Revelations by Melissa De La Cruz

My Review:
This one was good. It gets more intense as the Blue Bloods uncover more disturbing news about the Silver Bloods and we find out just how much danger their race really is in. This one was crazy with Dylan coming back, Jack and Schuyler trying to meet together secretly behind everyone’s back, and Mimi being herself and creating chaos wherever she goes. All the while Schuyer is trying to gain control of her powers and realizes that because she is half human this makes using her powers even harder because it fights against her nature. I hate the way she treats Oliver who has always been there for her and will love her no matter what but I can not deny that she relationship with Jack is exciting and one I hope works out. This one left me thrown for a loop at the end and I am excited to see where the story will go next.

Masquerade by Melissa De La Cruz

My Review:
I enjoyed it. I know this is going to sound bad but I do not mean for it to be. This series in all honestly is not the most profound or earth shattering thing I have read and they are something akin to bad tasting beer that you know you should stop drinking but can’t. Therefore I can’t stop reading them and they continue to grow on me. This story was interesting with Schuyler finding her grandfather Lawrence and having him come back into the Blue Blood World. He helps her strengthen her vampire powers which she will need to defend herself against Silver Blood attacks. I have grown to care more about the characters as the series has gone on and I am invested in both Schuyler’s relationships with Oliver and Jack and almost can’t decide who she should be with, almost. It was easy, fast, and full of drama- Gossip Girl type guilty pleasure and I am ready for the next one.

Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz

My Review:
Its vampires meets Gossip Girl! I had heard this series was popular so I wanted to give it a shot, Plus I am a sucker for supernatural or paranormal stories plus the show Gossip Girl is a guilty pleasure for me so this sounded right up my alley. It was not anything other than what I expected it to be which was fun, fast, and entertaining. It’s a world that I do not know much about and it is clear the author has a vast knowledge of fashion and designer brands. The regeneration of the Blue Blood Vampires was an interesting aspect since the author was trying to imply that the characters had past lives dating from the Roanoke days. I was hoping to form more of an attachment to the characters and for a little more character development but that’s kinda hard when the book switches POV almost every chapter and over 4 different characters are trying to tell their story. But none the less I enjoyed it and just might go on to the next ones.
