The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead

The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines, #4)

by Richelle Mead

Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets—and human lives.

In The Indigo Spell, Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her. . . .

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 smoldering fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.

4.5 ★ Audiobook⎮I feel like I zoomed through this book. This entire series is incredibly easy to read and doesn't require much effort to keep up with the plot. I was easily able to play this audiobook during my daily activities without much interference to either. Some audiobooks require a lot more concentration on the listener's part and aren't a good fit for multitasking. Although, I did stop what I was doing towards the end because it got so exciting. This cliffhanger ending almost makes up for the slow pace and lack of action in the other books. This is the best installment in the series thus far. I will be starting the next one immediately!

Narration Review: I enjoyed the new dual narration style and thought it added a lot to the overall audiobook experience. However, my biggest complaint about this particular audiobook is the mysterious disappearance of Adrian's accent...♣︎
