All done! This particular book wasn't my favorite, but I still gave it a five stars, because I liked "Bloodlines" in general. (view spoiler)[ I wanted Sidney to do more magic. I didn't want Olive to die and Nina stay insane. I liked Adrian's & Sidney's happy ending. Jill's and Eddie's too. The baby part took me by surprise. (hide spoiler)] 
 Spoiler alert! 
 "Bloodlines" brings out a number of different things. How you can stop drinking and smoking. How you can change your whole thinking about somebody or something - vampires, magic. How you might have been in prison, but you are still a kind person. How you might overcome different obstacles. How some people can give up the most precious thing in their life to keep it safe - Declan. How some places may seem to be bad, but it turns out they are managing as fine as they can - dhampir communes. How you can do something for the greater good, even if you don't like it that much. How your devotion can be both, a good and a bad thing. ETC - there are a lot more things I could say, but I cannot come up with more right now.
