They protect vampire secrets—and human lives. In The Indigo Spell , Sydney was torn between the Alchemist way of life and what her heart and gut were telling her to do. And in one breathtaking moment that Richelle Mead fans will never forget, she made a decision that shocked even her. . . . But the struggle isn't over for Sydney. As she navigates the aftermath of her life-changing decision, she still finds herself pulled in too many directions at once. Her sister Zoe has arrived, and while Sydney longs to grow closer to her, there's still so much she must keep secret. Working with Marcus has changed the way she views the Alchemists, and Sydney must tread a careful path as she harnesses her profound magical ability to undermine the way of life she was raised to defend. Consumed by passion and vengeance, Sydney struggles to keep her secret life under wraps as the threat of exposure—and re-education—looms larger than ever. Pulses will race throughout this smoldering fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe. Review: My favorite book in the Bloodlines series! - Originally posted on my blog: Tangled Up In Books The Fiery Heart was both my favorite book in the series thus far and the hardest to read. When I opened the book and saw the first chapter was in Adrian's POV I had an initial burst of excitement and then my stomach dropped because if you're at all familiar with this series and Adrian Ivashkov than you're familiar with his bouts of depression and the vices he uses for coping mechanisms. It's one thing to witness his self-destruction secondhand as you're reading either from Rose or Sydney's POV as we've done up to this point. And it is an entirely new experience to be inside his head when he hits those really low spots and watch his mind spin out of control when in the grips and aftermath of spirit. I was brought to tears and it really hit home just how fragile his mind is. --"I'm not your concierge. Neither is Sydney. I don't know why she always takes care of that stuff for you. She should be dealing with things that are essential for your survival. Ordering pizza isn't one of them." I knew there was going to be a lot of frustration while reading this book, due to the arrival of a certain character at the end of Indigo Spell. The level of that frustration, though, really took me by surprise. The temptation to throw my book across the room hit me hard on more than one occasion. I knew before I even started reading exactly where things would eventually lead just from seeing her name appear on the page. Yet even that predictability and frustration didn't take anything away from how insanely good this book was. --"And don't think for an instant that I wouldn't do terrible, unspeakable things if it could save someone I love." The more I get into this series the deeper my feelings go for these characters. Whether it's ones I never thought I'd feel anything for really like Ms. T, Wolfe, Angeline and Trey, who I now find myself excited to get to the next scene they'll appear in. Or characters that I've loved since I first met them like Adrian, Sydney, Jill and Eddy. I can't get enough. They've all made changes since the start of the series. Some in very small ways and others so drastically that if you went back and started at the beginning again you'd hardly recognize them. --Whereas Angeline's antics made me want to pull out my hair sometimes, he found them endearing. I swear sometimes Angeline didn't even have to be in a scene for you to be laughing at her antics. One character would relate to another what zany thing she'd recently done and I would burst with laughter. Because it was all just so sweet and endearing and they're things that are basically common knowledge to you and me but she comes from a different world and doesn't know any better, like when she went on about how the meerkat wasn't really a cat...I went from being so leery of having her added to the storyline to wondering, like Adrian had at one point, what their lives would have been like without her. She was definitely a bright spot of comic relief to lighten up things when they were either frustrating or sad. Just about everyone had their moments of humor but I adored Angeline's the most. --Everyone said I concealed my feelings, but he always seemed to know how I felt. Oh my word and things have really heated up between Adrian and Sydney. If this were any other series and any other set of characters I probably would blame my love for all things Sydrian on the fact that we're dealing with a forbidden romance because, let's face it, I'm all about the taboo when it comes to reading romance. While I do love that extra little something it adds to the story, I really do just love both of these characters so much. Just a discreet shared look across a room full of people is enough to set me into a swoon frenzy when it comes to these two. I'm not sure I've ever shipped anything so hard before. --"Things have fallen apart," I said, finally taking the dragon. "The center didn't hold." There's only two books left for me at this point. I'm feeling a mixture of excitement, nerves and sadness. I'm so excited to see what will come of these characters, all of them, and this world that they live in. I'm nervous for many reasons. One of them of course being that crazy cliffhanger, once again something to reinforce how glad I am I