Tome Thursday: The Ruby Circle

Hello everyone!

Back in February, I wrote a quick little review about The Silver Shadows, the fifth book in Richelle Mead's Bloodlines series, and obviously I was late in doing so because it took a while for the physical book to arrive (I did have the electronic version, but truth be told I enjoy reading these ones in their original forms). Which meant I was pretty much just weeks away from the publishing date of The Ruby Circle, the sixth and final installment in the series, as well as the much-anticipated grand finale of the whole saga begun with the Vampire Academy years back.

Cue my excitement!

I can't even remember how or why I got into these books in the first place, I know for Twilight that I honestly wanted to know what the hype was about, and A Song o Ice and Fire was introduced to me on a weekend trip, but these books? No idea. I started reading Bloodlines because I loved the Vampire Academy series, and so it was sort of bitter-sweet for me to pick up the very last book (or it's last according to the author).

Tome Thursday: The Silver Shadows

Hello everyone!

So a while back, probably in my first book blog post, I talked about some books by an author who's name is Richelle Mead (I think it was her Succubus series). I'm kind of a big fan of her vampire ones though, probably because I started reading her work when I bought the first three Vampire Academy novels, and I've been hooked ever since. It's a different take on vampire lore yet again, and a lot of hard-core vampire book fans don't like it. That's okay, because to each their own, I mean, I've read so many variations on vampires by this point that there's precious little I HAVEN'T seen, myself. But anyway, back to VA!

The six books in the first series were amazing, so imagine my surprise when the author announced she would be writing a spin-off series, again comprising of six books! This one is called Bloodlines, and man, did I fall in love with the characters there too. We get guest appearances from all our favourites from the first series, and the minor characters from there take center stage in this one. The books go, as follows, Bloodlines, The Golden Lily, The Indigo Spell, The Fiery Heart, The Silver Shadows, The Ruby Circle (out this February!). In this review, I'm going to talk about The Silver Shadows.
