I always base it on how good/bad/sad the book was. If it was terrible/amazing/super sad then I turn my volume down but if it's eh then I turn it up a bit louder
I loved at the end when they're at Court with everyone and Ian goes "Sydney Sage's fate isn't in your hands. You have no right to-" and then Sydney cuts him off and is like "Ivashkov. My name is Sydney Ivashkov now, Ian." And her dad just exploded it was so funny.
I think it was Alicia who took Jill. Her body was never found in The Indigo Spell, and she could easily be the unidentified blonde girl with glasses that showed up looking for them. But your theory is certainly interesting, and it does make sense... You were saying it and I was like, "Ohmygod!" But that doesn't explain random blonde girl showing up on Adrian's doorstep...
I also think Alicia took Jill. It was my first thought. And in the next book I think Alchemists will combine with Warriors of the Light. Like Christine said they called it war so everything can happen.
I think so too! Especially, since Rose described the kidnapping as "magic". Although, if Lissa believes the Alchemists took Jill for revenge or leverage, that should complicate things between them and Moroi.
Pleases make a video for the ruby circle!! I've seen all your videos for va and bloodlines and I'm dying to hear what you've got to say about the last book! So sad the series is over
Great book talk, Christine! Bloodlines is one of my favorite series and Sydrian is one of my favorite fictional couples. I loved hearing you discuss about this. This book was so intense and my heart was racing throughout. I have no idea what's going to happen in the next book. One of my favorite part is when Sydney and Adrian finally were able to talk to each other in a spirit dream. I also loved the part where Sydney was invisible and roaming around the place. I'm so glad that the last book is out Feb 2015, which is only about 6 months away. :D
My theory is that the alchemists took Jill to prove they have power over the Moroi. Maybe a trade for Sydney? Idk. But I loved the reaction to the marriage at the court and I loved the reunion between Adrian and Sydney (both in the dream and irl). I also loved Sydneys bad ass power...tbh, this has got to be my favourite book in the series so far. So many emotions :D Edit: ha, funny thing is, I just finished rereading the whole series, just now actually, and spoilers, I wasn't too far off. The only thing I'd say is, The Ruby Circle is now my favourite, I mean that ending if it wasn't perfect, I don't know what is XD though I'd really like to see what would happen next in the lives of Adrian and Sydney, if Neil ever swung by, stuff like that. And of course, Rose and Dimitri and all of the others, literally all of them XD I love these characters so much even after so long :)
I loved how the fountain water-bending scene foiled that scene when they went mini golfing in one of the earlier books and Sydney freaked out because Jill was playing with that fountain. They took SO long to get her out. And Hopper got his mommy back. And Oh My Goodness... they had Chantal for over a year?! Do the Alchemists not have to follow laws? Torturing people like they're a freaking cult. I loved how Sydney was all my name is Ivashkov. The wedding scene made me tear up... I wasn't expecting that. :D
I feel like when it comes to Bloodlines, you just say all the things I was feeling while reading the books. So it's always refreshing to finish the book and not know how to get my thoughts together, but to be able to watch your reviews and have my exact thoughts vocalized. Thank you. Also I am glad that they finally incorporated the whole reason everyone went to Palm Springs in the first place. I love Sydrian, but I'm glad they're finally doing something with Jill. As long as all my favorite characters come out alive...
Isn't her name Carly ?? I think it was the Alchemists or Alicia- Did you know Richelle is thinking about making another series? Possibly about Rose again?
What?? Omg! Where? I was expecting another series cause there still seems to be a lot of unresolved issues with their society. But I thought it'd be more about Jill and Eddie.
In an interview Richelle said that she might make another series after Bloodlines and was considering going back to Rose, I found out about it here www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1647951
I really really REALLY want Christine to do a book talk on Dreams of Gods and Monsters. I finished it yesterday; I was so surprised she hasn't done one yet, because I was so lazy in reading this book and it came out aaaaaaages ago. DO A BOOK TALK FOR DREAMS OF GODS AND MONSTERS! Pretty please?
I agree with you about the fountain scene I was just smiling like an idiot and thinking 'Percy would be proud...' :') ALL THE APPLAUSE FOR SYDNEY AND HER WATER BENDING!!!
Sydney is definitely going to be key to developing that Strigoi antidote. Sonia essentially spelled that out in this book when Adrian went to talk to her and Sonia explained the kind of expertise they were lacking.
I am like dying... Ive already reread the book twice... Its so good... its one of those books that i literally cannot even explain how much i love it or how much the feels get me. SIDRIAN!!!!
Omg I'm soo excited for the last book! I hope all the OG VA characters are gonna play a significant part in the book, haha. Ahh I can just imagine all the feels now!
