1. Bloodlines av Richelle Mead
23 Augusti 2011
Det finns ingen beskrivning på den boken än, för den är inte färdigskriven.Så jag skriver lite om den själv, på svenska då alltså.
Detta är en spin-off-serie på Vampire Academy.
Det är från Sydneys perspektiv denna gång, den tar ifrån vart Last sacrifice slutade.
Vi kommer få reda på vad Abe utpressar henne på, och så.
Ja, jag vet inte själv riktigt, därför ska det bli kul att läsa den!
