The second thrilling installment in Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy spinoff series
Tough, brainy alchemist Sydney Sage and doe-eyed Moroi princess Jill Dragomir are in hiding at a human boarding school in the sunny, glamorous world of Palm Springs, California. The students--children of the wealthy and powerful--carry on with their lives in blissful ignorance, while Sydney, Jill, Eddie, and Adrian must do everything in their power to keep their secret safe. But with forbidden romances, unexpected spirit bonds, and the threat of Strigoi moving ever closer, hiding the truth is harder than anyone thought.

This book definitely explored Syndey and Adrian's relationship more. The ending killed me but I loved how everyone could see how hard Adrian was trying to impress her and spend time with her but Sydney was oblivious. I also love the contrast between this series and VA. Here we have the guy willing to risk everything and not care about the consequences (like Rose) and the girl being the cautious careful one (like Dimitri).
I think Mead really found Sydney's voice here (plus Sydney is coming out of her shell and her world views are being challenged) and therefore the book moves at a much faster pace than Bloodlines. I really enjoyed the story.
