Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

What a way to start my summer reading! I'd already read the Vampire Academy series...Rose and Dimitri finally got to be together! Bloodlines is book one in the author's spinoff series featuring Sydney, the alchemist, as the primary character. The only thing I didn't like about the VA series was the fact that Adrian was left brokenhearted at the end. Well, he is part of this new series. I love his character! He still has the sarcasm but with new twists and turns. Other characters enter and a new problem takes hold in this series. I love that Rose and Dimitri are still mentioned. The ending was great! I can't wait for book two to see the interaction between Adrian and Dimitri.
