Schuyler Van Alen is confused about what is happening to her. Her veins are starting to turn blue, and she's starting to crave raw meat. Soon, her world is thrust into an intricate maze of secret societies and bitter intrigue. Schuyler has never been a part of the trendy crowd at her prestigious New York private school. Now, all of a sudden, Jack Force, the most popular guy in school, is showing an interest in her. And when one of the popular girls is found dead, Schuyler and Jack are determined to get to the bottom of it.

Schuyler wants to find out the secrets of the mysterious Blue Bloods. But is she putting herself in danger?

I actually really liked this. I started reading it, and for some reason, this was one of those books that had me hooked by the end of the first chapter. Logically, it shouldn't have - the first chapter wasn't the best first chapter of all the books I've read. But I was intrigued. The plot line was fantastic, the characters intriguing, and though I got a bit lost for a minute with the Silver Blood-no, vampire-no, arch angel interaction in the last few chapters, I really enjoyed it.

Thankfully the next one is sitting on the counter, waiting for me...

Overall Rating: 9.7/10 decorated with blue blood spatters...
Blue Bloods or Twilight?: New York City or Forks, Washington? A girl who is suddenly popular to a girl who has to fight for what she believes in? The two books couldn't be more different - and they're both excellent.

Happy reading!
