Yay for more vampires!

Just when you thought it was safe to venture out with your jugular vein unprotected...

Vampire lovers can get their fix with the new title from Richelle Mead. Bloodlines is the first book in a new series by the author of the phenomenally popular Vampire Academy sextet. (Just before you think I am being rude, that means a set of six!)

Bloodlines focuses on Sydney Sage, whom you might remember from the last two books in Vampire Academy. Sydney is an Alchemist, and a reluctant co-conspirator with the Moroi, a race of peace-loving vampires. When Sydney is assigned to Jill Dragomir, Moroi princess, and half-sister to the queen, she finds herself at high school in Palm Springs - with all the accompanying teenage angst. Fans of Richelle Mead will be familiar with a number of the characters in Bloodlines and those who felt sorry for Adrian for losing out on Rose Hathaway can be comforted in the knowledge that Adrian plays a significant role in this new series. I found Bloodlines an entertaining read, with strong female characters and a fast-paced storyline. A great new series that should appeal to Twilight fans and lovers of paranormal fiction. Reserve a copy from the library today!

The second book in the series, The Golden Lily, will be released in 2012.
