YA
Sydney, whose taboo friendships with vampires cause her to question her anti-vampire Alchemist training, learns of a conspiracy high in the ranks. Meanwhile, a mentor asks for her help in stopping magical attacks--requiring Sydney to break more rules. Sydney's satisfying development from obedient follower in Bloodlines to the critically-thinking, action-oriented heroine seen here supports the supernatural romance series' arc.
