Loading... Blue Bloods (Blue Bloods, Book 1) (original 2009; edition 2007)by Melissa De La Cruz
Work detailsBlue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz (2009)
At times I was annoyed by all the throw away references to designer brands that got in the way of the characters. (I get it, you can be kooky and chic, move on.) But I thought the twist on classic vampire lore was interesting. Melissa de la Cruz in no Anne Rice but then I liked this better than Marked. (  ) akmargie | Apr 4, 2013 |  Okay, I'm not even going to front. This totally entertained me. Yes, YA novel about vampires, wah wah wah, buttttttt... Pure fluff. NYC society, wealthy bratty kids, uh, no joke, a smattering of history with a Roanoke backstory, and not the usual sparkle vampyre sob story. It's not Pulitzer prize winning stuff, but it hooked me enough to have me reserve the next book in the series from the library. A welcome reprieve from the 800 behemoths I've been plodding through recently. ( ) aelizabethj | Apr 1, 2013 | I really enjoyed this one. There are so many teen vampire books floating around the place lately, but this was certainly one of the best I've picked up. I wasn't very fond of Schuyler, though. She had no solid character- her personality seemed to change depending on what the situation needed. I thought she was cute and quirky up until it said she hadn't washed her hair in weeks, at which point it stops being quirky and quickly becomes plain disgusting. All in all, though, a very interesting take on vampires. (  ) nicola26 | Mar 30, 2013 | The world that is laid out in Blue Bloods is one that has promise, but this first book is nothing more than a history lesson (not very well taught, either) that introduces far too many characters (plus their countless pas incarnations). I rather got the impression that I would have to read the entire series in order to get close to any of the characters at all, and that's not something I really want to do. (  ) sixteendays | Feb 12, 2013 | I started reading this after reading the Twilight series. This series is nothing like Twilight though, except for the fact that it is about vampires and there is a love story that's central to the tale. In the Blue Bloods books, the vampires are really fallen angels who fought with Lucifer against God. As punishment for their betrayal, they are cast out of heaven and are forced to live on earth as vampires-- or blue blood-- forever. The story follows one unusual blue blood who falls in love with a boy at school. The only problem is he is sworn to his twin, who is not about to let her soul mate go. The book series follows the pair as they try to save their world and be together. ( ) Shanpav | Jan 29, 2013 | no reviews | add a review
