My Thoughts:  Wow just wow!! What an ending in more ways than one!! I need more, I could not set this book down and finished it in less than two days!! All I can think about is what is going to happen next and now we have to wait until next February (tear) for the next book The Ruby Circle. Richelle Mead did an AMAZING job getting my heart pumping, there was nonstop action with the gang trying to break Sydney out of re-education after suffering in there for months!! Yes months, four to be exact! I was stunned when I finally found out how long she had been missing!!! Poor Sydney, but thankfully our girl is a fighter and stays as strong as possible throughout the ordeal while making a couple friends along the way.

Once the plot got intense it stayed intense until the very last second leaving me reeling in what I just read. I felt like my heart would burst with joy for Sydney and Adrian. I don't want to give too much away, but again, just wow the details of there getaway were so vivid I felt like I was Jill watching the romantic and stressful escapade of Adrian and Sydney. I could not be happier for them but things won't be settling down for them quite yet! I have a good feeling Dimitri and Rose will be making a big appearance in the next book. I cannot wait!!!

My Thoughts: I love Sydney and Adrian! This book just flies by, even for the third time. There are vampires and witches and even a cute little dragon shows up. I just love reading about everything Sydney has to overcome in her life, and there is a lot, all while fighting her feelings for Adrian. Adrian continues make passing comments about how amazing she is and how much he loves her. These characters have really grown on me, first with The Vampire Academy series and now with this spin off Bloodlines series. I could read this series over and over and not get board, so much happens throughout this book especially for Adrian and Sydney. Every stolen moment they have when Sydney lets her guard down gets my heart pumping! I just love everything about this book!!
