The Golden Lily

Anyways, I've been trying to read this book for what feels like forever. And I'm not saying that meaning that things keep coming up that prevents me from reading this book. Truth is  that I literally have been trying to read this book for what feels like forever. I think it had to do with the fact that I got sick and tired of reading vampire books for a while. So now I'm determined to read this series and finally finish it. Sadly this is a second book of a series. The first one is basically a start of this series which is a run off of another series called Vampire Academy. I liked that series more then this one. So far. We'll see if that changes. I'd tell you more but I'm being told that I have to clean the house. So until next time.......

 Okay I understand that this is a pretty old book and then everyone pretty much has read it. Pretty much read the whole series by now, but I don't flippin' care. I'm going to talk about it anyways. So suck it. Anyways, I remember bits and pieces from the first book, which I read like three years ago. Doesn't seem long, but when a whole series is out in that time span, its pretty fricken long. I think this book just came out when I read the first one. That is a pretty long time. Anyways, enough of my rambling. The first book has our main character Sydney go under cover to protect a vampire/moroi princess. She is joined by two dhampirs named Eddie and Angeline to help protect the princess, Jill. Also there is another vampire with them named Adrian. If you read the Vampire Academy series, which I'm sure you did, you see that all of these names are quite familiar. Anyways, in the first book there was some illegal trafficking of vampire blood to make forbidden tattoos run by Sydney's partner. Sorry for the spoiler if you didn't start reading the series yet. But after everything is solved in that book, everything since fine and dandy. So I'm not sure what this book is about. I pretty much just plain forgot over the years of avoiding it in a sense. I just jumped right in with out reminding myself what was going on. So like me. Anyways, Sydney did some business with the organization she is part of. Comes back to the school she has been staying at undercover to find out that Angeline won't follow rules. Stress factor right there. Also she gets pressured in a date with a friend of a friend, which brings out signs that Adrian might actually have the hots for her. Sadly only Jill knows what Adrian is really feeling towards anyone because of their bond. But it is pretty obvious that there is going to be some forbidden romance going on in either this book or later on in the series. Now the question is, will Sydney stick to everything she has been taught? Or, will she throw it all away for a forbidden love? Hopefully this thought will keep me motivated enough to read the whole series. Also who are these vampire hunters that an old vampire keeps talking about? I think he's not crazy at all and that Trey is one of them. So until next time.....

Vampire Hunters are real! Or, at least in this book they are. Figured I'd start the post with that because I was slightly excited. I have a feeling I'm actually right on this one. Also Sydney's boyfriend has to be a vampire hunter too.  Did I forget to mention that Sydney has a boyfriend? But you probably already know this since everyone pretty much has read this book besides me. Anyways, things are getting serious with Adrian, but no one sees it yet. Or at least still in denial. I apologize if I spelt any names wrong. I'm too lazy to look them up to know what the proper spelling is. Sorry Richelle for not doing your characters justice. But I'm going to read some more to see if I'm right. Best motivation to finish a book that you know everyone pretty much has read. So until next time....

 I finally finished the book. Feels like a huge accomplishment. Anyways, I was also saying that towards the final scene between Adrian and Sydney. But she pretty much walked out on him in the end though. I wanted to slap her for that. How could she walk away from him? Especially after all he said to her. I could of slapped Sydney when she broke out the whole 'we can't be together because its wrong' speech. Who the heck cares? Anyways, I'm hoping that the next book will have these two finally together officially. Or else I'm going to throw a temper tantrum. Anyways, I read my next book since I have seven days to read it. Only because I want to finish reading it because Point of Retreat finally arrived at the library. So until next time.....
