"BLOOD DOESN'T LIE. Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning..."
I am a huge fan of both Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy and Georgina Kincaid series, and so I'm naturally very excited about her new series, Bloodlines. There's something about the characters she creates that I just love, and even if I wasn't the biggest fan of Sydney in VA, I think my feelings of her will change when I no longer see her through Rose's eyes. I really like that the story will mostly take place in a human setting, as that should make for some interesting situations for Jill at school. Definitely one of the novels I'm looking forward to the most this year (with Mead's last novel about Georgina being another one).
