Revelations by Melissa de la Cruz
5.0
Best in the series by FAR. I loved the previous two books, but Revelations really puts Masquerade and Blue Bloods to shame. The action finally starts happening in this book, and they really make way with the Silver Blood war and finding out who's harbouring them.
I totally guessed that Bliss was Lucifer or being possessed by him :D And her sister Jordan was the Watcher! For a while I didn't know where all of Forsyth Llewellyn's lies were heading, and what the hell was up with Dylan. But it culminated in an amazingly epic battle, and the release of Leviathan from his prison was AMAZING.
I dont even know how to express my excitement about this book and the next edition that should be released soon ^_^ if you read Blue Bloods and/or Masquerade and weren't too fussed, do yourself a favour and read Revelations before making up your mind. It's a completely different entity from books 1 and 2, and all the speculation on certain plot points really gets kicked into gear in this book.
That being said, there are a lot of great emotions explored in this book, with heartbreak and angst being a major theme. Before reading about Trinity Force losing her vampire twin to a Silver Blood, it had never occurred to me that some people had lost their soulmates to the war, and therefore would never be bonded ever again =/ I applaud the author on being able to make me empathise with the character, despite the series being so heavily grounded in fantasy.
I was really quite saddened about the Jack/Schuyler/Oliver love triangle in this book (whereas before it had just annoyed me), although the situation was made significantly less depressing when Oliver's Repository file revealed him to not be as deeply in love with Schuyler as we'd predicted. Now Im at a point where I dont want Schuyler to end up with Jack, but also not really with Oliver - he came across as a total dick on that file.
But enough fangirling, I fucking LOVED this book and cant wait for the Van Alen Legacy!
