Blue Bloods (Blue Bloods #1)

This is the first book in a long series of rich vampires. It was a new take on it, with the blue bloods and silver bloods. But, it just didn't hold my attention.

I'm not sure what to make of this book. I liked it. It drew my attention and kept me reading for hours and hours. But Blue Bloods went downhill from the beginning.

It's a unique take on the popular vampire trend, and one I haven't read before. There were multiple plot lines throughout the book, and I think I will enjoy the rest of the series. It was a fast, quick-paced read, which I appreciated.

Even though I liked reading the first book in the Blue Bloods series, I feel Cruz could have done better.

I don't think there is a better word for this book than "fresh". It was
so refreshing reading about clothes and the fashion elite for a while.
I love Blue Bloods world. I would love to be a vampire like that! I
also love her writing. The fact that each chapter is extremely short
and shows a specific scene is so captivating. The chapters are so fast
read that you never seem to stop.

The characters are
interesting. I still don't know any of them very well, this is the
first book though. You seem to have the feeling that you suspect
everyone has secrets so it works with the plot. She could not have
ended the story any better. That was my favorite part-the last scene.

I
am not a big fan of the cover, I think it could have been so much
prettier or dark or mysterious but it does match the story. At any rate
I read the first chapter of the next book -it was at the end of my
book- and I am so desperate to start reading the next one that I will
stop writing this review NOW! Great Book!

The first novel in a series, we meet Schuyler Van Alen. She's an outcast, and sticks to her friend Oliver. After turning fifteen, she notices the veins in her body are becoming more prominent. She is told that she is a vampire, and something very dark is trying to kill them all. Schuylers relationship with the characters, such as Jack, seems rushed, but effective. Mimi is, typically, upset at the competition for his attentions, and Bliss has some secrets that she's even keeping from herself...A great first novel, and start to a series.

I was not too impressed with where this story led the reader. The characters were not exciting enough and the way the vampires were portrayed was too cynical and juvenile. I also was not captivated with the writing style but maybe it is because I was reading it at an older age and it did not relate to me. I recommend vampire reads like Twilight more so over this series.

I just finished reading the book "blue bloods", and it was wonderful, because it has a lot of suspense, and the author relates the story of diferrent characters of the book, so we can see each one of them's point of view. This book is about a girl "Schuyler" whose mom was in a coma, and she just founded out in her private school that she's one of the blue bloods, that she's an unvulnerable vampire, but she discovers that something stronger than them is coming back to haunt them and that he's probably disguising as one of them. Shuyler tries to discover what that creature is with the help of her best friend Oliver and one of the popular girls "Bliss".

now this book is no twilight, but good non the less. I like to read books with different discriptions of vampires and i like the ones in this book alot. The storyline is pretty good but if you really hate cliff hangers dont read this because the ending of this story is one of the biggest cliff hangers i have ever read in a book. what kept me reading wasnt the silver bloodpart of the story, but the wanting to know what was going to happen between jack and Schuyler.