waited until all the books where out before I started! Another just the worry of seeing everything come together and the, hopefully, closure of everything going on with all these people from both Vampire Academy and Bloodlines both since the storyline affects everyone. Plus my track record with being happy with series endings is a bit shaky. And I'm sad because that's just it, it's going to be an ending. But until then I just need to make it through Silver Shadows... Review: The Fiery Heart is undeniably a brutal novel that offers nothing but a passionate love & heartbreak. Bloodlines best installment - We can all agree writing a review isn’t easy, especially if the book hit you in a way you were completely not expecting. The Fiery Heart is one of those rare cases. I was anticipating this book for literally months but I didn’t foresee that It would get such a very strong reaction from me and by strong I meant WHY DID YOU END LIKE THAT RICHELLE MEAD! I GOTTA HAVE SILVER SHADOWS NOW-I HAVE NEEDS, LIFE-IS-OVER kind of response. After finishing reading The Fiery Heart in one sitting, I’m 100% sure I suffered a mental breakdown and post the-fiery-heart-depression. It wasn’t easy. I can’t cope up just yet. The Fiery Heart picks up not longer after The Indigo Spell ended, Sydney and Adrian are struggling to keep their relationship off the radar and with her sister Zoe around. Everything is not as easy as it seems. Working with Marcus has changed her perspective and beliefs with the Alchemista and Sydney must now make a decision that would gravely impact the life she was raised with. The new dual point-of-view is flawless. With a distinction between Sydney and Adrian’s point of view the shifting chapters flow smoothly, It’s not confusing and very relatable in that you could perfectly see everything from their perspective. It’s very refreshing to finally get inside Adrian’s head. We had know him since Frostbite but we never had the chance to get to know intimately until Bloodlines. In The Fiery Heart we see him more in a vulnerable and strong perspective. We get to know his past and what kind of inner demons he’s battling. Adrian and Sydney’s relationship move to the next level, I couldn’t help but to be proud of them. Sydney Sage raised the bar of heroines. She’s one of a kind. There are no words to describe how empowering her character is as a reader and as a woman. I’m trying not to be biased but she’s simply one of the best protagonists and heroines I’ve ever read and encountered. Adrian, my poor lost soul. He’s quirky, witty, handsome, and swoonable (that’s a word I invented only for him alone.) There’s no boring moment with him. They are quite a pair. They are no doubt today’s Young Adult best well written couple. All of the characters had gone through great character developments. Kudos to you Richelle. It warms my heart to see the Vampire Academy characters back once again. It’s like a dream come true. I couldn’t ask for any better reunion except next time to have Jill, Eddie, Angeline and the rest of the gang at court. The tone of The Fiery Heart is the usual Richelle Mead kind of thing. It has witty comebacks, passion, heartbreak, sorrow, revenge and despair. The Fiery Heart is as real as it get. Bloodlines was the introduction or should I say the debut novel of the series. in The Golden Lily Sydney unravels some discoveries about herself and her feelings. In The Indigo Spell she come to terms with how she really feels and re-evaluates her definition of right and wrong. In The Fiery Heart it was a rush of emotions. This book is filled with passion. It will make you swoon. Like I said there’s Mead humor in it and you can’t help but laugh out loud. This book is not just about blissful sunsets. The Fiery Heart is dark in a terrible kind of way. Richelle perfectly captured the crack of the story, the harsh, brutal system that would tear your heart apart. The Fiery Heart grabbed me from the moment I started reading it. I savored and devoured every page of it. Mead is ruthless enough to throw a lot of twists out there that would make the readers sad and emotional. Yeah, I anticipated that particular pivotal moment were going to happen but It still doesn’t make it any easier to cope up with all of the consequences. Futhermore, Richelle Mead outdoes herself once again. The Fiery Heart exceeded all my expectations. The cliffhanger will leave you with a bitter feeling that will make you ache for Silver Shadows. I cannot wait enough for the next installment of this series. All I know is Richelle Mead never disappoints. The Fiery Heart is undeniably a brutal novel that offers nothing but a passionate love & heartbreak. Bloodlines best installment yet. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #968,499 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #84 in Teen & Young Adult Vampire Fiction #355 in Teen & Young Adult Friendship Fiction #905 in Teen & Young Adult Paranormal Romance | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,413 Reviews | ## Images ![The Fiery Heart - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811rkLQqq0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite book in the Bloodlines series! *by S***S on March 20, 2015* Originally posted on my blog: Tangled Up In Books The Fiery Heart was both my favorite book in the series thus far and the hardest to read.