Read the freaking book 6!!! I feel like I haven't read this either! Because of u!!! It doesn't seem finished without me watching your booktalk and relating to it!! Finish damn boook!!!'n
One of my favorite scenes, well a scene that stood out for me, that you didn't mention was when Sheridan was torturing Sydney and forcing her to call Adrian and Jill creatures of evil. That was when I actually got pretty scared that they were gonna break Sydney and she was gonna be scarred and scared of Adrian or something, but she turned out fine. :)
Also, about Adrian's mom: she lied to the Court about where Adrian was. She compelled a guy to say that Adrian was home (or something of that sorts) at the time that Tatiana was murdered. (When really, he was with Rose, or well.. leaving Rose).
I think the evil witch from earlier in the series that didn't die has Jill.. I can't remember her name now .. Remember how that blonde haired lady was looking for Sydney or Adrian half way through the book? I think I was her looking for them and Jill is her leverage to get Sydney!
I loved the part where they were able to release Hopper from his statue form, it was so heartbreaking thinking about how hungry and bored he must have been.
I love how the last two books titles have been small things. Silver Shadows- Sydney's lily is turning silver there are almost silver shadows Fiery Heart- the t shirt Adrian made and a all that stuff
I had to come back on here and let you know that I watch your videos on my 60' hd screen and you always look AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! !!! Lol. Sorry if that was weird but I had to tell you that. On a different note, I LOVED THIS BOOK! The part where Sydney put up that wall of fire in her wedding dress to save Adrian. OMG loveeeeeeddd it. DONT EFF WITH HER MANNNNNN SHERIDAN! lol. Anyhoo, Love your vids and congratulations on your new apartment with Kat. My 2 favorite book tubers are within 400 miles of me. Yay! I'm in Sacramento and one day when I get back to LA I hope hope HOPE I bump into you guys. We should be besties even though I'm a 30 year old mom. Lol I NEED BOOKISH BESTIES! keep up the amazing vids girl! Muah muah kisses!!!
I am making my mom read the Bloodlines series because it was so good. I am being lenient on her and letting her skip the Vampire Academy series because she thought it was like the movie. I told her it starts at the end of book two, but she wouldn't listen. The reason she is reading from the bloodlines is because I told her she has to read Silver Shadows. :)
I think that was Alicia (the witch from Indigo Spell) who took Jill. Do you remember when Trey told Adrian that a blonde girl dropped by looking for both of them? He let her use the bathroom and I think she did that with hopes that she would find an pessoal item to find Sydney and Adrian so she could get her revenge. She didn't find anything then she kidnapped Jill to attract Sydney... I think.
I actually thought the person to come help and rescue Sydney in the begining would have been Abe because you know how he has power over the alchemists. And then when Adrian went back to Court that Rose would have helped and said "i'll get a hold of my dad". Adrians mum Daniella also went to prison because she stole the alchemist files that hid that Jill was the daughter to Lissa's father. Im actually really starting to hate Lissa now though like in VA she was okay tou know but now shes like becoming really i dont know stuck up maybe. Omg i really cant wait for this next book Ruby Circle to play out can't wait..Yeah im actually torn between two i dont know qho took Jill cause like yeah it could have been the Alchemists like some say because they could have put a traqulizer into Angelines neck and taken Jill to like maybe another replica of re education maybe or yeah it could have been Alicia because she asked for spefically Adrian and Sydney(i actually thought the girl in that showed up at the door for Sydney and Adrian was actually Rowenas girlfriend but i kind of clicked it wasn't later on) and it also could be Alicia who took Jill because Alicia asked Trey if she could use the bathroom and thats where Adrians other old items were AND the brush he had of his and Sydneys hairstrands to so Alicia could have done a location spell to figure out where Sydney was but couldn't reach her till all gas controls were off because remember when Ms.T tried to find her but she was being blocked???? OMG so there could either be an alchemist war between Moroi or either a Witch war that Alicia could find an army to attack Sydney and then like Sydney fights them off on her own or like has Ms.T and that other old lady that also was a witch that let Sydney use her spellbooks OR it could be the whole gang Eddie Angeline Neil Rose Sonya Dimitri Christian go out to find Jill and because Sydney will help locate her because her and Adrian have to stay there and the queen has to stay there to BUT what about Aunt Tatiana when she says "lucky you have me" or something like that what if Adrian has the gift that Rose had to see the dead and communicate with them and then Aunt Tatiana checks if Jills in the world of the dead and everything...
I think Adrian's mom's imprisonment had more to do with stealing the files to cover up Eric Dragomir's illegitimate child. I think it was also revealed that she had tried to orchestrate the whole thing to make sure Adrian didn't take any blame for the Queen's death. She definitely didn't frame Rose because Rose taking the fall was Tasha's endgame.
