THIS BOOK HAD ME ALL OVER THE PLACE! I'm still dying from the ending, and I've had a night to think about it. Sydney really surprised me in this one, and I like her more and more as each book goes by. Shes really starting to realize how terrible the alchemists are, and how Moroi and Dhampir really aren't bad like they say they are. The alchemists have a lot of secrets and lies, and shes finally starting to figure them out. Marcus was an awesome character addition, and storyline. (view spoiler)[ I loved everything about breaking the tattoo, and how Sydney started acting different right when it happened. I'M SO GLAD HER AND ADRIAN ARE TOGETHER OMFGGGGG. IT KILLED ME! (hide spoiler)] The whole thing with Ms. T was also amazing, I loved how it went down. And I'm glad shes warmed up to the whole thing with her. I loved the little dragon guy <3333 
 The whole story building in this book is just great, I love how its never boring and theres like 50 things going on at once. Sydney is a very busy character, but she takes it with pride, and keeps pushing on. Jill wasn't as important in this book. We got a ton of new characters and information in this book too. 
 The ending was just AHHH!! (view spoiler)[ I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY SENT ZOE TO HELP OUT, THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE SO MANY COMPLICATIONS!!! With literally everything! Adrian and Sydney, trying to figure out more with the alchemists, and her sister will see thats she actually friends with all the vampires and dhampirs! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!! (hide spoiler)] I really can't wait to see what happens. These books just keep getting better and better, even more intense in each book! 
 5/5 stars!
