Book Review: Blue Bloods

This amazing book by Melissa De La Cruz is about a young Schuyler Van Alen, a blue blood, or as humans know them, a VAMPIRE! She doesn't know this though, until she turns 15, and things start getting kind of strange. First of all, she's getting blue marks on her arms, just like veins, but dark blue, and itchy. She's not the only one, though. All around her school, Duchesne, a rich New Yorker academy, students right around her age are starting to go through this change.


But that's not the only thing. A few of the older students who already know that they are vampires are being killed off. And as many people already know, vampires are supposed to be immortal. As Schuyler soon finds out, the world is not perfect for the young vampires in their sunset years, which are their weakest. With a lot of research in the library that the Blue bloods and their helpers made, she and her conduit, or helper and best friend in life Oliver and new friend Bliss, they learn that silver bloods, blue bloods who sucked the blood of others of their kind are now hunting them down. 


One of their close friends, Dylan, has been infected and corrupted by these creatures, and has continually attacked Schuyler in the streets. At first, they all think that this silver-eyed, red-pupil, shadowy creature is Jack and Mimi Force's father, but are proved wrong, and find out that he is actually the purest of them all. 


Mimi, the daughter of the accused Mr. Force is friends with Bliss, and and hates every part of Schuyler. Here's the reason: Her brother has fallen in love with Schyuler, believing she is her mother, the woman he has searched for through out his many past lives. You see, Mimi and Jack are meant to be. It doesn't matter that they're twins, that's the vampire way of things. Jack, who had agreed to help Schuyler now realizes that she is not her mom, and leaves her heart broken. 


Schuyler and her friends don't need Jack, though, they figure out that the silver blood is Dylan, and that there's many more silver bloods. But, Schyuler's grandfather knows how to get rid of silver bloods. Only one problem, no one knows where he's at. So, of course, Schuyler and Oliver decide to go too Venice and tfry to find him there, hoping that he'll know what to do now that Scuyler's only living relative has died, and her mother is still in coma. And that's where the story ends. A really good story, but it could use an ending. 
I highly recommend it if you're a fan of fantasy novels and vampires. :P