I hope Richelle will write one more spin-off series. for example with Trey and Angeline, so we could learn more about the Keepers and the Warriors of Light!!! that would be so awesome!
FINISEHED THE BOOK YESTERDAY & NOW DYING WITH ALL THE FEELS!!! I had so many favorite parts in the book but the part where Sydney attitude is like " LEAVE MY MAN ALONE, HURT HIM & DIE BITCH" it was epic!! AND SYDRIAN what can I say about them Their love is so great.. I just I want a love like that. Seriously.
I've been waiting all week for this review. It's spot on. When it comes close to The Ruby Circle time, you should do a crackpot theories video for it. (:
Im concerned how Richelle is going to manage to fit everything into one book that will end the series. 1. First off, Theres the whole Adrian discovering some big secret about spirit. 2. There is also Sydney facing an old nemesis (as the blurb says) 3. And there is the whole Moroi world who have to find out about Sydney's Human powers sooner or later, storyline. 4. Theres also the whole accepting Sydney (a human) as a Moroi's wife, storyline. 5. Theres THE WHOLE jill being kidnaped incident. (I mean it took a whole half of this book being dedicated to actually freeing sydney) How, Richelle is ganna manage finding Jill in one book as well as adding all those above points, thats ganna be hectic. I have faith though! And hope to god Richelle does cover all those points. Im especially excited to see the Moroi's reaction when they find out Sydney is no ordinary human. Oh and i missed Mrs. T!! She and her witch coven is ALSO another storyline Richelle needs to wrap up in the next book. If all those points above are not discussed I'm going to be disappointed. I cant wait for the VA gang and the BLOODLINE gang, to work together. Im quite worried about Eddies mental state because i know he will blame himself for Jills disappearance. He and Jill need to get together already!!!!
Ohhhh and when sidney and adrian are in the hotel but he walks out to the living room and she wakes up going nuts its so intense but sweet also how he trys to calm her down but doesn't know how to
I was able to get my hands on this book a couple days after it came out.... AND FINISHED IT THAT SAME DAY. One of my favorite parts was probably when Marcus was asking about what Sydney told them to tell Carly, something about Cicero's philosophy on life, and Carly explains that they were referring to their cat, and that it was an inside joke that the cat already had everything figured out in life. I'm a cat lover, so I couldn't help but appreciate it. Also, I kinda agree with you about Sydney being frustrating in the beginning of the series. Throughout the second book, I really wanted to shake her hard and tell her, "ARE YOU BLIND? ADRIAN IS IN LOVE WITH YOU! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY NOT SEE THAT? YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THAT SOCIALLY INEPT!"
What did you think of the randomly dropped fact of some blonde with glasses showing up at school looking for Adrian and Sydney that no one knew?! I can't stop trying to figure out who that could be...but of course I loved this book! I love everything she's written so far. Thanks for the video!
I feel that the blonde girl that came to Amberwood dorms after Adrian and Marcus saw Clary was the person who took Jill. It's just, they mentioned her once and it seemed weird. That's my theory on the Jill-napping thing. Don't know if that was a random person or a stupid freakin' Alchemist, but it seems likely.
OMG I was waiting for you to do this book. I was so ready to hear your thoughts and none of my friends are caught up. Yes I was so ready for this book. I wanted to read it so bad with how the last one left off and then to wait a year, a flipping long ass year, to know what happened to our people. AGH! Anyways yes I was so mad when she finally got to the point and was going through so much and trying to stay strong and he is losing himself and has horrible timing. And that he was so blind about Nina, no of course she thought it was different. And then that kiss.....yeah that's going to come up later and I bet it will sting that while she was suffering purging and all waiting for him to find her that happened. Grant it it did turn out to be the kick in the pants he needed but still. Oh and to see all the original VA cast was great through yeah he should have been up front about his feelings from the start. And yeah trying to figure out how the Aunt T voice is going to play out but yes I think it works better as long as he doesn't listen to it too much. Much more manageable. But yes both of them have grown so much and become seriously kick ass. As for the Alchemists I don't know I'm conflicted about them. I think there are many good ones out there I mean if there weren't there wouldn't be a need for so many re-education centers right. And if they could think for themselves without the worry or threat of THAT over their heads then they could once more be a good ally to the community. Though maybe with Sydney being there they can start their own alchemist teams from within court those from the camps who do like them and want to treat them as people not vile creatures. No more outsourcing. And and side thought the Alchemists work to keep people from learning about the supernatural and magic. ..what if they threatened to go public with the whole thing, that would counter everything