Book Description:
Have you ever wondered what secrets lurk behind the closed doors of New York City's wealthiest families? They're powerful, they're famous... they're undead. Schuyler Van Alen's blood legacy has just been called into question--is the young vampire in fact a Blue Blood, or is it the sinister Silver Blood that runs through her veins? As controversy swirls, Schuyler is left stranded in the Force household, trapped under the same roof as her cunning nemesis, Mimi Force, and her forbidden crush, Jack Force. When one of the Gates of Hell is breached by Silver Bloods in Rio de Janeiro, however, the Blue Bloods will need Schuyler on their side. The stakes are high; the battle is bloody; and through it all, Carnavale rages on. And in the end, one vampire's secret identity will be exposed in a revelation that shocks everyone.

I enjoyed this book more than the rest. It seemed to pull it all together for me and now I am sucked in and awaiting The Van Allen Legacy. If your looking for a book that involves vampires, romance, love triangles, and an interesting take on vampires in general, you will enjoy this book. The first of the series was not the greatest but it seems as if they keep getting better. On the downside the book may be a little too detailed again and may get a little boring at times but overall a good read.

This is the third book in the Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz. I thought this one was the best of the series; I would give it 4.5 stars if I could!

In this book things are coming to a head. The Silver Bloods are evidently somehow infiltrated into some of the prestigious Blue Bloods families but no one knows who or where. With Lawrence running the council things are changing at Duchesne school. The students are now learning more about how to defend themselves. Things are getting worse for Bliss; who instead of just having blackouts is now plagued by horrible visions while awake too. Something is wrong in South America and Lawrence is called away to deal with it. Schuyler spends time in misery when she is adopted by Charles Force; she also spends a lot of time in this book trying to reconcile her relationships with Oliver and Jack. Mimi spends most of her time planning her bonding with Jack; when she isn't making Schuyler miserable.

This book had a much faster pace then the second one. The plot line twisted again and again; which I actually thought was well done and enjoyed. I thought this book, more than any of the previous ones, really kept you on your toes mentally and kept you second-guessing yourself. I thought this book really set the stage nicely and made the series into something bigger than high school girls that are super pretty and happen to be vampires.

There are, of course, the prerequisite modeling scenes. I actually enjoy reading about these so they don't detract from the story for me. The amount of time Schuyler spent whining about whether or not she loves Oliver or Jack got seriously annoying; but as the plot moved along she didn't have time to dwell on this forever.

As I said, I thought this was the best book of the series. I liked how complicated the plot got at the end and how dire circumstances end up. I think the story was well tied up, but leaves you wondering what will happen in the bigger picture. I loved that there was a lot more action in this book too! This book finally made me really excited about this series :-)

this is a good read. This book had me going through so many feelings when I was reading about Jack and Schlyer and Oliver too. I enjoyed it very much because it had enough of romance, action, plot, and depth of characters to make it a good read. I am looking forward to the next in the series to see what happens next to Schlyer.

I have been eagerly awaiting this installment of the series, but I was somewhat disappointed. I found the book slow & boring. Didnt really pick up & get good until the last few chapters. Way too much like a history lesson of the Blue Blood & Silver Bloods. Not enough action/romance/mystery to keep you reading. I did finish, but it was a struggle. Not sure if I will read the next.

Schuyler Van Alen is a half-vampire living in New York City.

Vampires, or Blue Bloods, are everywhere in the Big Apple. There's Bliss, Schuyler's new best friend and daughter of Senator Lewellyn. Then there's Dylan, Bliss' love interest who had disappeared a while back after a horrible accident that he was accused of causing, and who has just returned. And don't forget the Force twins -- Jack and Mimi.

Mimi, the extravagant and tenacious girl who will do whatever she can to get what she wants. And then there's Jack, who Schuyler has always had a crush on and who has finally returned those feelings to Schuyler. And don't forget Oliver, Schuyler's other best friend who's a Red Blood (human) who also happens to be madly in love with her.

If her love life weren't complicated enough, Schuyler has to deal with the fact that the Silver Bloods -- a group who works to kill all the Blue Bloods -- seems to be on the rise again after centuries of hiding. With her grandfather as the leader of the coven, it is up to him to try to uncover the many secrets and mysteries surrounding the Silver Bloods.

Melissa de la Cruz writes a very thrilling addition to the BLUE BLOODS novels. With lots of romantic drama and plot twists, REVELATIONS is sure to capture all readers.
