Publisher's summary

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 aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch - a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood - or else she might be next.

"An obvious pick for the literary lover of all things bloodsucking." (MTV's Hollywood Crush)

I will love you weather you like it or not

I'm not even going to tell you to read the series because by this point i hope you have gotten the message that I have not so subtly put out there and read the series!! This is the best of the series. And it was my favorite. Adrian was a major key player.

I lied, I do have something bad to say about the series..... The fourth book doesn't come out until November, and I tried I really did try not to read this one until closer to the release date (November 19, 2013), but I just couldn't it was too tempting not knowing.

I'm glad I did read the book it was so good and I really did enjoy the book the only problem now is waiting til November for the fourth book to come out. That is the only grievance I have with the book, other than that it was amazing and I plan on rereading the series again and again. For Adrian of course.

fun and adventurous

This is one of my favorites out of the series. It's full of surprises and realizations.

Best in the series IMO

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, because it was fun and had romantic without cheese.

What did you like best about this story?

I can't pick out one thing. It was just good if you like the genre and want to listen to an enjoyable story.

What does Emily Shaffer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I like her voices for the characters. If I did read one of the books, I think I'd imagine those voices for the characters.

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

There were a couple of "awww!" and "yay!"s

I love this book with the passion glad to hear it

want thank aurthor of book she did outstand stroy line and adventure and dream of vampire

YES YES YES

I’m a sucker for this world so what else do you expect from me ??? I love it

Great book

I really enjoy this series. Keep Rachelle Mead books coming! I love the way she writes and the Narration is great for this kind of book.

I love this 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!

love it!

loved this book! it's amazing author and narrative! On to the next book in the series!

great 👍

Loving the second series in this group of books Blood lines. Great for road trips.

Magic? Yes please

This has been my favorite so far because Sydney gets off her “no magic” hang up. So of course more interesting stuff happens. A more action packed book for sure.