the But now they've declared war. My theory at the moment is that they took Jill, also I did t see that coming I was so focused on the rest, and plan to use her that oops get Lissa to either hand Sydney over or have her thrown out of power and replaced by someone else who will. So now they have to figure out how to get her back which BTW poor Eddie he keeps losing people on his watch and feeling guilty even when it's not his fault, deal with the whole law thing, also have to worry about court accepting this marriage and we know from the foreshadowing that the prick who tried to get Sydney in her last visit to court is out for blood wi the Adrian so court isn't the safest place and Nina. Oh and yes her sister Rachel, and Marcus and his little crush hehe,I liked her I'm not 100% sure how I feel about her little sister. She's kinda iffy I mean she put Sydney through that and was willing to kill her. Nope but I hope maybe she'll be the one to realize how wrong this is and help with Jill. Redemption maybe. Daddy-o, nope he can rot for all I care and Adrian daddy too. But oh the wedding!!! So sweet and them in the mist of everything happening he wanted to make it special for them. The dress, hair, tux, the whole shabang. And them running through Vegas in their formal attire and her switching out the shoes was just priceless. They are so great together and I had a feeling from the very start that marriage was the best solution, when Lissa said it wasn't her power and she wasn't her subject. but in reality it was so much better. And Lissa waiting and thinking before offering protection it makes sense she has to act as a queen not a friend or romantic and she has to think about the options and problems and at least make sure the others know she weighed the options and try to keep the mori from losing their business over this. Although I do want to know why it's so bad a human and mori I mean sure to the Alchemists but that's how damphirs were first made mori and human. So wtf they would make damphirs when they have kids. Okay I'm typing all of this via my phone because I'm too impatient to wait until i get home many hours from now. I can't wait for the last one but I'm sad to know it will be the end.
Cap just realized the older sister is Carly not Rachel no idea where that came from. And it cut off my thought about exposure "everything they stand for"
Pleases make a video for the ruby circle!! I've seen all your videos for va and bloodlines and I'm dying to hear what you've got to say about the last book!
Thanks for this!! Been looking forward to your review since the release :) I want to know how the blond who came over to Adrian's looking for Sydney plays out, remember she visited the bathroom which creeps me out because I keep thinking she may have left with a persona item for some freaky ass spell. Could be Alice. And does it have anything to do with Olive leaving too?? AND I REALLY WANTED TO SEE MORE Ms Terwilliger and Wolfe! The book was great but for some reason the ending felt too abrupt. Plus Nina. I don't mind if she accidentally somehow dies...
Please do the ruby circle!
Yes! I've been waiting for it for sooo long!!😂😂
Yes!
Christine.. WHERE IS YOUR BOOKTALK ON THE RUBY CIRCLE?.. :( pleace don't tell me you haven't read it yet!
Sydney literally went from "Basic Bitch" to "Flawless" throughout this series! I love it!
Always when i start watching one of christine's videos i'm afraid of how loud her shout is going to be
Thats why I love her videos ! :D
I always base it on how good/bad/sad the book was. If it was terrible/amazing/super sad then I turn my volume down but if it's eh then I turn it up a bit louder
She should have a permanent warning at the beginning of her video's "BEWARE HEADPHONE USERS" XD
lennyxxx16 ikr hahaha
please, please, please, please DO A BOOK TALK ON RUBY CIRCLE I NEED CLOSURE! Love your videos!
I agreeeee!!
Please please do this
I'm forever waiting for you to look this excited for ruby circle. I've always wanted to know you took the Adrian/Dimitri family news.
lizbeth guevara I was shook.
yes! Please may there be a Ruby Circle Book Talk! I love Christines Book talks - the first place I go after finishing a book!
I loved at the end when they're at Court with everyone and Ian goes "Sydney Sage's fate isn't in your hands. You have no right to-" and then Sydney cuts him off and is like "Ivashkov. My name is Sydney Ivashkov now, Ian." And her dad just exploded it was so funny.
Oh my goshhhhhh sydney takes adrians last name?!!!!! I am still on vampire academy book 4 and cant wait for bloodlines
I NEED a booktalk for the Ruby Circle from you please!!!
I think it was Alicia who took Jill. Her body was never found in The Indigo Spell, and she could easily be the unidentified blonde girl with glasses that showed up looking for them. But your theory is certainly interesting, and it does make sense... You were saying it and I was like, "Ohmygod!" But that doesn't explain random blonde girl showing up on Adrian's doorstep...
What Jill was taken?!! Sorry I got bored reading the book on like page 40...
I also think Alicia took Jill. It was my first thought. And in the next book I think Alchemists will combine with Warriors of the Light. Like Christine said they called it war so everything can happen.
I was thinking the same thing!! ^^^
OMG I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT GRL WHO TURNED UP! totally forgot who alicia was???
