The mystery behind the Silver Bloods is finally solved. Many loose ends from the first two books are resolved, but the threat still remains following a dramatic twist of events that ends in discovery and tragedy. The mystery is not so much solved as revealed leaving plenty of room for the next books to work with.

Schuyler continues to develop thoughout the story. She is not a perfect person and faces many tough choices, sometimes she chooses correctly and sometimes not, making her very real. Oliver continues to be Schuyler's best friend and guides her the best he is able. He is one of the few characters that I cannot seem to relate to. He is too perfectly accomodating to Schuyler, doing whatever he can for her.

Many other young Blue Bloods come into their own, and we learn their histories and purposes in this life. Their personalities fill out and so much is revealed, I don't even know how to describe it. This is the book I enjoyed the most of the series so far, and I will be continuing the series soon.

4/5 ( )

Having read the other two books in the Blue Blood series, I was interested in seeing where this story would go - the 2nd story in the series covered a lot of ground and would be a hard act to follow! The author did a nice job of keeping the story alive and adding some new and exciting twists. That being said, this book fell prey to the 3rd book curse - it really felt like a middle book and was just used to get to the next book. There were a few too many loose ends that weren't explained and loose ends that weren't tied up.

De La Cruz has created a wonderful series with a very unique take on the entire vampire myth. Even though this series is marketed as a young adult novel, it will easily appeal to adults (of which I am one!). You don't have to watch 'Gossip Girl' or 'Vampire Diaries' to enjoy the Blue Blood series. I am anxiously awaiting the 4th book. ( )

Schuyler Van Alen is a half-vampire living in New York City.

Vampires, or Blue Bloods, are everywhere in the Big Apple. There's Bliss, Schuyler's new best friend and daughter of Senator Lewellyn. Then there's Dylan, Bliss' love interest who had disappeared a while back after a horrible accident that he was accused of causing, and who has just returned. And don't forget the Force twins -- Jack and Mimi.

Mimi, the extravagant and tenacious girl who will do whatever she can to get what she wants. And then there's Jack, who Schuyler has always had a crush on and who has finally returned those feelings to Schuyler. And don't forget Oliver, Schuyler's other best friend who's a Red Blood (human) who also happens to be madly in love with her.

If her love life weren't complicated enough, Schuyler has to deal with the fact that the Silver Bloods -- a group who works to kill all the Blue Bloods -- seems to be on the rise again after centuries of hiding. With her grandfather as the leader of the coven, it is up to him to try to uncover the many secrets and mysteries surrounding the Silver Bloods.

Melissa de la Cruz writes a very thrilling addition to the BLUE BLOODS novels. With lots of romantic drama and plot twists, REVELATIONS is sure to capture all readers. ( )

Revelations was altogether very surprising. It was a little slower than the first two and in my opinion not as good. I was not expecting all the twists and turns that just kept coming and coming. A lot of things I was wondering and information I wanted to know was revealed in this 3rd book. There was lots of romance and action which I liked. If the plot was a little faster (like the first two in the series), I would have liked it much more. I really love this series and can't wait til October for Van Alen Legacy! ( )

Third in the series, fans will enjoy learning who is behind the attacks on the blue bloods. Traitors are uncovered, but for those who were hoping for a happy ending, beware that De La Cruz has more stories to tell in this series before anyone is able to live happily forever after. CKL
