The first book in Richelle Mead's brand-new teen fiction series - set in the same world as Vampire Academy.

When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times best-selling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.

I liked this book a lot, but it's not quite as good as Vampire Academy. Sydney doesn't quite match Rose as a lead character and the Alchemists aren't as interesting as the Guardians. On the bright side, Adrian shines as usual and the story really is quite fun.

Rating Emily Shaffer's performance in this title is extremely difficult. She did an excellent job telling the story and portraying the characters, but I do not think she should have narrated this book. This is not a continuation of Vampire Academy, but a completely new series, and it deserved a new reader. Sydney should have been given her own voice instead of being left with the voice of Rose Hathaway.

Definitely not Vampire Academy

If I was this author, I would be so offended at how this narrator portrayed my characters 😵‍💫 she makes everyone sound like immature valley girls.

Other than that huge detail, the story is good. I’m a big fan of Vampire Academy and decided to finally give these a try.

Why this narrator?

As a 33 year old male you would think this book would be way down my list, however as always Richelle Mead pulls you in quickly and holds you there. This is a branch off from the Vampire Academy series, and you will see your favorites but the focus is no longer on Rose.

The Main is well written and her back story is revealed at a pace that is just right, her slow change in thought is very much like real life. There is no sudden jump from I am a coward to I am a hero. Everything is paced and balanced perfectly! Action,mystery,romance all tied up in a nice little bundle.

If you are looking for the almost nonstop action from Vampire Academy you wont find it here, however if you want to know more about the Alchemist and Vampires as well as life OUTSIDE court and school, give this book a read.

A warning, each book in this series does end with a lot left open, until it is all closed up in book 6, so if this is not you sort of thing avoid this book.

A little bit of OCD and a little bit of insanity!

This is one of the better starts to a spin off series I have tried. I will admit I am partial to Meads writing. As I have said in other reviews I have everything she has ever written. But I think If you give her a try you will enjoy her books too.

VA Fans will love it!!!

Richelle Mead has delivered another great book! If you loved VA you will celebrate the arrival of Bloodlines. This story picks up where Last Sacrifice left off and there is not a dull moment along the way. I honestly did not believe that this book could fill the void left from the end of the VA series, but Mead does a great job of spinning interesting plots and introducing new realationships that keep the pages turning. She also gives the reader just enough information on old VA friends to satisfy some lingering questions that readers may have been left with at the end of Last Sacrifice. If you enjoy magic, mystery, romance and humor, give Bloodlines a chance. You won't be disappointed!

Richelle Mead Has Done It Again!