I think so too! Especially, since Rose described the kidnapping as "magic". Although, if Lissa believes the Alchemists took Jill for revenge or leverage, that should complicate things between them and Moroi.
why isnt there a booktalk for ruby circle 😭
CHRISTINE I'M CONFUSED. WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR THE RUBY CIRCLE REVIEW?!?!! I NEED IT IN MY LIFE BECAUSE THAT BOOK IS PERFECTION
My favorite part was when Adrian proposed to Sydney. I screamed for a WHILE after that happened
I do love the spines! They make up for the covers.
I think this is the best booktalk in the history of booktalks. SO MANY FEELS.
OMG CHRISTINE YOUR THOUGHTS ARE LITERALLY ALWAYS ON POINT LIKE HOW.
Favourite part: when Adrian saw Sydney in the wedding dress
Have you read the Ruby circle yet? And made a booktalk! I really liked it. And I really like your videos
This is my favourite series ever!!! So glad you love it too! Was fangirling so much with it too! And Adrian 💕💕💕 he's too perfect
I loved that Marcus and Carly scene and how she just straight up told her story
CHRISTINE PLEASE DO A BOOK TALK ON RUBY CIRCLEEEEEE!!!!!!

Pleases make a video for the ruby circle!! I've seen all your videos for va and bloodlines and I'm dying to hear what you've got to say about the last book! So sad the series is over

The end. That was epic. I love your slow motion scenes. And the fast motion ones too.
I lost it at "YOU'RE SO STUPID, ROSE!" Bahahahhh Titanic reference. Loving it!
Great book talk, Christine! Bloodlines is one of my favorite series and Sydrian is one of my favorite fictional couples. I loved hearing you discuss about this. This book was so intense and my heart was racing throughout. I have no idea what's going to happen in the next book. One of my favorite part is when Sydney and Adrian finally were able to talk to each other in a spirit dream. I also loved the part where Sydney was invisible and roaming around the place. I'm so glad that the last book is out Feb 2015, which is only about 6 months away. :D
"Water fire bending crazy ass magician wizard bitch!" One of my favorite things you said this video
did you read the ruby circle? what do you think?
Your excitement and input makes looking back on these books so awesome xD
My theory is that the alchemists took Jill to prove they have power over the Moroi. Maybe a trade for Sydney? Idk. But I loved the reaction to the marriage at the court and I loved the reunion between Adrian and Sydney (both in the dream and irl). I also loved Sydneys bad ass power...tbh, this has got to be my favourite book in the series so far. So many emotions :D
Edit: ha, funny thing is, I just finished rereading the whole series, just now actually, and spoilers, I wasn't too far off. The only thing I'd say is, The Ruby Circle is now my favourite, I mean that ending if it wasn't perfect, I don't know what is XD though I'd really like to see what would happen next in the lives of Adrian and Sydney, if Neil ever swung by, stuff like that. And of course, Rose and Dimitri and all of the others, literally all of them XD I love these characters so much even after so long :)
Are u going to do THE RUBY CRICLE???
I loved how the fountain water-bending scene foiled that scene when they went mini golfing in one of the earlier books and Sydney freaked out because Jill was playing with that fountain.
They took SO long to get her out. And Hopper got his mommy back.
And Oh My Goodness... they had Chantal for over a year?! Do the Alchemists not have to follow laws? Torturing people like they're a freaking cult.
I loved how Sydney was all my name is Ivashkov.
The wedding scene made me tear up... I wasn't expecting that. :D
I feel like when it comes to Bloodlines, you just say all the things I was feeling while reading the books. So it's always refreshing to finish the book and not know how to get my thoughts together, but to be able to watch your reviews and have my exact thoughts vocalized. Thank you.
Also I am glad that they finally incorporated the whole reason everyone went to Palm Springs in the first place. I love Sydrian, but I'm glad they're finally doing something with Jill. As long as all my favorite characters come out alive...
RUBY CIRCLE PLEASE
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG BECAUSE I NEEDED TO SHARE MY EXCITEMENT WITH YOU OMG 😭
I'do like a RUBY CIRCLE book talk, please! jk! ;)No, but really, it seems all weird not having a final book talk for this series...
Lmao. Who's Rachel, Christine? It's Carly :D
OOPSIES XD
Such good timing for this booktalk to come out cause i just finished it today!
Isn't her name Carly ?? I think it was the Alchemists or Alicia- Did you know Richelle is thinking about making another series? Possibly about Rose again?
Where did you hear this??? Did Richelle say it???? Omg I really hope so I can't have this world be over!
What?? Omg! Where? I was expecting another series cause there still seems to be a lot of unresolved issues with their society. But I thought it'd be more about Jill and Eddie.
