Adian's POV was quite interesting. I don't think it was essential to have it in The Fiery Heart, but I enjoyed it. I liked that he's almost exactly the same as we see him from Sydney's perspective. It's just that we get his every rambling thought, and we learn why he is like that. I can't say that I was surprised by this discovery, but I was surprised about how Adrian actually went about dealing with it. I'm very proud of him.
The plot of The Fiery Heart is mostly revolved around Sydney and Adrian working on their respective projects, which both happen to involve some kind of charm making. Sydney is working on the ink that will stop Alchemist compulsion, while Adrian is still working with Spirit to create a way to keep Strigoi from turning anyone. There's amazing developments from both of them, and I continue to love learning more about the science and magic of vampires and witches.
Of course, there's romance in The Fiery Heart. There's no way there couldn't be based on the title and where we left off last time. Feelings are ramped way, way, way up this time! I was worried that there wouldn't be much since Sydney has to be more careful with her sister around, but the author made it work! Lots and lots of kissing and steaminess and plenty of cheesey moments as well. But then...well, that ending happens and I was in desperate need for the next book.
The Fiery Heart was really great. I've noticed that the author tends to make the 4th book of her series super emotionally intense and that is no different here. Bloodlines may have started off rocky, but it's certainly hit its stride now.
