Publisher's summary

The second thrilling installment in Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy spinoff series.

Tough, brainy alchemist Sydney Sage and doe-eyed Moroi princess Jill Dragomir are in hiding at a human boarding school in the sunny, glamorous world of Palm Springs, California. The students - children of the wealthy and powerful - carry on with their lives in blissful ignorance, while Sydney, Jill, Eddie, and Adrian must do everything in their power to keep their secret safe. But with forbidden romances, unexpected spirit bonds, and the threat of Strigoi moving ever closer, hiding the truth is harder than anyone thought.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Richelle Mead's breathtaking Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the number-one New York Times best-selling Vampire Academy series so addictive. In this second book, the drama is hotter, the romances are steamier, and the stakes are even higher.

I liked this one, but it wasn't as good as the 1st

If you could sum up The Golden Lily in three words, what would they be?

sweet ok fun

Which scene was your favorite?

Liked the scenes with Adrian, of course.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It had it's comedic moments.

Any additional comments?

I liked that there is a 3rd organization that was introduced. But, it seemed to be not as action packed, mysterious, or fun as the other books. So far Bloodlines is good, but not great. I don't know if that makes sense. This was a good book, just not as good as Bloodlines 1st book. And this series doesn't have me as hooked as Vampire Academy did. But, it is nice to catch glimpses into the lives of the other people from Vampire Academy and see it through their eyes, away from Rose.

Love the story. Narration is grating.

I absolutely love these books. But the narrator is really annoying. Her Sydney and Jill voices are high pitched and loud. Adrian is like a mishmash of Australian, Irish and British- not Russian like he's supposed to be. She does Abe fairly well, so I'm not sure what the deal is.

However the story is good enough that I do recommend this series of books. You might want the regular book though.

Progress

Adrian finally makes a move. Eddie needs to consider Jill that's all I'm saying. I am definitely reading the next book to see how Sydney and Adrian relationship is progressing.
