Meanwhile, her best friend, Bliss Llewellyn, in is the Hamptons, where her body has been taken over by an unknown spirit she calls "The Visitor."

Mimi Force is flying around the world, looking for Bliss's sister, Jordan, who is actually The Watcher, an age-old Blue Blood who keeps a lookout for the fallen angel, Lucifer.

Old love brings Schuyler back to New York along with Mimi as Bliss fights to overcome her mysterious Visitor. But in the end, they must all come together to fight the Silver Bloods when they return with a vengeance.

I really enjoyed this installment of the BLUE BLOODS series. Seeing the characters mature and change along with their relationships was so satisfying. We also learn a lot about the history of the Blue Bloods and the Croatan betrayal, which all ties into real history, which was really interesting.

Overall, this was a great read, and I can't wait for the next one! ( )

I swear this series just gets better and better as it goes on. I went from thinking book 1 was just ok to loving this one and not being able to put it down. We were totally left hanging at the end of Revelations and this book picks up almost a year after the events down in Rio. The chapter’s point of views rotate between Bliss, Schuyler and Mimi which at first was a little jarring but you quickly find the rhythm. There is a lot of action going on as we now know who Bliss really is and begin to see what plans her father is hatching. Schuyler and Oliver are also on the run after the Conclave accuses Schuyler of killing her grandfather. We find out a lot more information in this book about who people really are and the parts they played in the past. We also seem to get some sort of resolution in the Schuyler-Oliver-Jack love triangle. And no I will not say what happens. You should run out and buy the book to find out. The one small negative I had was on the Bliss-Mimi relationship. We don’t see them interact much yet we hear Bliss often referring to how flighty and superficial Mimi has been acting recently. Yet when we see her point of view and Mimi’s point of view I didn’t see what she was talking about. I was even surprised to find myself actually starting to like Mimi in this one. Still a wonderful book and I cannot wait for the next one! ( )

With the stunning revelation surrounding Bliss's tru identity comes the growing threat of the sinister silver bloods. Once left to live the glamorous life in New York City, the blu 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? Schuyler has made her choice. She has forsaken Jack for Oliver, choosing human over vampire. But old loves die hard....and even coldhearted Mimi seems to suffer from the ties that bind. ( )

As the 4th book in the 'Blue Blood' series, the "Van Alen Legacy" is the latest installment and does a great job of continuing the strong story telling. The author has created a wonderful and imaginative world of vampires and her take on what has become an oversold genre, is refreshing. This story answers some open questions from the first three books and opens up a new plot line for future books. I can't wait to see where it takes us and the characters. Don't dismiss these books as 'just another teenage vampire story' - they're creative, historical and fun.

I am anxiously looking forward to the 5th story. The author can't write it fast enough for me! ( )
