Learn The Language!!! June 9, 2008
All in all, not a bad read, certainly not the most captivating book ever written - all the descriptions of clothes labels go WAY over my head. My main problem with the series is the lack of research de la Cruz seems to put in - as a latin scholar myself, I can tell you most of the latin phrases she uses are in the wrong case, she uses verbs where nouns should be, and it gets VERY annoying. Also, the name given to a half-blood between a human and an angel is NEPHILIM. I'm sorry, but she's going to have to do better next time

Not what I thought it would be like .... June 4, 2008

I was very dissapointed with this book, thinking it was going to be less predictable, and less of a drag. In reality, it is dreary and slightly longwinded, and I did not like the main character s at all, as i did not think they were fully developed and all that interesting. I won't be reading the second one, that's for sure

Maybe it's just the fact that I feel too old to relate to this book (though i'm still in my teen). This novel just doesn't have much to offer. If you have ever read a story about girls in elite school, then one is just like the rest, no matter if the protagonist ends up being a vampire.

It's the invasion of the vampires!

Recently, the world of the undead has been sweeping its way into young adult novels, making sure that the vampires are prominently featured. Melissa de la Cruz, author of the popular series THE AU PAIRS, makes sure that she adds her own twist on vampires in her new series, BLUE BLOODS.

Schuyler Van Alen believed that she was just a normal teenager, living a normal life, and just didn't seem to fit in. Attending a private school isn't the world that Schuyler wanted to enter, what with all of the high fashion when she would rather wear her "unfashionable" clothes. But she never thought she would enter the world of the vampires, either.

When she turns 15, Schuyler discovers some major changes in herself, like the veins in her arms that are distinctly blue. And the blue veins can only mean that she is part of the Blue Bloods, a group of vampires whose ancestors go as far back as the Mayflower. Being a Blue Blood isn't so bad, right?

Well, when a murder takes place and a popular guy starts to notice you, Schuyler knows that there is something strange going on, and it's up to her to crack all of the society's secrets and to keep herself out of danger while doing it.

Melissa de la Cruz does not disappoint with BLUE BLOODS. The world that Ms. de la Cruz has created is not only unique but also very intriguing. Fans of the vampire world will definitely want to add this to their collection, and will be looking forward to MASQUERADE, the next novel in the series.
