1/4: (view spoiler)[I feel like Adrian is going to hurt himself by using a lot of his spirit to help Nina. I think that if he wanted to help Sydney he should stay sane. So far, so good. (hide spoiler)]

[Jessica]

2/4: (view spoiler)[ I'm hoping that with Olive getting pregnant that Dimitri and Rose will be able to have a baby. Daniella seems to be under a lot of stress at the moment, and I hope that she will be alrights. (hide spoiler)]

3/4: (view spoiler)[ It came as a shock that the Warriors of Light were able to get Jill and hold her captive. It is not surprising that they are holding her captive, but that they were able to get her. Sydney definitely took the bait and I suspect the Warriors definitely want her as a captive.

Finished: (view spoiler)[WTF, Neil just dumped his baby on Sydney and Adrian. I know it was because he was trying to do the right thing but still... I hated that he left. Rose finally got an engagement ring from Dimitri. Finally!!!
I was so happy when they found Jill. I'm so happy that it ended up being Jill and Eddie together. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I hate that Sydney is struggling at court, but I also know that it’s the best place for her to be right now. With Jill missing it doesn’t surprise me that she’d find a way to get out though. Adrian needs to watch his spirit use - Nina definitely has something going on mentally and it would be terrible to watch him even start to go down that road (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Wow! I can’t say that I ever guessed we’d be seeing Alicia again, but it definitely makes sense that she’d be out to get Sydney.
I don’t even know what to think about Olive and the Neil and Declan situation, but I’m anxiously awaiting the time when they tell Neil. Daniella seems so much softer with a baby in tow :)
This plan to throw Sydney and Eddie in with the warriors sounds like it’s going to bring a lot of twists and turns our way. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I was a bit worried when Sydney and Eddie found themselves in with the warriors. I had no doubt that they would move on and be there to stay and do what they needed to do and Sydney sure made a bit of a name for herself during the one challenge they performed while they were there. Overhearing that meeting and walking out with that laptop was probably the best that could've happened. Lets hope that it all pulls through...
It was pretty lucky that the witches and Adrian were able to pull the one piece of information from Alicia that Sydney did not get from the Warriors - where Jill was being held.
Neil finding out about Olive and Declan went down a bit different than I wanted it to. Of course he is a guardian so he is in control of his emotions more and has a different way of thinking. I understand how he thinks keeping himself separated from Declan will protect him, but it still kills me that he has not only lost Olive, but now has gained and lost a son all in a matter of minutes.
I love how Sydney is a badass negotiating with the Alchemists, but I can't say that I'm 100% confident in how this will all go - even with the information she has to barter with. Sydney is smart and crafty, but she learned this from them and shes going up against them as a whole right now...

Done
(view spoiler)[ I am so happy how everything came together but also so sad that I am now through both the vampire academy and bloodlines series!
I am so happy that they found Jill and that she was ok! Also that Adrian was able to control his spirit and come back from letting it take over. The whole raid was pretty fantastic. Sydney negotiated everything with the alchemists so great providing a lot of good for herself, Adrian and also her sister Zoe. I sure hope that her dad sticks to everything he is supposed to do...
I can, but also can't believe that Neil disappered. Also that he stopped by to see Declan and leave the note for Sydney and Adrian. I love the end with them being a happy little family just living their life. And Rose with that ring! Ugh I'm so happy with the loose ends like that being tied up before I said goodbye to these characters! (hide spoiler)]

[Jenn]

Finished: (view spoiler)[ Glad I finally finished this series! I love Adrian and even came to love Sydney and while I wasn't a huge fan of the previous book, this one was pretty good. I'm glad we got Jill back and I adore her and Eddie together. The whole baby thing was a little out there but I guess this way Adrian and Sydney get their little happy family. (hide spoiler)]
