Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz

For those of you who just can’t get enough of vampires and are ready to go past the 11-15 age group of reading, try the Blue Bloods novels by Melissa De La Cruz.    These books are found in the adult fiction section of the library.    I just finished reading the fourth installment in the series (without having read 1 – 3) The Van Alen Legacy. The Blue Bloods are in a struggles with the Silver Bloods to survive.   The Blue Bloods are not your “typical” vampires.    They do not have to stay out of the daylight or sunlight.      They do not have to drink the blood of humans.   The patriarch of the Blue Bloods has died (or was he murdered) and has passed his legacy on to his granddaughter Schuyler who only knew him in the last few months of his life.    Schuyler has forsaken her love for Jack, another Blue Blood who is to be bonded to his “sister” Mimi, and finds her love with Oliver, her human familiar or guide.    Schuyler and Oliver are on the run all over the world because she is being sought as the murderer of her grandfather.   Her best friend Bliss has been kept drugged for almost a year by her politician father.    Bliss thinks she needs to help Schuyler or Schuyler needs to help her, but she cannot think for the permanent fog in her mind.     It probably would have been easier to tell the good guys and the bad guys apart if I had read the first three in the series, but this was still an amusing tale for an evening’s reading.
