Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead

Silver Shadows (Bloodlines, #5)

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 Fiery Heart, Sydney risked everything to follow her gut, walking a dangerous line to keep her feelings hidden from the Alchemists.

Now in the aftermath of an event that ripped their world apart, Sydney and Adrian struggle to pick up the pieces and find their way back to each other. But first, they have to survive. 

For Sydney, trapped and surrounded by adversaries, life becomes a daily struggle to hold on to her identity and the memories of those she loves. Meanwhile, Adrian clings to hope in the face of those who tell him Sydney is a lost cause, but the battle proves daunting as old demons and new temptations begin to seize hold of him. . . .

Their worst fears now a chilling reality, Sydney and Adrian face their darkest hour in this heart-pounding fifth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where all bets are off.

5 ★ Audiobook⎮I can't believe I'm giving a book in this series 5 stars. Especially when my last five star books were Illuminae & The Scorpio Races. Don't get me wrong, Silver Shadows was nowhere near as amazing as those two, but my enjoyment level while reading this was nearly as high. I think I would feel more comfortable giving this book 4.75 stars instead (because apparently now I rate books on a .25 scale...). It wasn't "amazing" as a whole, but parts of it definitely were thrilling. This was the best book in the series thus far and it made me eat my earlier words about the series not having enough action. Readers that were loyal throughout the slower-paced first four books were definitely rewarded for sticking it out. ♣︎
