The second installment in the series is where I started falling for Sydney. Sydney struggle to maintain the professional distance that was required of her, but her charges became her friends and her friends became family (or lover). And it's damned near impossible to believe that one's family are evil creatures of the night. And I'm so proud of her. 
 But toward the end of this book, damn, DAMN. I fell head over heels for Adrian. One speech was all it took. Okay, that's not entirely true. I'm already in love with Adrian since VA series but I don't think it's possible to be more in love with him. But one speech catapulted me from loving Adrian to absolutely, truly, madly, deeply in love with him. 
 "I tried to be a better person for her- but it was to impress her, to get her to want me. But when I'm around you, I want to be better because... well, because it feels right. Because I want to. You make me want to become something greater than myself. I want to excel. You inspire me in every act, every word, every glance. I look at you, and you're like... like light made into flesh. [...] You have no clue how beautiful you are or how brightly you shine." 
 This is sooo much better than Bloodlines and I heard The Indigo Spell is even better! CAN'T. WAIT.
