Bloodlines (Bloodlines, #1)

by Richelle Mead

The first book in Richelle Mead's New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series

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.

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.

4.5 stars
Very interesting to learn more about alchemists, and I always liked Sydney, even if she's a little more 'tight' than other characters in Vampire Academy. She really grew in this book, though, and finally learned to stand up for herself.

It was also refreshing to see Adrian grow, and want to be more than 'oh, but he's Adrian'... I am sure the next book will show more new things about him, though it does seem that he will have his work cut out for him!

Eddie was great, though a little too self-sacrificing.

Jill was still Jill. Young and naive, wanting to have some fun and most of all fit in! Like all young people her age.

I was a little disappointed, though, because Ms. Mead had said that Dimitri would be in this book... There was some talk about him, but he only actually showed up in the very last line of the book.

All in all a very satisfying book, I look forward to more - this world is one I really, really like!
