Product Description
When the Mayflower set sail in 1620, it carried on board the men and women who would shape America: Miles Standish; John Alden; Constance Hopkins. But some among the Pilgrims were not pure of heart; they were not escaping religious persecution. Indeed, they were not even human. They were vampires.The vampires assimilated quickly into the New World. Rising to levels of enormous power, wealth, and influence, they were the celebrated blue bloods of American society. The Blue Bloods vowed that their immortal status would remain a closely guarded secret. And they kept that secret for centuries. But now, in New York City, the secret is seeping out. Schuyler Van Alen is a sophomore at a prestigious private school. Suddenly, when she turns fifteen, there is a visible mosaic of blue veins on her arm. She starts to crave raw foodand she is having flashbacks to ancient times. Then a girl from her school is found dead . . . drained of all her blood. Schuyler doesnt know what to think. Could those vampire legends really be true?Steeped in vampire lore and set against the heady backdrop of the rich, young, and powerful in the heart of New York City, Blue Bloods will be devoured by Melissa de la Cruzs legion fans.

 It's no Twilight October 30, 2008

Being a huge fan of the Twilight series, I wasn't sure I would like this book. It's an okay read. The only redeeming quality is the presence of Schuyler. If it wasn't for her character I wouldn't have been able to stand all the high society snootiness and the superficial teens who consume mass quantities of designer clothing. It was an interesting read, overall. I didn't feel like it was a complete waste of time.
 Great for a quick read and the series ROCKS! October 30, 2008

After seeing this book only received 3 1/2 stars, I decided not to buy it. My friend later recommeded the book. I loved it! I read it in an afternoon. I don't know what some of these 1 & 2 stars were for...? I thought it was a great read!
Spoiled Rotten Vampire Teenagers October 15, 2008

Devoured it in a single setting. Blue Bloods is the lovechild of the Twilight series and the Gossip Girl books, but is far superior to either one of them. Set in Manhattan among society's elite, Blue Bloods tells the story of fallen angels, vampires, and a secret history.
Considering the glut of books about vampires and privileged teens, Blue Bloods managed to stand out while still being just a good young adult book. It's not a literary masterpiece, but it's solid.
Very different Vampire Book October 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I liked this book, it took me awhile to get into the book, but once I did I enjoyed the book. I think it might be a little bit confusing for young teens to read. When you find out how the Vampires come back year after year. It took me by surprise. Very weird and confusing, but it is different and when you read as many vampires books as I do a little different is good. Can't wait for the 2nd books.
 It was alright October 9, 2008

Being and avid Twilight series fan i was very unsure of this book. I was disappointed and impressed at the same time. I was extremely impressed by the writing style. It was fluid and very well thought out, so in that regard it was a very good book. But for this being a book about vampires, there are just not enough vampires in it. For the first 100 pages or so the idea of vampires is simply mentioned and not explored. So, if you are a Twilight fan like myself, you will not only be disappointed in not reading about the vampires, but also be very disappointed in tn the way that the vampires that we have come to learn and love are not portrayed the same way. Also I thought it had a very weird story line.