In an interview Richelle said that she might make another series after Bloodlines and was considering going back to Rose, I found out about it here www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1647951
Anjibooks omgg! freaking out! :D thanks for the info btw ^^
Yeah np :)
I really really REALLY want Christine to do a book talk on Dreams of Gods and Monsters. I finished it yesterday; I was so surprised she hasn't done one yet, because I was so lazy in reading this book and it came out aaaaaaages ago. DO A BOOK TALK FOR DREAMS OF GODS AND MONSTERS! Pretty please?
I agree with you about the fountain scene I was just smiling like an idiot and thinking 'Percy would be proud...' :') ALL THE APPLAUSE FOR SYDNEY AND HER WATER BENDING!!!
Sydney is definitely going to be key to developing that Strigoi antidote. Sonia essentially spelled that out in this book when Adrian went to talk to her and Sonia explained the kind of expertise they were lacking.
I am like dying... Ive already reread the book twice... Its so good... its one of those books that i literally cannot even explain how much i love it or how much the feels get me. SIDRIAN!!!!
are u going to do the ruby circle😞😶😬😕
Omg I'm soo excited for the last book! I hope all the OG VA characters are gonna play a significant part in the book, haha. Ahh I can just imagine all the feels now!
Read the freaking book 6!!! I feel like I haven't read this either! Because of u!!! It doesn't seem finished without me watching your booktalk and relating to it!! Finish damn boook!!!'n
Christine stop dropping the beautiful books!!! U killing everyone of them!!! 😭
I'm pretty sure this is my favorite review ever!
Every fangirl's dream to see your ships wedding :)
The bloodline and vampire academy books are literally my lyyyyyfe🙊🙊🙊😍😍😍😍😍
Please do the next one. I know it's been like a decade... But still 🥺
One of my favorite scenes, well a scene that stood out for me, that you didn't mention was when Sheridan was torturing Sydney and forcing her to call Adrian and Jill creatures of evil. That was when I actually got pretty scared that they were gonna break Sydney and she was gonna be scarred and scared of Adrian or something, but she turned out fine. :)
Also, about Adrian's mom: she lied to the Court about where Adrian was. She compelled a guy to say that Adrian was home (or something of that sorts) at the time that Tatiana was murdered. (When really, he was with Rose, or well.. leaving Rose).
When are you going to do the Ruby Circle book talk?
Lol!! Cracked up when you said "NINA! Stop hanging out with Nina Adrian" that was totally my reaction!
I haven't read Silver Shadows yet, but I bet this was a great book talk! xx
I loved this book! I really hope all of the VA characters have a big role in the next one!
Can't wait the whole series come out in France !
I think the evil witch from earlier in the series that didn't die has Jill.. I can't remember her name now .. Remember how that blonde haired lady was looking for Sydney or Adrian half way through the book? I think I was her looking for them and Jill is her leverage to get Sydney!
Could you post a review about the last book. Ruby circle ?
Btw your reviews are awesome!!!
I loved the part where they were able to release Hopper from his statue form, it was so heartbreaking thinking about how hungry and bored he must have been.
I love how the last two books titles have been small things.
Silver Shadows- Sydney's lily is turning silver there are almost silver shadows
Fiery Heart- the t shirt Adrian made and a all that stuff
Isla and the Happily Ever After was at my bookstore early!
I thought only I could get that excited about books. You go girl.
4 years later I am still waiting on ruby circle.....
OMG I seriously need you to do a review of the Ruby Circle! I need to see your reaction!
When you yelled: "You're so stupid, Rose!" your voice and your expression just reminded me of Jack in Titanic, for some weird reason.
Ooooooh, Jack actually said that. I get it now. When Rose's getting off the lifeboats.
I like thrillers with a lot of twists and turns...with a "didn't see that coming at all" ending. any suggested reads:)
I had to come back on here and let you know that I watch your videos on my 60' hd screen and you always look AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! !!! Lol. Sorry if that was weird but I had to tell you that. On a different note, I LOVED THIS BOOK! The part where Sydney put up that wall of fire in her wedding dress to save Adrian. OMG loveeeeeeddd it. DONT EFF WITH HER MANNNNNN SHERIDAN! lol. Anyhoo, Love your vids and congratulations on your new apartment with Kat. My 2 favorite book tubers are within 400 miles of me. Yay! I'm in Sacramento and one day when I get back to LA I hope hope HOPE I bump into you guys. We should be besties even though I'm a 30 year old mom. Lol I NEED BOOKISH BESTIES! keep up the amazing vids girl! Muah muah kisses!!!

Can't wait for you to do the ruby circle!!!!!!!
