The Fiery Heart
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 Indigo Spell, Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her. . . .
But the struggle isn't over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there's still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. 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 ever.
Pulses will race throughout this smoldering fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.

I have been enjoying Adrian and Sydney way more than I enjoyed the other crew from the first series. Still fun books, but I like these better. Maybe because the main characters are more adult like? Maybe because the movie of the first series makes it look WAY too teeny boppery? Or maybe I just like a tad less vampires and tad more main characters who are human. Regardless, fun series, fabulous chemistry, fantastically flawed yet delightful hero, and horribly dramatic ending. A great continuation of the story, now please write the next one quickly. (And is it only me who thinks the woman on the front cover looks like Billie Piper? I can't look at it without thinking of my favorite Doctor's Rose.)
Mom note: As
a mother of readers, I also
want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or
would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I
forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures.
Violence: moderate; Profanity: ??; Sex: yes
