The Blue Bloods Series by Melissa de la Cruz

Within New York City’s most elite families, there lurks a secret society of celebrated Americans whose ancestors sailed on the Mayflower. They are the powerful and the wealthy—and in fact, they are not human. They are the Blue Bloods, an ancient group of vampires.

Schuyler Van Alen has never fit in at Duchesne, her prestigious New York City private school. She prefers baggy, vintage clothes instead of the Prada and pearls worn by her classmates, and she lives with her reclusive grandmother in a dilapidated mansion. Schuyler is a loner—and happy that way.

But when she turns fifteen, Schuyler’s life changes dramatically. She has a mosaic of blue veins on her arms, and craves raw meat. The death of a popular girl from Duchesne is surrounded by a mystery that haunts her. And strangest off all, Jack Force, the most popular boy in school, is showing a sudden interest in her.

Schuyler wants to find out the secrets the Blue Bloods are keeping. But is she herself in danger?

I totally love this series. I got the van alen legacy for christmas nd i cant wait to read it.

I couldn't get through it. I finished the first book and it was okay. Then I had to force myself through the second and I couldn't finish the third. It just wasn't for me, I guess.

Eh, they're not the greatest book, I'll tell you that.
But I kinda don't like the whole fashion/vampire thing.
I still need to read the fourth book.

i kno wat u mean Evie. i had to force my self thru the first 3 and now im only gonna read the 4th to find out wat happened. i honestly didnt like them that much either but i started it nd i cant just stop readin somtin in the middle of the series

i was brought the first two books at christmas but i have not got around to reading them yet i liked the look of the covers but thats about it

The covers are beautiful, the story is completely different.

By far my favorite!

Im thinking about getting Blue blood!

I know I'm so bummed out I went 2 my libary none there

I got the first two books along with Evermore for Easter and I'm going to start them later on.......hope I get on with them a little better than everyone else has! It doesn't look like this is a favourite series!

It's not.
There's hardly anything exciting happening.
Plus the Vampire/Fashion mixed together makes it another no go.
For me it was just a guilty pleasure.

I just finished the first book and ordered the second and the third. It's kinda like Gossip Girl meets vampires. I kinda liked it actually, but yeah i still have to get through the second and the third! I'll let you know when I'm finished!

i have all the books so far and not read any shame on me anyway im hoping to read them when i can but other books are always calling me to read them first

im a bit worried about the whole fashion mix as i have no idea about fashion lol

I read book 2 and 3 in one day, now i finally have book 4 but it doesnt really keep my attention, though i still want to know what really happens.. but yet another book? pffff

I've started the first book like three times and just can't get into it. Honestly I forget I'm reading it and pick up something else. Too bad it sounded good on the shelf.
