This book its okay I like how the authors knowledge of archangels and all. But I am starting to hate the main character maybe because she seems so I dont know mean to oliver if thats the name of her friend that has a big crush on her... for some reason I am prone to love the second guy that mostly main women/girls characters of stories have...

Oh, these wacky books. There are too many characters, I can never remember what happened in the book prior, and they are utterly ridiculous yet I tear through them. In this edition: Mimi plans her bonding to Jack, Schuyler and Jack have secret rendezvouses, Bliss models for a Ralph Lauren homage, and everyone's allegiances are very very mysterious until a big ol' battle.

You know how by the third book, series stop being good? That isn't happening!

I keep liking these books more than I expect I will. I really wasn't thinking that I was going to like these in fact I only picked the first one up so that I would have a book that has a color in the title for my reading challenge but as it turns out I can't seem to stop reading them.

This book was CRAZY!!! I felt like it was just exploding with information, action, and romance. It was AWESOME!!!

March 2018 was audio re-read

Well, this was more interesting than the previous one hence the four stars. Things are starting to make a little bit more sense.

After Schuyler saved Mimi Force in Italy, it was almost as if nothing had happened. Mimi still despised her and Jack was ignoring her, but she was now forced to live with them. But nothing is what it seems and she and Jack meet secretly to share this impossible love they have, while Oliver, Schuyler’s best friend and newly-made familiar, is left out of the loop.

Life as the Blue Bloods knows it is now at stake with the dreaded return of the Silver Bloods and it’s hard to tell friends from foes.

I have to tell you right off the bat that I have a hot and cold relation with this series. First and foremost, what I don’t like about this series is the whole high-class snobbism and rich child attitude of the characters. Big hotels, designer clothes, hundreds of dollars meals, while it may appeal to some readers, it just doesn’t work for me.

Also I feel like the plot is stalling most of the book, characters spend their time doing elitist stuff and we all know someone is a traitor but no one does anything about it. De la Cruz don’t give many clues either so I kind of feel like a dog running after it’s tail.

Now you gonna tell me, but why do you keep reading this series if you don’t like it? Well first I like the lore. Blue Bloods vs Silver Bloods. I like how vampires are angels cast away from heaven and their original immortality. Reincarnation cycle after cycle and memories coming back at teenage hood, I love the whole concept!

Also, because the end is always good! No matter how unengaged in the story I feel most of the book, the end is always great. Curiosity gets the best out of me and I want to read the next one!


Now that I am done babbling, let’s talk about the book itself.

Schuyler is stuck between a rock and a hard place. She lives with the Forces and love Jack even though he is bond-to-be with his twin Mimi. She also likes Oliver very much and he is now her familiar on top of being in love with her. So she doesn’t really know what to do, and she won’t do much, let’s be honest.

Bliss was my favorite character in this book. Former Mimi’s friend and now Schuyler’s best friend. She is concerned for her pairs and she’s always trying to do what she thinks is right. But she’s also hunted by nightmares and has no one to turn to. Her character was really surprising.

There isn’t much to say about the plot itself. Everyone seems to be lying and hiding something so you don’t really know what’s going on.

The end was stunning tough. For obvious reasons I never saw the final blow coming. The last 50 pages or so were action-packed and even though I’m not a big fan of the series I can’t help but wonder what will the Blue Bloods community do next. So I will eventually read the forth book, I can’t help it. I just hope there will be more action and more content to hold onto, and less high-class events wouldn’t hurt. But I’m sure we’ll get to witness Mimi & Jack’s bonding, hopefully it will be full of drama lol.

This was a good one in the series but I think it was more of a stepping stone type of book. I will wait to see on the next on.

Another series that makes me mad...maybe I am just reading too many YA series...or too many vampire novels. Take your pick. I feel like there is too much going on here. The plot, the action, the characters, everything. It's all over the place. And all the crap about being reborn and having multiple vampiric life cycles. Clever idea when it started, but quickly becoming too convoluted. (Man, do I sound cranky. Sorry Melissa, maybe I'm just jealous you're published and I'm not...)
