Bloodlines Book #5
BOOK DESCRIPTION
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
Fiery Heart, Sydney risked everything to follow her gut, walking a dangerous
line to keep her feelings hidden from the Alchemists.
Now in
the aftermath of an event that ripped their world apart, Sydney and Adrian
struggle to pick up the pieces and find their way back to each other. But
first, they have to survive.
For
Sydney, trapped and surrounded by adversaries, life becomes a daily struggle to
hold on to her identity and the memories of those she loves. Meanwhile, Adrian
clings to hope in the face of those who tell him Sydney is a lost cause, but
the battle proves daunting as old demons and new temptations begin to seize
hold of him. . . .
Their
worst fears now a chilling reality, Sydney and Adrian face their darkest hour
in this heart-pounding fifth installment in the New York Times bestselling
Bloodlines series, where all bets are off.
MY REVIEW
2.5 OUT OF 5 *Stars*
This is one of those reviews that I’m sitting here, staring at
the screen, wondering how to formulate helpful words around what I thought of
the book. Maybe my anti-excitement over
this review stems from the utter lack of excitement in the book. It took me five days to finish this book, and
that is saying a lot. If I’m reading a
good book, it will take me a day because I will read while cooking
dinner, doing dishes, going to the bathroom, or I’ll sneak off when no ones
looking to get five more minutes in. I
had no problem putting this book down to get things done, and once it was all
finished, I shrugged my shoulder with an, “Ehh.”
After reading and finishing The Fiery Heart, I was ecstatic when
I got this one. It started with Sydney
and Adrian apart, just like The Fiery Heart ended. The book was about them doing everything they
could to get back to each other and the pitfalls in between. The first 60% of the book was okay, nothing
to write home about, but still okay. A
monumental event happened and I figured the book could have ended there. Unfortunately, it didn’t. I understand what Mead wanted to happen by
the end of the book, but it felt too much like filler nonsense, stuff with no
purpose to tack on and make the book longer.
Will I read the next on?
That’s the question. Of course I
will, are you nuts? I’ve invested my precious time into five books from this
series, and seven books from the previous one.
It would be like stopping a movie ¾ of the way through because you
weren’t a fan of a small chunk. I just
hope the next one will be able to hold my interest. Till next time…
HAPPY READING, EVERYONE!!
