Critic reviews

"...perfectly blends romance with paranormal adventure and drama...." (Romantic Times Top Pick)

I love Adrian

The Bloodlines series is a lot of of fun. Although to have the back story reading the Vampire Academy books first makes sense - I believe this series can stand on it's own, and I may actually enjoy it more. When wearing my headphones and then spontaneously laugh out loud. In the vampire series I felt sorry for Adrian and actually thought he was a pain in the tush but, now I find myself laughing at Adrian's antics, crying and his misfortunes, and cheeringThe amazing character he has formed into.
