. I'm very excited and cannot wait to read them all. This first book was good, not amazing but pretty good. I'm sure the series will get better and better.
