This is book three of one of the two Vampire series I'm still following (Vampire Academy is the other). It's a distinct blend of Gossip Girl style writing and culture with vampire myth - throwing in some fascinating angels & demons backbone to the traditions about vampires. I think I'm still reading (I usually avoid sequels if I can resist at all) because I'm still a little fascinated by the myth of angels, even though Schyler has lost her bohemian flair and the plot's getting a bit predictable. Melissa de la Cruz is still my favorite of the clique lit authors.
