Another YA series bites the dust...

I was never too much into "Blue Bloods" series, but at least first two books were easy to read. This third one took a lot of effort to finish. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that the only thing I was attracted to in Cruz's books was the vampire lore. If in the beginning the lore seemed fresh and original to me, I am now fairly certain Cruz makes stuff up as she goes, without big picture of her world in mind, and this is why I am More...

Okay, I just have to say that I was really bugged to find out that this is NOT the last book in the Blue Bloods series! Apparently there are 9 books planned in total that was supposed to have been divided into 3 triologies. But this first "triology" is actually going to have 4 books. The next one (and hopefully the end of this particular story) is called "The Van Alen Legacy" and who knows when it's going to be released. Grrrr.

Okay, rant over. Aside from that More...

This book was utterly confusing to me. Sometimes i didn't even know how or why someone was doing something. I loved the first two in the series which i was suggested to read by my cousin. It felt like gossip girl met vampires and I was slightly put down over various facts about how things were written which is a horrid side-effect after reading Twilight because you get that notion that all vampire books are like that, eek. I know. During the time i spent reading this book i grew more and more fr More...

True love is meant to be, but not if your brother is falling in love with a newborn. Blue Bloods: Revelations is by Melissa De La Cruz. Schuyler has moved in with her uncle, Charles Force and her “cousins” Jack and Mimi. The only problem with that is Mimi is Sky’s enemy and Sky has fallen for Jack and he returns to feelings. However, Mimi and Jack are suppose to be together and Mimi is trying her best to persuade Sky to stop, but Sky and Jack won’t listen to her at all. Meanwhile, Bliss has fina More...

review by Jules

*Warning: possible spoilers ahead.*

After finishing up Masquerade, the second book in the Blue Bloods series, I was anxious to get my hands on the next book, Revelations. Fortunately I didn’t have to wait long to sink my teeth into it.

In my opinion, the books have been very progressive, with each one there’s more suspense, more intrigue and even more romance. Who? What? When? Where? Why? Well, you’re just going to have to read the series your More...

The first few chapters of this one were strange. I almost forgot what series I was reading for a minute. Once I got over that little speedbump, the rest of the book was a lot of fun, especially the end battle scene. I knew what was coming with Bliss, but still managed to find a few things that surprised me, which is always a bonus.

Two (minor) complaints about the book :

1. It felt short. I was able to read it in less than an hour and a half, with only a tiny bit of skimming. More...

I think the story here is getting a little convoluted. Maybe because it's had been a while between reading the second and third, but I thought the relationship with Jack was odd. They weren't at the point of having secret apartments to meet in from what I remember of the last one.

And while this book did focus a lot on Bliss, the character of interest for me in the last one, I thought the revelation about her was not well set up. I could see the few places where hints were kind of set More...

This book was ok. I will definitely read the next one because I have to find out what happens. This book had a twist at the end that I really didn't expect. Unfortuantely, the twist could have been more detailed and therefore it felt like the ending was abrupt. All in all, the story line is interesting enough to keep me reading but I wish she would develop it a little more. The story itself is way more interesting than the brands they wear, and I think if she focused more on the story and less o More...

Decisamente il migliore della saga. Purtroppo hanno spezzato il terzo libro della saga in due e quindi saremo costretti ad attendere, non si sa ancora quanti mesi, per leggere il capitolo conclusivo.

Questo capitolo è composto da un colpo di scena dietro l'altro. Risciamo finalmente ad inquadrare meglio la stessa Sly, Oliver con il suo fiero romanticismo, Mimi con la sua freddezza pronta a tutto pur di tenersi il suo Jack e, sì, Jack che finalmente si mostra per quello che findamentalmente è: for More...

Inizio subito affermando che questo è senza dubbio il romanzo migliore fra i tre.
Melissa de la Cruz è riuscita ad amalgamare in un unico volume amore, passione, vendetta, rabbia, coraggio, forza, debolezza, delusione, allegria, tristezza, nostalgia… insomma, leggendo “Rivelazioni” ho provato un mix di sensazioni che mai mi sarei aspettata.
La trama è sempre più complessa e a tratti anche complicata, questo fa di Blue Blood una serie non soltanto per giovani adulti, bensì per ragazzi di tutte le e More...

