Summary From Goodreads:
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. She prefers baggy, vintage clothes instead of the Prada and pearls worn by her classmates, and she lives with her reclusive grandmother in a dilapated mansion. Schuyler is a loner...and happy that way. Suddenly, when she turns fifteen, there is a visible mosaic of blue veins on her arm. She starts to crave raw food and she is having flashbacks to ancient times. Then a popular girl from her school is found dead... drained of all her blood. Schuyler doesn't know what to think, but she wants to find out the secrets the Blue Bloods are keeping. But is she herself in danger?
Review:
I have read this book before but since I recently bought the fifth book in the series, I cannot for the life of me remember what has happened. I never did a review on this book series so here it is..
Blue bloods is the first book in the Blue Bloods Series. I really liked this book, in a way it kind of reminds me of The House of Night Series or even the Twilight series (maybe even better). The book has suspense, romance, and a little action. The main character Schuyler, I can relate to and maybe that is way I like reading this series. I also liked how Melissa De La Cruz put in letters from 1620 and just made that extra effort in picturing what the fear they had back then. All in all a reading fun, interesting read and i do recommend this to anyone who likes reading about vampires.