Bloodlines best installment yet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 Stars *by S***R on December 19, 2013* I just love Richelle Mead. I loved Vampire Academy. I love Adrian, Sydney, them together, Eddie, all the characters really. I love this spin-off series. And well The Fiery Heart just makes it all that much better. The Fiery Heart is definitely the best in the series so far. And I can’t wait to see how it fits into the entire series as a whole. Richelle Mead likened The Fiery Heart for Bloodlines to Shadow Kiss for Vampire Academy. She said that what Shadow Kiss did for the Vampire Academy series, The Fiery Heart will do for the Bloodlines series, and I can totally see what she means. Obviously, the books aren’t mirror images, as a matter of fact, they’re quite different. But I think what she meant by that was that Shadow Kiss took Vampire Academy to the next level with the storyline and the characters, and that’s exactly what The Fiery Heart has done for the Bloodlines series. Where things have been a little slower paced for the series up until this point, I can totally see how everything from here on out will be faster paced and more intense. Without getting into too much detail, The Fiery Heart was a really sweet book. Sydney’s made her choice in The Indigo Spell. She’s overcome her Alchemist hangups, and she and Adrian are officially a couple. And well, just witnessing that was beautiful. It was fun. And it was sigh-worthy. Though Richelle Mead avoids any graphic detail in The Fiery Heart, there are several physical scenes—to the point where I’m not sure what age group I would feel comfortable recommending this book. But don’t be confused, everything’s not perfect for Sydney and Adrian because, now more than ever, they have to go through so much effort to keep their relationship a secret. And as any reader would suspect, this is made more difficult by the addition of Sydney’s younger sister, Zoe, joining the Palm Springs team. Zoe has something to prove—that she can be just as good, if not better, of an Alchemist as Sydney has been. Sydney is every bit the leading female that Rose was from Vampire Academy. Where Rose is all brute force and smart mouth, Sydney is cunning, smart, and all finesse. Sydney takes care of business. She takes care of everyone else. But she’s being pulled in too many directions these days. She has the Alchemists mission. She has her witchcraft. She has a new and rapidly developing relationship with Adrian. She has found friends in the other Moroi and dhampirs in the group. She has the resistance to the Alchemist mission with Marcus Finch. She has her parents upcoming divorce and custody battle of her younger sister. And she of course is trying to balance a dangerous line with being a sister and being free to pursue all of her side interests that Zoe can’t know about. It’s inevitable that Sydney will become overwhelmed with all of her responsibilities. Adrian finally gets everything that his fans have been hoping for throughout both Vampire Academy and Bloodlines. People hated the way Rose treated him. While I do NOT approve of Rose’s treatment of Adrian, I was always a Rose and Dimitri fan. And I firmly believe that Adrian needed to go through that experience with Rose in order for him to be in the right place and frame of mind to be ready for Sydney and his relationship with her. Adrian really comes into his own. He struggles with battling his persona of bad boy, slacker with who he wants to be for Sydney. He wants Sydney to have the world. And of course, he wants to be the one to give it to her. Adrian shows how essential he is to the Moroi as a whole, to Sydney as a partner, and just in general. He makes some difficult choices, and he grows more in this book than probably any other. Yet he’s the same old Adrian that we all fell in love with way back when he showed up on a porch in the middle of Strigoi crisis back in book 2, Frostbite, of Vampire Academy. The secondary characters continue to grow on me. I’d absolutely LOVE for Richelle Mead to write from Eddie’s POV! Give Eddie his own spin off series! PLEASE! He’s been such a staple throughout both Vampire Academy and Bloodlines. I just love him! He’s so loyal. He’s intense. He’s just trying to be the best guardian he possibly can. And we of course have Jill, who I’ve grown to like more. She still makes some decisions that I think are indicative of her young age, but overall she’s growing on me. Angelina is still as whacky as ever—though she has a much smaller role. Trey. Jackie. The addition of Neil to the group. He was okay. A bit intense. He has a purpose to serve and he does so willingly and with conviction. And then we even see almost all of our favorites from Vampire Academy. Rose, Dimitri, Christian, Lissa, and even Sonya make appearances. I hated the way that Rose sees Adrian—how she can’t see his growth and seems like she’ll always see him as some slacker, but it makes sense that she does see him that way. I loved seeing Lissa’s interaction with Adrian as they were always close but in a completely different way than the others. They bond over Spirit, which totally makes sense. but you can tell how much Lissa cares for him. And then there’s Zoe, of course. She deserves her own paragraph because she has a much bigger role within the book as a whole. On the one hand, I feel really sorry for Zoe. She’s trying so hard to find her father’s approval. Unfortunately he’s one of those that doesn’t hand it out easily—if ever really. So she’s fighting an almost impossible battle. And because she craves that so much, she’s driven to make bad decisions in order to please him. She feels so lonely, and that’s an aspect that I can relate to. Her sister is there, right beside her, but yet so far away at the same time. Sydney doesn’t agree with Zoe on almost anything at this point—whether Zoe intellectually knows it or not, she can definitely feel the divide between them. She’s surrounded by people she’s afraid of and trying her best not to get close to. And then her parents are getting a divorce, which is enough to tear at the heart of any child, much less one who is thrust so specifically in the middle and used against one parent. I hated what all she was going through—I felt sorry for her. Yet at the same time, I despised her weakness. Truly Zoe just needs to come into her own as a person. Hopefully we’ll see some growth out of her in the coming books. I almost feel like I can’t fully rate The Fiery Heart until I see how the rest of the series plays out. I need to know how crucial it is to the evolution of the series as whole. Yet, because I can’t know that yet, I’m going to go with a very merry 4.5 Stars. I loved the romance between Sydney and Adrian. I thought the conflict of trying to balance it all was well done. And in true Richelle Mead style, we’re left at a semi-cliffhanger, and I’m dying to know what happens next. Have you read The Fiery Heart? What did you think? Let me know!
