The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines #4)
Author: Richelle MeadPublisher: Razorbill, 438 pages
Expected Publication Date: November 19, 2013
From Goodreads:
In The Indigo Spell, Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her. . . .
But the struggle isn't over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there's still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure—and re-education—looms larger than ever.
Pulses will race throughout this thrilling fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.

I did love Vampire Academy and this spin-off series has been fantastic. ~Pam
DeleteThis one can't get here soon enough! I can't even read the first chapter because I will want more more more. :)
ReplyDeleteSee what else I'm waiting on.
I did read the first chapter (I just couldn't wait) and you're right, I want more. November can't come soon enough! ~Pam
DeleteOh, heck yes! Who isn't waiting for this book--and hopefully some Sydrian action:)) Great pick!
ReplyDeletemy WoW
Love them as a couple. One of my absolute favorites! ~Pam
DeleteSo many of my friends love this series! But I just haven't had time to dive into Mead's work!
ReplyDeleteI've read all of her books. You should definitely read some when you get the chance! ~Pam
DeleteI haven't started this series yet, but I will read it. It isn't my normal clean reading, but the characters, plot, and writing are all really good. Thanks for stopping by my WOW!
ReplyDeleteTressa @ Tressa's Wishful Endings
Out of all of Richelle Mead's books, this series is the cleanest (and I honestly can't remember anything really bad in it). You should definitely give it a try and see what you think! ~Pam
DeleteI haven't read any of Richelle Mead's books but I've heard so many wonderful things about them! Great pick!
ReplyDeleteRebecca @ The Library Canary
Love her books, she's one of my favorite authors. ~Pam
DeleteI am DYING for this book. I'm also TERRIFIED because I'm pretty sure something big and bad is going to happen near the end. Sort of like it did in book 3 of Vampire Academy. Not the same thing tho. But I'm so excited for both viewpoints. Of course I was a sucker and read both chapters online already. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can't imagine it's going to go smoothly (what fun would that be?) Book 3 of Vampire Academy killed me. If she does anything like that...arghhh!! ~Pam
DeleteI can't wait for this one either! I'm excited to see what's in store for Adrian and Sydney :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pick!
Cutest couple ever. Can't wait to see how their relationship progresses. ~Pam
DeleteI am so behind with these books! I haven't even finished the Vampire Academy series, and this books are all coming out so fast! I might have to spend an entire week of none stop reading for this series!

That would be a fun week! ~Pam
DeleteI listed this one a few weeks ago. I like this series more than Vampire Academy too.
ReplyDeleteJenna @ Rather Be Reading YA
I just love Sydney and Adrian, I think that's why I like the series so much. I loved Rose, but I feel like I connect better with Sydney. I guess it's because she's so normal and is thrust into this strange world. And even though I liked Adrian in Vampire Academy, you know it's Rose and Dimitri, no question, so his character sort of annoyed me. ~Pam
DeleteI can't wait for this one either. I'm a huge Sydney/Adrian fan. I like them more than I liked Rose/Dimitri.
ReplyDeleteAnd the 19th November - day after my birthday :D Yay Definitely going to get this one somehow as a gift.
Kate @ whYAnot
I also like Sydney/Adrian more than Rose/Dimitri. And definitely a great birthday present! ~Pam
DeleteYES YES YES. More than the first chapter was released though :). The second was also released recently - http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2013/08/19/the-fiery-heart-richelle-mead-exclusive/ - if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteI also like the Bloodlines series more than the VA series. As much as I appreciate Rose and how different she is than most YA protags., I'm still with Sydney. I love her social awkwardness and her vulnerability and body issues. I love that she's super smart and sexy - according to Adrian, who also beats out Dimitri now too. *sigh* It's so nice we get his POV too.
Why do you like the Bloodlines series more :)?
Yeah, I think I saw the second chapter was released but I had already posted my WoW. I'll have to read that! And I agree with you about Rose vs. Sydney. Sydney is just so much more normal. Rose was always so badass and knowing she was awesome and beautiful whereas Sydney has so many insecurities that make her so likable. And she is so clueless when it comes to social situations, guys in particular. And I also love the way she grows in each novel, becoming more open-minded. Adrian vs. Dimitri. Obviously I love Dimitri, but he's such an aloof character, but Adrian is so not. I just feel like I know Adrian. So I think it's those two (Sydney and Adrian) that make like the Bloodlines series more. ~Pam
DeleteI will be honest, I have yet to begin this series. I know. I know. I really need to. It took me FOREVER to read Vampire Academy (I finally did right after the last book pub'ed). I own the first & second books in this series, so it WILL happen.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great series, hopefully you will enjoy it once you read them! ~Pam
DeleteI never got into the VA or this series. I know a lot of my friends love them, but there are just so many and my TBR is already SO big. I hope you love this when you get it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, there are so many books out there to read. I just keep adding books onto my Kindle and stacking up my library books and it's getting a little out of control. ~Pam
DeleteI swear I am reading VA this fall. I swear! I am so behind in all of these books!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll love the series! I wasn't a fan of the first book, to be honest, but once I read the second one, I was hooked. ~Pam
DeleteI cannot wait for this one either! I love both the VA and Bloodlines series with a passion. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteNicole @ The Quiet Concert
Me too! Richelle Mead is one of my favorite writers. I really enjoyed Gameboard of the Gods as well. ~Pam
