Cover Reveal: The Fiery Heart

Bookish has now revealed the cover of The Fiery Heart, book 4 in the Bloodlines series, by Richelle Mead!

From Bookish: The "Bloodlines" series centers around Sydney, an Alchemist whose most important job is to keep vampires a secret from the rest of the world. Without giving away spoilers, we can tell you that the book centers on Sydney dealing with the consequences of the life-altering choice she makes in "The Indigo Spell." Plus, readers can expect threats from folks who misuse magic, Vampire Hunters and Strigoi (a.k.a vampire baddies).

Did you know the synopsis is already out too? Read it HERE! So, what do you all think of the fiery cover? I love the colors and the flowers! Sydney is definitely looking tough there. Adrian looks like he had a haircut and looks a bit older than I imagined. But ah! I'm so glad they're on the cover together since the book will be from their POVs. Cannot wait to read this book!

Synopsis: The Fiery Heart

Amazon has The Fiery Heart up for pre-order and the book's description is up as well! Read here:

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 thrilling fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling Bloodlines series, where no secret is safe.

Ooh! I don't think it reveals much. But I am wondering why Adrian isn't mentioned, considering the book will include his POV. Another interesting tidbit is that the page count is set for 416 pages, which seems to be around the same length as the previous three books. The Fiery Heart is due out November 19, 2013, and you can pre-order it on Amazon or wherever books are sold. Be sure to come back on Wednesday because I will be posting the cover reveal of The Fiery Heart!

Richelle Mead's January 24 Twitter Chat

Last week on January 17, Richelle Mead had a Twitter chat for 30 minutes via #readpenguin where she answered questions tweeted to her by fans. The focus was on world-building (although, you really could ask whatever you wanted). The entire chat can be found here.

Yesterday, she had another Twitter chat, and this time the theme was romance! I'm not going to compile all the tweets (you can read the transcript here), but I will post the ones relating to Bloodlines and Sydney/Adrian. Two of my questions were answered, so that was pretty exciting. I made sure to bold those. ;)

Oh and before I forget, Richelle Mead will be having yet another Twitter chat next week! On Thursday, January 31 at 8PM EST. It will have a general Bloodlines theme. Looking forward to that. Hopefully I can think of some good questions by then.

Now on to the tweets!

Bloodlines news you might have missed from November to January

It's been awhile! I never meant for this blog to be quiet for this long. Sorry about that. I'm going to try harder to keep this as active as possible from now on. (I guess that could be my New Year's resolution.) I feel like lots has happened since the last time I updated, so I will post everything major I can remember.

The title of Bloodlines book 4 is... The Fiery Heart! Richelle Mead revealed it on November 12. That was like best day ever. Because not only did she reveal the title, but she also revealed something amazing about the book. I can't even... Okay, just read what she said:

"This'll make a lot more sense when you read Indigo, which I'm starting to get super impatient for. Come on, February! Lots of big things happen in Indigo, and you romance fans are going to pass out. You know what also might make you pass out? This:

The Fiery Heart is going to be told from both Sydney and Adrian's points of view. That's right. If you've ever wanted to get inside the crazy world of Adrian Ivashkov's head, this is it. It'll still be in first person, but the POV will alternate chapters. I'm so excited about this, it's not even funny. Well, actually...since it's Adrian, it'll be hilarious. I think you guys'll love it..." (source)

Don't tell me you didn't want to pass out when you read that. Sydney's AND Adrian's POVs?! That's a dream come true! I cannot freaking wait! I think I want it more than The Indigo Spell! haha The Fiery Heart is most likely going to be released Fall 2013. Yep, that's right. We're going to get two Bloodlines/Sydrian books in one year! Best year ever!
