Title: The Golden Lily (Bloodlines #2) (Click for Goodreads)
Author: Richelle Mead
Expected Publication: June 12, 2012
Summary from Goodreads: The second thrilling installment in Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy spinoff series
Tough, brainy alchemist Sydney Sage and doe-eyed Moroi princess Jill Dragomir are in hiding at a human boarding school in the sunny, glamorous world of Palm Springs, California. The students–children of the wealthy and powerful–carry on with their lives in blissful ignorance, while Sydney, Jill, Eddie, and Adrian must do everything in their power to keep their secret safe. But with forbidden romances, unexpected spirit bonds, and the threat of Strigoi moving ever closer, hiding the truth is harder than anyone thought.
Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Richelle Mead’s breathtaking Bloodlines series explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive. In this second book, the drama is hotter, the romances are steamier, and the stakes are even higher.
Why I’m Waiting: GUYS. I have NO WORDS to describe how much I LOVE the Vampire Academy series. In all honesty, when Bloodlines first came out, I was wary of it. My LOVELOVELOVES were Rose and Dimitri, and how could Sydney and Adrian even touch that? Well, it won me over, that’s for sure. Now I just want Sydney and Adrian to be a thing SO MUCH. Plus, it’s Richelle Mead. Rose was the perfect snarky narrator, but Adrian is almost as bad, so let the snark humor ensue! I CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on this.

THERE IS NO MORE DESERVING BOOK TO WAIT ON. I’ve been craving this book ever since before I even finished Bloodlines, and you can’t imagine how excited I am that the release date is finally nearing! (Actually, I think you might be one of the few people who can because you sound just as excited as I am LOL!!) I’m just a total Team Adrian girl!! :’)
Amazing pick for your WOW this week, Gretchen! I just know that this one is going to be amazing!

Love VA to pieces and I am a huge Bloodlines fangirl. I lovee Adrian & Sydney. And I love how cute they are and how different they are from Rose/Dimitri dynamic. It’s a testament to how versatile of a writer Richelle Mead is. Her writing is just pure awesome.
I can’t wait for this book. I have been seeing several posts, some with quotes from this book (from those who have read the arc already) and it has been torture, haha.
Here is one of them (have to share xD) :
