“The Golden Lily” is the second book in the “Bloodlines” series written by Richelle Mead. This is a spin-off series of her previous work “Vampire Academy”. This time the plot centers around Sydney, which we met on the previous series as an alchemist, an “agency” that works on making the vampire world “invisible” to the human kind, and that way they protect humans from evil, vampires. The alchemists tolerate Moroi and Damphir, however they do not engage with them more than what is strictly necessary, they are still evil. Nonetheless, they have a worse evil as common enemy Strigoi.

After what happened to Sydney and Adrian, Dimitry and Sonya, former Strigoi turned back into Damphir and Moroi by spirit, came to Palm Springs in order to investigate the possibility, or rather the lack of one, of turning back into Strigoi once they have been returned from that state. To help protecting Jill, Angeline another Damphir has come posing as their cousin, a rather particular Damphir since she is part of a rare group of Damphirs that mixes with Moroi and Humans.
In addition to that, the attack on her showed how useful magic can be, and without realizing she starts experimenting with her teacher more and more every day, questioning herself, but at the same time not wanting to get away from it. Also, little by little her closeness to Jill, Adrian, Eddie and even Sonya, Dimitri and Angeline, starts threatening her feelings and thoughts about vampires.
If she did not have enough, one of her classmates Tray, sets her up with the perfect guy for her, a smart-ass, cute into books and studying as much as her. Nevertheless, all those qualities do not really click even if it should.
All of this is top with mysterious people attacking her and Sonya on the street, calling the latest monster, revealing one of the best guarded secrets of alchemists, one not even most of them know.

“The Golden Lily” was a really compelling book, one of those you cannot put it down even when it is late at night or even when you are going to be late for something. The thing about this book is how they trapped you in, you are suck into the story and you just want things to move and resolve. Sydney’s character evolves little by little in this book, and I was probably faster than her into taking some hints but it is a character that I really relate too, at the same time. As for the other characters, you can see how close they are getting to her also and it is easier for them to consider her, since they do not have a belief in them against humans.

All in all, an amazing compelling book. I really recommend the book and the series.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh.

Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
