Synopsis:
Schuyler Van Alen has never fit in at Duchesne, her prestigious New York City private school. She prefers baggy, vintage clothes instead of the Prada and pearls worn by her classmates. But when she turns fifteen, Schuyler’s life changes dramatically. The death of a popular schoolmate haunts her in unexpected ways. And strangest off all, Jack Force, the most popular boy in school, is showing a sudden interest in her.
Once an outcast, Schuyler is thrust into Manhattan’s most exclusive social circle. Its members are the powerful, the wealthy, and – as Schuyler soon discovers – the unhuman.
They are Blue Bloods, an ancient group of vampires, and for centuries they’ve been invincible. Now something is preying on this elite group, and Schuyler wants to find out the truth. But is she the most vulnerable of them all?
Review:
correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the debut vampire book from Melissa De La Cruz? For something she's never tried to publish before, this was a pretty good start. It's a crossover between fabulous lives of the rich and famous, as well a complex, but unique concept of modern vampires. The contents are indeed written for teen readers, with a little bit of contents quite inappropriate for those who still pass as 'too young'-if there's still any, anyway.
I had to agree to most readers who've testified about not getting into the book until some pages from the mid-parts started. Well, with such a huge set of well-written characters and fully-researched mythologies, it's impressive. As you get through the introduction stage of this book, the rest flows swiftly and steadily. Whatever's the stuck up on the first few pages, it's still worth going through.