I actually thought the person to come help and rescue Sydney in the begining would have been Abe because you know how he has power over the alchemists. And then when Adrian went back to Court that Rose would have helped and said "i'll get a hold of my dad". Adrians mum Daniella also went to prison because she stole the alchemist files that hid that Jill was the daughter to Lissa's father. Im actually really starting to hate Lissa now though like in VA she was okay tou know but now shes like becoming really i dont know stuck up maybe. Omg i really cant wait for this next book Ruby Circle to play out can't wait..Yeah im actually torn between two i dont know qho took Jill cause like yeah it could have been the Alchemists like some say because they could have put a traqulizer into Angelines neck and taken Jill to like maybe another replica of re education maybe or yeah it could have been Alicia because she asked for spefically Adrian and Sydney(i actually thought the girl in that showed up at the door for Sydney and Adrian was actually Rowenas girlfriend but i kind of clicked it wasn't later on) and it also could be Alicia who took Jill because Alicia asked Trey if she could use the bathroom and thats where Adrians other old items were AND the brush he had of his and Sydneys hairstrands to so Alicia could have done a location spell to figure out where Sydney was but couldn't reach her till all gas controls were off because remember when Ms.T tried to find her but she was being blocked???? OMG so there could either be an alchemist war between Moroi or either a Witch war that Alicia could find an army to attack Sydney and then like Sydney fights them off on her own or like has Ms.T and that other old lady that also was a witch that let Sydney use her spellbooks OR it could be the whole gang Eddie Angeline Neil Rose Sonya Dimitri Christian go out to find Jill and because Sydney will help locate her because her and Adrian have to stay there and the queen has to stay there to BUT what about Aunt Tatiana when she says "lucky you have me" or something like that what if Adrian has the gift that Rose had to see the dead and communicate with them and then Aunt Tatiana checks if Jills in the world of the dead and everything...
I think Adrian's mom's imprisonment had more to do with stealing the files to cover up Eric Dragomir's illegitimate child. I think it was also revealed that she had tried to orchestrate the whole thing to make sure Adrian didn't take any blame for the Queen's death. She definitely didn't frame Rose because Rose taking the fall was Tasha's endgame.
Still waiting on the Ruby Circle book talk. :(
please do The Ruby Circle!!
I hope Richelle will write one more spin-off series. for example with Trey and Angeline, so we could learn more about the Keepers and the Warriors of Light!!! that would be so awesome!
FINISEHED THE BOOK YESTERDAY & NOW DYING WITH ALL THE FEELS!!! I had so many favorite parts in the book but the part where Sydney attitude is like " LEAVE MY MAN ALONE, HURT HIM & DIE BITCH" it was epic!! AND SYDRIAN what can I say about them
Their love is so great.. I just I want a love like that. Seriously.
WHERE IS THE BOOK TALK FOR RUBY CIRCLE!!?? I need it D'x
I've been waiting all week for this review. It's spot on. When it comes close to The Ruby Circle time, you should do a crackpot theories video for it. (:
Im concerned how Richelle is going to manage to fit everything into one book that will end the series.
1. First off, Theres the whole Adrian discovering some big secret about spirit.
2. There is also Sydney facing an old nemesis (as the blurb says)
3. And there is the whole Moroi world who have to find out about Sydney's Human powers sooner or later, storyline.
4. Theres also the whole accepting Sydney (a human) as a Moroi's wife, storyline.
5. Theres THE WHOLE jill being kidnaped incident. (I mean it took a whole half of this book being dedicated to actually freeing sydney) How, Richelle is ganna manage finding Jill in one book as well as adding all those above points, thats ganna be hectic.
I have faith though! And hope to god Richelle does cover all those points. Im especially excited to see the Moroi's reaction when they find out Sydney is no ordinary human. Oh and i missed Mrs. T!! She and her witch coven is ALSO another storyline Richelle needs to wrap up in the next book.
If all those points above are not discussed I'm going to be disappointed.
I cant wait for the VA gang and the BLOODLINE gang, to work together. Im quite worried about Eddies mental state because i know he will blame himself for Jills disappearance. He and Jill need to get together already!!!!
Soooo...9 years later how was the last book?
Ohhhh and when sidney and adrian are in the hotel but he walks out to the living room and she wakes up going nuts its so intense but sweet also how he trys to calm her down but doesn't know how to
I was able to get my hands on this book a couple days after it came out.... AND FINISHED IT THAT SAME DAY.
One of my favorite parts was probably when Marcus was asking about what Sydney told them to tell Carly, something about Cicero's philosophy on life, and Carly explains that they were referring to their cat, and that it was an inside joke that the cat already had everything figured out in life. I'm a cat lover, so I couldn't help but appreciate it.
Also, I kinda agree with you about Sydney being frustrating in the beginning of the series. Throughout the second book, I really wanted to shake her hard and tell her, "ARE YOU BLIND? ADRIAN IS IN LOVE WITH YOU! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY NOT SEE THAT? YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BE THAT SOCIALLY INEPT!"
