I'm going to begin by saying I LOVE THIS SERIES! It just keeps getting better and better. Kendra, I believe, has developed a story and a character that is so admirable and completely addictive. Matt Archer is quickly turning into my new Harry Potter.With each book, Matt faces horrors beyond his 17 years. However, he knows he has a duty and he will fulfill it or die. Kendra has written such depth in his character. He faces pain, guilt, and loss with such courage; it breaks your heart. He is an amazing hero!Bloodlines, as you may guess, deal with family bonds. The last book left us meeting Matt's father for the first time. Matt spends a lot of time dealing with that new relationship. Also, it becomes apparent how important family history is to a knife wielder. Both Will and Matt will need to discover their family roots in order to grow stronger as a wielder. I really enjoyed this aspect of the storyline. Family blood is powerful and needs to be embraced and accepted.Erik Archer, Matt's father, is still a complete mystery. He has many secrets about who and what he is. He is a total paradox. It will be interesting about the next book resolves his character and his relationship with Matt.Another wonderful aspect of Kendra's storyline is her handling of Matt and Ella's relationship. It has turned into something that is very close and mature. I love that Kendra's writes in a way that is serious and not gratuitous in any way. I will say some of the guy trash talk is pretty humorous!And last, Mamie ROCKS!! She has turned into a spectacular character. I won't say anymore; BUT Kendra takes Mamie to a whole new level.As you can tell, I LOVED this book. It will be very difficult waiting for the final installment which will be released sometime this summer. However, it will give YOU plenty time to catch up with Matt and get ready for his final battle.
