Masquerade review

Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Review from goodreads.

Schuyler Van Alen wants an explanation for the mysterious deaths of young vampires. With her best friend, Oliver, Schuyler travels to Italy in the hope of finding the one man who can help—her grandfather. Meanwhile, back in New York, preparations are feverishly underway for the Four Hundred Ball, an exclusive gala hosted by the city's wealthy, powerful, and unhuman—a true Blue Blood affair.

But it's at the after-party, a masquerade ball thrown by the cunning Mimi Force, that the real danger lurks. Hidden behind the masks is a revelation that will forever change the course of a young vampire's destiny.

Rich with glamour, attitude, and vampire lore, this second installment in the Blue Bloods saga will leave readers thirsting for more.


My Review :

I liked the second installment in the Blue Bloods series even more than the first book.It started shortly after the first book ended.

To find the answers for the attack on Schuyler's grandmother - Cordelia,Schuyler herself and on other blue bloods by the sinister silver bloods,Schuyler, with her best friend + Conduit, Oliver, go to Italy to the find the man suggested by Cordelia ,the one who could help Schuyler kill the silver bloods - her grandfather.

I liked how Melissa De La Cruz continued the story in the second book, but I think that book one and two should have been combined together to form just one book. In the first book I didn't like that a lot of book's content went out in describing clothing and surrounding.But it was comparatively less in Masquerade.

In Masquerade,Schuyler also also learns how to use her full power which sometimes got quite exciting.The books takes a new turn when Schuyler is asked to make Oliver her familiar, by drinking his blood.

The consequences of that are shown in the third book - Revelations. I know that because I have already read the third installment.

The four hundredth ball, followed by the after party - a masquerade ball which goes on with some exciting turns and scenes and finishes with some mysteries unresolved and questions unanswered.

The book ended with a cliff - hanger which makes you want to know right at the moment when you read the last word, what happens next.This book is totally worth 4 stars.
