The Indigo Spell: A Bloodlines Novel, Book 3

Alright, I seriously only read this book for Adrian and he does not disappoint.
The series as a whole is so-so. But if you have come this far you either know that, or think differently. I you like Bloodlines then you will love Indigo Spell. It's the best of the series by far.

It goes without saying Adrian saves the book again. I am in love with him, I really am I just can't help it.

There is a little of mystery, action, and a whole lotta romance. Fans of Meed and the Bloodlines series will not be disappointed.

Yes. If you have enjoyed the series so far, then Indigo Spell is a great addition :-)

Not sure. While they are spin-offs of the Vampire Academy books, the farther into the series, the less like the VA books they are. Magic takes a center stage in Indigo Spell, so maybe a Discover of Witches? There is the whole forbidden love between a vampire and witch thing going on.

She is a decent narrator, not my favorite, but far from my least favorite.

Forbidden love?

The previous two books are told from Sydney's POV, just like this one, but there is a lot of Jilly, Eddie, and the other Moroi/Dhampirs. But this book is very Syndey/Adrian focused, which if you like their romance is a great thing. If you don't care for it as much as say, Rose and Dimitri's, then you might not like this book as much as the previous two. You get to meet Marcus, and find out what his group is all about. You find out what you already know about the Alchemists, that they are likely in league with the Warriors. And you get to attend Sonya's wedding, which brings us back to the VA cast. Rose and Dimitri, and Queen Lissa and Christian, are at the wedding, but we don't get to spend too much time with them.

Sydney is being hunted by a bad/evil witch, who happens to also be Mrs. Terwillinger's sister. In turn, Mrs. Terwillinger teaces Syndey how to defend herself, and Sydney and Adrian travel around the state warning other young witches that they may be in danger from Mrs. Terwillinger's sister (Veronica?). This activity keeps Sydney and Adrian around each other, and falling into romantic situations, despite Sydney's best efforts. All the while, Syndey is trying to decide whether she wants to break ties completely with the Alchemists or continue to work as a double agent and uncover more of their secrets. Working as a double agent is very risky, but leaving the Alchemists means leaving Adrian, Jill, and the others behind. No suprise which she chooses :-)

There are three types of friends I would recommend Indigo Spell to:
1. If you read the series or the Vampire Academy series and enjoyed it, this is another great installment. It has the expected twists (not expected as in predictable, but expected as in that is her writing style) that Mead always delivers.

2. If you read VA and fell in love with Adrian (primarily why I read).

3. If you generally enjoy YA supernatural romances.

Well, there's a plethora of Adrian and Sydney moments that are swoon-worthy, but there is a scene when Sydney actually has "intimate" relations with Adrian on a table that was surprising.

Also, there's a part where Veronica enters Sydney's dream, and it scared me!

She does an amazing job creating unique voices for all the characters. I loooove her Adrian voice.

Yes!

My favorite thing about any form of story is character development. I don't care how amazing the plot is, if the characters don't grow or change from the situations, then the stories are worthless.

Sydney has finally grown into who she is meant to be. She is finding her own person and doing what she wants to do. It's fantastic.

I have listened to it more than once and got my husband listening to Bloodlines because he became curious why I am re-listening to this book.

Are you kidding me? The Dream scene. You know the one I am talking about if you have listened to the book...

She has been great in the series.

#AdrianLove

This book has been made even better by the narrator. I am truly impressed.

Exciting, Funny, Delightful

Adrian Ivashkov of course. He's funny, sexy, witty, romantic and just seems like he'd be the perfect boyfriend. I used to be a devoted girlfriend…. Now I am forever mentally dating Adrian Ivashkov.

The voices (accents) add to it. It better allows you to picture the characters and bring them to life.

Absolutely!!!

I’ve been waiting for this book for sooooo long! With the way it ended I’m so frustrated that I have to wait for the next one! Aaagggghhhh! Pure torture!!!!!
Words cannot express how much I love the VA series and now the Bloodlines series!

Another great book in the Bloodlines series!
Sydney is growing on me as the main character. She finally opens up to the real world and admits to herself what is going on around her; including Adrian. Now that she has finally admitted her feelings, she is trying to push Adrian away - but with an evil witch after her she needs his help now more than ever!
This book focuses more on Adrian and Sydney, instead of the constant drama surrounding Amberwood Academy as in the previous books. There is still a fair amount of storyline to keep all the characters up to date so we don't forget about them, but to finally have some quality time with Adrian is nice.
We are introduced to several new characters, including Marcus and his merry men - who is super hot.. to everyone except Sydney. His bright blue eyes are no match to the perfect green of Adrian's in her mind. We also find ourselves with a cliff hanger that brings a couple new characters to the 'family' at Amberwood!
I can't wait for the next book in this series!

Top 5-10

I compare this series to Vampire Academy which is in my top 3 book series period.

Dream sequences between A & S.

YES! I didn't want to stop listening to the book...I love that!

The narrator did a fabulous job! It's one of those books where I feel if I read it instead of listening to it, I'm not sure I would like it as much. I highly recommend this book series if you like fantasy or paranormal romance.

I love the vampire academy series, this series expands on my favorite supporting characters. Can't wait for the next book!

Great read. Could not stop till it was done. I keep comeing back for more, reading it over and over again.

I was eagerly waiting for the release of this book and it was most definitely worth the wait.
