Doch damit fängt der Ärger erst richtig an …Falsche Versprechen ist der erste Teil der Blood-Lines-Reihe.AUTORENPORTRÄTRichelle Mead wurde 1976 in Michigan geboren und lebt heute als freie Schriftstellerin in Kirkland. Mead studierte Kunst und Religion, und Mythologisches und Geheimnisvolles hatte sie immer fasziniert. Sie schreibt zurzeit zwei fortlaufende Buchreihen: die Bloodlines- und die Age of X-Reihe.REZENSION"Bloodlines - Falsche Versprechen von Richelle Mead Die „Vampire Academy"-Reihe ist eine meiner absoluten Lieblingsreihen." - Buechereulenparadies, Lovelybooks.de"Ich hatte ja ziemlich hohe Erwartungen an Bloodlines – immerhin ist das der Nachfolger der Vampire Academy Reihe, die genau so war, wie High School Vampirbücher sein sollten. Vielleicht sogar etwas besser ;-)." - Librimania, Lovelybooks.de"Endlich gibt es etwas Neues aus der Welt von "Vampire Academy". "Bloodlines" gegenüber war ich zunächst skeptisch, da ich mir nicht sicher war, ob die Reihe ohne Rose mit "Vampire Academy" mithalten kann. Meine Sorgen waren jedoch vollkommen unnötig, denn "Bloodlines" reicht definitiv an das Niveau von VA heran und hat mir einfach richtig, richtig gut gefallen!" - Wonder_, Lovelybooks.de
