Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

"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..." -Goodreads

Maybe it's because I haven't read the Vampire Academy books before but I just couldn't get into Bloodlines. I liked the ending of it but not everything else. And Sydney was annoying the shit out of me. Just all the little things (like complaining that she was a size 2 not 4, seriously??). But I slowly pushed through it since I have heard people say that the liked the books later in the series than this one, might see sometime in the future but won't be seeking it out like crazy to read it.

3 stars.
