The Fiery Heart: A Bloodlines Novel by Richelle Mead

Fiery Heart is an excellent addition to the Bloodlines series.  Unlike most books in a series, this one can stand alone. I don't suggest that you read it before the other books because you will lose some of the emotional connections to characters and Mead's writing pulls you into her characters lives, making you feel as your part of it.

Fiery Heart is unique in that, Mead focus on the relationship of two beloved characters. We get to explore the inner workings of Sydney and Adrian's hidden, romantic and loving relationship. Sydney is being pulled in a million and one directions at once and each choices she makes had consequences.

The characters are maturing, relationships are evolving and ending will leave you gasping for the next installment that comes out this summer.

If you loved, Mead's Vampire Academy Series you will fall heads over heads in love with her, Bloodlines series.

Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure—and re-education—looms larger than ev
