More Bloodlines details

Okay, so I know I should be posting a review (and it will come tomorrow, trust me), but I just need to shamelessly advertise for Richelle Mead; details for her Vampire Academy spin-off series!

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
23rd August 2011

BLOOD DOESN'T LIE.

Sydney is an alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of human and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding.

To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the last place anyone would think to look for vampire royalty - a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. But instead of finding safety at Amberwood Prep, Sydney discovers the drama is only just beginning.

Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive - this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.

While I love that the VA universe isn't gone (I cried when I finished Last Sacrifice), I'm definitely not loving the cover of this book. All of the VA covers have been lacking, and I thought that Bloodlines would get a really awesome cover, but it hasn't. I hope they end up making it nicer, you know?

Anyways, here's the message: Go buy this book when it comes out. I guarantee that it will be fantastic and we get to see more of Dimitri!!
