Product Description
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.

 Okay, but aren't books supposed to have endings? December 3, 2008
S. Yadlosky (Pittsburgh, PA)
This book is a little vapid, but enjoyable. The writing is so-so, but the plot has a lot to offer. De La Cruz, however, did not take advantage of that. I believe that a book, even if it is a part of a series, should have the ability to stand on its own as a good book. This one does not. There is no climax. The book ends with little excitement. I believe what should have been included in this book has probably been saved for the second book in the series, despite the fact that excluding those events makes this book only a little enjoyable. Overall, I would recommend it if you are willing to be disappointed by the ending (or lack thereof).
 Amazing! Could be better than Twilight in my book. November 29, 2008
Elisabeth Stepien (Parkland, FL)
Extremely well written, and leaves you thirsting for more. There is romance, drama, vampires, a little something for everyone to enjoy! I would recommend this book to every single person out there that liked Twilight, for this is the best book series I have found so far that even competes with Twilight. The second and third book in the series leave you stunned and I was at Walmart at almost 2 AM looking for the 2nd book for how badly I wanted the book!
 It's no Twilight October 30, 2008

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.
 Great for a quick read and the series ROCKS! October 30, 2008

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!

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.
