“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.

Half Year Wrap Up and July TBR

Hello everyone, as I said on my update and favorites post I’m sorry I’ve been absent lately. Because of that, I’m not going to do a monthly wrap up, but a middle of the year wrap up. I can’t believe we have already hit the middle of the year, but here we are and I’m four books behind in my goodreads challenge, which is more or less like a month. It isn’t much considering how little time I have had to read, as well as many other things, and considering there were two months in which I didn’t finished one book.  We start with January, the best month reading wise I’ve had in years, I completed a total of 8 books in addition to a novella and a graphic novel. Not only that, I also highly enjoyed most books I read during that month  “Captivated by You” by Sylvia Day. The last book published in the Crossfire series, really liked it, and I can’t wait for the next book which I think might be the last. (4/5) “Conociendo a Raul” by Blue Jeans. The novella I read, prequel to “El...