What did you think of the randomly dropped fact of some blonde with glasses showing up at school looking for Adrian and Sydney that no one knew?! I can't stop trying to figure out who that could be...but of course I loved this book! I love everything she's written so far. Thanks for the video!
That witch Alicia from The Indigo Spell
Momo Siddiqui thats what i thought too!
*tugs book cover off* VOOOSH! GONE! I deleted it.
Classic Christine 😂
I feel that the blonde girl that came to Amberwood dorms after Adrian and Marcus saw Clary was the person who took Jill. It's just, they mentioned her once and it seemed weird. That's my theory on the Jill-napping thing. Don't know if that was a random person or a stupid freakin' Alchemist, but it seems likely.
OMG I was waiting for you to do this book. I was so ready to hear your thoughts and none of my friends are caught up. Yes I was so ready for this book. I wanted to read it so bad with how the last one left off and then to wait a year, a flipping long ass year, to know what happened to our people. AGH! Anyways yes I was so mad when she finally got to the point and was going through so much and trying to stay strong and he is losing himself and has horrible timing. And that he was so blind about Nina, no of course she thought it was different. And then that kiss.....yeah that's going to come up later and I bet it will sting that while she was suffering purging and all waiting for him to find her that happened. Grant it it did turn out to be the kick in the pants he needed but still. Oh and to see all the original VA cast was great through yeah he should have been up front about his feelings from the start. And yeah trying to figure out how the Aunt T voice is going to play out but yes I think it works better as long as he doesn't listen to it too much. Much more manageable. But yes both of them have grown so much and become seriously kick ass.
As for the Alchemists I don't know I'm conflicted about them. I think there are many good ones out there I mean if there weren't there wouldn't be a need for so many re-education centers right. And if they could think for themselves without the worry or threat of THAT over their heads then they could once more be a good ally to the community. Though maybe with Sydney being there they can start their own alchemist teams from within court those from the camps who do like them and want to treat them as people not vile creatures. No more outsourcing. And and side thought the Alchemists work to keep people from learning about the supernatural and magic. ..what if they threatened to go public with the whole thing, that would counter everything the
But now they've declared war. My theory at the moment is that they took Jill, also I did t see that coming I was so focused on the rest, and plan to use her that oops get Lissa to either hand Sydney over or have her thrown out of power and replaced by someone else who will. So now they have to figure out how to get her back which BTW poor Eddie he keeps losing people on his watch and feeling guilty even when it's not his fault, deal with the whole law thing, also have to worry about court accepting this marriage and we know from the foreshadowing that the prick who tried to get Sydney in her last visit to court is out for blood wi the Adrian so court isn't the safest place and Nina.
Oh and yes her sister Rachel, and Marcus and his little crush hehe,I liked her I'm not 100% sure how I feel about her little sister. She's kinda iffy I mean she put Sydney through that and was willing to kill her. Nope but I hope maybe she'll be the one to realize how wrong this is and help with Jill. Redemption maybe. Daddy-o, nope he can rot for all I care and Adrian daddy too.
But oh the wedding!!! So sweet and them in the mist of everything happening he wanted to make it special for them. The dress, hair, tux, the whole shabang. And them running through Vegas in their formal attire and her switching out the shoes was just priceless. They are so great together and I had a feeling from the very start that marriage was the best solution, when Lissa said it wasn't her power and she wasn't her subject. but in reality it was so much better. And Lissa waiting and thinking before offering protection it makes sense she has to act as a queen not a friend or romantic and she has to think about the options and problems and at least make sure the others know she weighed the options and try to keep the mori from losing their business over this. Although I do want to know why it's so bad a human and mori I mean sure to the Alchemists but that's how damphirs were first made mori and human. So wtf they would make damphirs when they have kids.
Okay I'm typing all of this via my phone because I'm too impatient to wait until i get home many hours from now. I can't wait for the last one but I'm sad to know it will be the end.
Cap just realized the older sister is Carly not Rachel no idea where that came from. And it cut off my thought about exposure "everything they stand for"
Pleases make a video for the ruby circle!! I've seen all your videos for va and bloodlines and I'm dying to hear what you've got to say about the last book!
The whole series sound pretty cool!
I can't believe I haven't gotten it yet! Bloodlines is definitely in my top five faves
Thanks for this!! Been looking forward to your review since the release :)
I want to know how the blond who came over to Adrian's looking for Sydney plays out, remember she visited the bathroom which creeps me out because I keep thinking she may have left with a persona item for some freaky ass spell. Could be Alice. And does it have anything to do with Olive leaving too??
AND I REALLY WANTED TO SEE MORE Ms Terwilliger and Wolfe!
The book was great but for some reason the ending felt too abrupt.
Plus Nina. I don't mind if she accidentally somehow dies...
I agree i picture the actors in the movie when i read the book, but i still have my own adrian!!
