Which one should I read?

The Van Alen Legacy by Melissa de la Cruz

With the stunning revelation surrounding Bliss's true identity comes the growing threat of the sinister Silver Bloods. Once left to live the glamorous life in New York City, the Blue Bloods now find themselves in an epic battle for survival. Not to worry, love is still in the air for the young vampires of the Upper East Side. Or is it? Jack and Schuyler are over. Oliver's brokenhearted. And only the cunning Mimi seems to be happily engaged.


I found this book, okay by standards. The first book, of course, was amazing, and I found Revelations, the third book, equally so. Although, I really enjoyed Mimi's story in this book. Bliss' was an interesting perception. Schuyler... not so much.


It was kinda cool to see Allegra wake up in this book. But it was a pretty slow-going reunion, so I was pretty bored for the most part. I was like, okay, I don't get this whole mother-daughter bonding connection thingy, so I skipped ahead. I think this and the end were the only two parts where she appeared. 


I don't like Jack. I really don't. I don't know, normally, the guy in the story would appeal to moi, but this time NO. I really like Oliver though. and Kingsley Martin :D. I can't see WHY Mimi wants to bond with him so bad, he's not that good a character. Sure he saves her life loads of times, but he doesn't reach out to me, like other book characters (esp. from Meg Cabot's books ;D).


Well, other than that, it was good to see new things revealed, new secrets found out and DYLAN RETURNS! YAY! another guy character I like.


I'm still team Kingsley though.

Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz

Within New York City’s most elite families, there lurks a secret society of celebrated Americans whose ancestors sailed on the Mayflower. They are the powerful and the wealthy—and in fact, they are not human. They are the Blue Bloods, an ancient group of vampires.

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, and she lives with her reclusive grandmother in a dilapidated mansion. Schuyler is a loner—and happy that way.

But when she turns fifteen, Schuyler’s life changes dramatically. She has a mosaic of blue veins on her arms, and craves raw meat. The death of a popular girl from Duchesne is surrounded by a mystery that haunts her. And strangest off all, Jack Force, the most popular boy in school, is showing a sudden interest in her.

Schuyler wants to find out the secrets the Blue Bloods are keeping. But is she herself in danger?

Steeped in vampire lore and set against the glittery backdrop of New York City, Blue Bloods will be devoured by fans of Melissa de la Cruz.

I found this book gripping. It was mesmerizing, it captured me at once. It's a fantastic read, filled with romance and blood. Mostly blood.

I like how Melissa de la Cruz changed the "way" of normal vampires. It clashes mythology with history into our modern day world. The Characters were well created, and maybe that's why it was so grippy to me. It was an amazing read.

After I finished this book, I IMMEDIATELY had to go and read the next one. It was that fantastic. It's maybe also because many girls can relate to Schulyer's life. Being a loner and then suddenly accepted into something big is a hard and different change, and de la Cruz captures it and makes it something more. Fantastic, Bloody and just plain Amazing.

Couple o' New Books!
