Summary:
Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives.
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 smoldering fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.

Review:
Ahhh....I love Richelle Mead. Sitting back and reading one of her books is like catching up with an old friend. It is funny how quickly we fall back into comfortable patterns and even though I feel like she has a tried and true road map to writing, she always manages to throw in a few surprises to keep me reading. The Fiery Heart is book #3 in the Bloodline series. Here, we find Sydney FINALLY finding her voice and becoming not only strong intellectually but finding her own inner self-confidence in all things non-academic. Not only that, but she finds herself a real beau, not the faker coffee maker who thinks he is smarter than Miss Sage. I mean, c'mon, have we ever met any character smarter than a grade A alchemist? Speaking of smarts, Sydney flexes her noggin' and devises some pretty incredible magic of her own by mixing her personal magic with her knowledge of all things Alchemist. Together, they get her into a heap of trouble...which will lead us to the next book of course. If you are a lover of the Vampire Academy, then you must have already started reading the Bloodlines series. If you haven't, then definitely start from book #1 - Bloodlines (even if you haven't read Vampire Academy). It will have you sitting in your cozy chair and ordering book #2 wirelessly in no time. :) Highly highly recommended reading this holiday season....
oh totally excited to begin this...... great review
