Wow. Really, Mead? Way to defy all worries and freakin' deliver with your last Bloodlines book.

Sydrian is in deep doodoo now that their illicit romance has been exposed to the world, and with the disappearance of someone they both love, they must hunt down a former nemesis and risk everything. Pretty high stakes, right? Both their lives and their love are at risk, and it shows: The Ruby Circle is tense and suspenseful. It is a bit shorter than the other books, clocking in at 348 pages, which works to its advantage -- it moves a lot quicker and is a lot more gripping than the first few books in the series.

From the adorable opening to the emotional epilogue, The Ruby Circle is a stunning feat both in convincing romance and in taut suspense. The best Bloodlines book, and one of Mead's overall best novels to date. I'll miss Sydney and Adrian!
