Blue Bloods review

Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I was atounded by how unique the plot was. After Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga, many authors are bringing up stories of vampires and bloodsucking and whatnots. I am not saying that other books don't have the bloodsucking - it is the most vital thing, kind of like a signature of vampires.This book's plot goes on towards heaven and angels and all sorts of that.In most books the majority thinking and background of the vampires are based on this - vampires are the evil creatures of the night, etc, etc.

However, in this series vampires are the angels that fought alongside Lucifer. They were banished to the earth to live off of human blood as their punishment.Their live cycles are usually about 100 years, and then they get reborn into a new body. The blue blood that they carry gives them their name and distinction.

The book is not written in perticularly any one person's point of view. The vampires in this series are said to be indistructible but the real truth id hidden from many of them. The blue bloods can be killed by the silver bloods - vampires who drink other vampires' blood and take thir life force - thire soul away from them.Schuyler Van Alen is the only person - a half blood who can find out how to kill the silver bloods.this search will take her from NY to Venice.

the next book will move the story forward - a cliffhanger, which will only come out after reading the second book in the series - Masquerade.

The plot was great, I even liked the book but I did not feel the spark that makes me want to keep on reading the book till the end and never stop.
