Schuyler Van Alen is a freshman at the prestigious Duchesne School. A loner by nature, she finds her life thrown into turmoil when she turns 15. Suddenly she is allergic to the sun, craves raw food, and if she cuts herself, her blood is blue. Schuyler has no idea what is happening to her. As more and more curious things happen, Schuyler must confront her family and friends to discover the truth behind her blue blood. But there are bigger problems soon to be faced. When a girl in school is found dead, with mysterious bite marks on her neck, Schuyler is more confused than ever about her heritage…and her destiny.

Summary: It's no Twilight
Comment: Being a huge fan of the Twilight series, I wasn't sure I would like this book. It's an okay read. The only redeeming quality is the presence of Schuyler. If it wasn't for her character I wouldn't have been able to stand all the high society snootiness and the superficial teens who consume mass quantities of designer clothing. It was an interesting read, overall. I didn't feel like it was a complete waste of time.

Summary: Great for a quick read and the series ROCKS!
Comment: After seeing this book only received 3 1/2 stars, I decided not to buy it. My friend later recommeded the book. I loved it! I read it in an afternoon. I don't know what some of these 1 & 2 stars were for...? I thought it was a great read!

Summary: Spoiled Rotten Vampire Teenagers
Comment: Devoured it in a single setting. Blue Bloods is the lovechild of the Twilight series and the Gossip Girl books, but is far superior to either one of them. Set in Manhattan among society's elite, Blue Bloods tells the story of fallen angels, vampires, and a secret history.
Considering the glut of books about vampires and privileged teens, Blue Bloods managed to stand out while still being just a good young adult book. It's not a literary masterpiece, but it's solid.

Summary: Very different Vampire Book
Comment: I liked this book, it took me awhile to get into the book, but once I did I enjoyed the book. I think it might be a little bit confusing for young teens to read. When you find out how the Vampires come back year after year. It took me by surprise. Very weird and confusing, but it is different and when you read as many vampires books as I do a little different is good. Can't wait for the 2nd books.

Summary: It was alright
Comment: Being and avid Twilight series fan i was very unsure of this book. I was disappointed and impressed at the same time. I was extremely impressed by the writing style. It was fluid and very well thought out, so in that regard it was a very good book. But for this being a book about vampires, there are just not enough vampires in it. For the first 100 pages or so the idea of vampires is simply mentioned and not explored. So, if you are a Twilight fan like myself, you will not only be disappointed in not reading about the vampires, but also be very disappointed in tn the way that the vampires that we have come to learn and love are not portrayed the same way. Also I thought it had a very weird story line.
