Reader reviewed by cosmicdustbella

Within New York Citys most elite families, there lurks a secret society of celebrated Americans whose ancestors sailed on the Mayflower. They are the powerful and the wealthyand in fact, they are not human. They are the Blue Bloods, an ancient group of vampires.

Schuyler Van Alen has never fit in at Duchesne, her prestigious New York City private school. She prefers baggy, vintage clothes instead of the Prada and pearls worn by her classmates, and she lives with her reclusive grandmother in a dilapidated mansion. Schuyler is a lonerand happy that way.

But when she turns fifteen, Schuylers life changes dramatically. She has a mosaic of blue veins on her arms, and craves raw meat. The death of a popular girl from Duchesne is surrounded by a mystery that haunts her. And strangest off all, Jack Force, the most popular boy in school, is showing a sudden interest in her.

Schuyler wants to find out the secrets the Blue Bloods are keeping. But is she herself in danger?

Melissa De La Cruz's novel is filled to the brim with vampire lore, excitement, and suspence. The glittery characters and a mysterious plot line will draw the reader into the story, not allowing them to escape its page turning electricity until the end, and even then you will be reading on to the next book in the triligy.
