Product Description:
Schuyler Van Alen is a freshman at the prestigious Duchesne School. A loner by nature, she finds her life thrown into turmoil when she turns 15. Suddenly she is allergic to the sun, craves raw food, and if she cuts herself, her blood is blue. Schuyler has no idea what is happening to her. As more and more curious things happen, Schuyler must confront her family and friends to discover the truth behind her blue blood. But there are bigger problems soon to be faced. When a girl in school is found dead, with mysterious bite marks on her neck, Schuyler is more confused than ever about her heritage…and her destiny.

- helped me cope..
The only reason I even picked up this book was to help me cope with the end of the Twilight saga..I was't expecting to become ginuinely interested in this series. Howvere, this book was pretty awesome. It wasn't a passionate love story like Twilight, but it was really cool nonetheless..and had a very interesting historical aspect tht was not in Twilight. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read Masquerade!

- a bit anemic
Schuyler Van Alen has never fit in with her rich, snotty classmates and is happy being an outcast. Everything changes when she starts craving raw meat, having mysterious flashbacks and realizes that she has more in common with the popular crowd than she ever would have guessed. Schuyler is a vampire, just like many other "blue bloods" that live in New York City and pretend to be human. The vampire world that is created in this book is interesting, from their retractable fangs to the connection to the lost colony of Roanoke.

Blue Bloods reminded me of the Gossip Girl books, but with the main characters pausing to suck blood in between their manicures and fabulous parties. There is a lot of brand name dropping and descriptions of people's outfits sprinkled throughout the book. ... Read More

- Not as great as it could have been.
Okay, when I can stop reading a page and complain about the mechanics of a book, it should be a "first draft" not a finished book.

This book didn't get interesting until the last two or three chapters, and the predictability of it was staggering. I'll read "masquerade" but only because I'd already bought it when I got this book, and I never leave a book I own unread. BUT here's hoping that book 2 is halfway decent... perhaps book 1 should simply have been longer... because the ending sounds more like the end of a chapter in the middle of a book than the transition to a new book in the series. *sigh* like the perfect point for a commercial in a tv show, but not an adequate cliff-hanger for its end.

- Eh....
So the thing is, I was pretty bored through most of this book. The history part kind of threw me I also wasn't that crazy about the fact that vamps are reincarnated souls. Honestly it didn't do a whole lot for me and took me a lot longer to get through than most books. I plan to read the second one with hopes of it being better. The other thing that frustrated me a great deal was every other page we were hearing about what the characters were wearing (in great detail), it seemed like overkill. However, I do love vampires so I can't give it an entirely bad rating.

Rating:

- Best part was the Synopsis
I read the plot of the book and thought it sounded entertaining. The writing is horrid, there's no flow, the story never actually progresses.... It is the worst "writing" I have ever read. The only reason I finished reading it was because it was so short and I bought the book. Don't waste your time, this wont entertain you in the least.