For those who don't know, the Blue Bloods series is essentially gossip girl meets twilight; Vampires (the Blue Bloods) pretty much compose all of the artistocracy in the world. Their souls are continually stored (through their blood) to be reincarnated life after life. Vampires are descended from the great battle for heaven and on earth serve to keep the balance between the light and the dark- especially those Blue Bloods who are corrupted to the side of the fallen Lucifer. All the while being s More...

The enticing horrific romantic novel I chose to read for my book report was Revelations, written by Melissa De La Cruz. I chose this book because the back cover story was intriguing. Also, I enjoy reading books about teenagers, because it gives the appeal of having a different life. This novel is set in modern day New York. The characters consist of the wealthiest people in New York. However, they are not people entirely, they are Blue Bloods. This means that they are part of a secret soci More...

Schuyler Van Alen is a half-vampire living in New York City.

Vampires, or Blue Bloods, are everywhere in the Big Apple. There's Bliss, Schuyler's new best friend and daughter of Senator Lewellyn. Then there's Dylan, Bliss' love interest who had disappeared a while back after a horrible accident that he was accused of causing, and who has just returned. And don't forget the Force twins -- Jack and Mimi.

After the last Blue Blood book, Masquerade, I was a little disappointed in Jack (who is supposed to be the kind, extremely hot hero) so it took me a while to pick up this book. I wanted to read a paranormal book in honor of the upcoming holiday and I needed a little vampire fix.

This novel had some twists and turns that that left shocked and confused all at once. One of my pet peeves about books it being lost or confused when reading. I consider myself a smart girl so when I don't More...

This is the third book in the Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz. I thought this one was the best of the series;

In this book things are coming to a head. The Silver Bloods are evidently somehow infiltrated into some of the prestigious Blue Bloods families but no one knows who or where. With Lawrence running the council things are changing at Duchesne school. The students are now learning more about how to defend themselves. Things are getting worse for Bliss; who instead of just More...

This series is enjoyable but it doesn't quite make the cut when compared to other series in the genre. By book 3 the reader should be well invested in the characters and i think i should be drawn to at least one of the leading men.... but sadly i am not. If there was a little less fashion focus and socialite snobbery and a little more character development I would feel totally different about these books.
Although I understand that the elite rich kid aspect is a huge part of the story, i d More...

Yesterday, curious, I visited Melissa de la Cruz's website. I wanted to know when her next Blue Bloods novel would be published (December 28th - Bloody Valentine for those who are curious), I wanted to know if there were any plans to turn the books into some sort of production, either movie or television, and I wanted to see if how many books she had planned for the series (unknown at this point). In my browsing, I discovered that Cruz has outlined the novels so that, with every three books, the More...

Revelations by Melissa de la Cruz (pp. 256)

The 3rd offering in the Blue Bloods series takes the elite, multi-generational vampire families into further political battles between the Silver Bloods and the Blue Bloods. Cruz does a great job adding myth and history to the story of the fallen angels and . The writing is solid and clear – for the intended audience and not overly saccrine for adult audiences. Some moments are surprisingly mature without being out of character.

The third book in the Blue Bloods series, Schuyler must now face one of the most difficult things ever. That is her relationship with Jack. Also, the bond between Mimi and Jack. They are planning to get bonded, in blue blood terms, but in regular, everyday terms, that means to get married. Schuyler doesn’t know if she can see this happen, and Jack says that there is something he can do to prevent this from happening. Schuyler gets excited that there might be a way to stop the bond, but that is u More...

You should see my review on the first two books in the series, Blue Bloods and Masquerade, to fully understand why this was the last book I could read in the series.

Revelations takes some daring turns with plot and expectations, but the structure of the storyline pulls it down. I still enjoy the clips from the past and the views into characters heads, but the poor timing of the shifts and the intentional and/or unintentional inconsistencies became too much. It is almost as though More...
