I decided to read this book because I was bored and want to know what will happen to Schuyler and Oliver but apparently I didn't like this book as much as I like other parts of blue bloods. The character are mainly same but the part I really love was when Mimi realise that she is in love with Kin...
Non so come, ma alla fine sono arrivata al quinto libro della saga. Non so se la continuerò, forse è già tanto che abbia letto cinque libri su sette.Come al solito, la storia aveva un sacco di potenziale, ma, in primis per colpa della traduzione, e, in secondo luogo, più in generale, per il modo...
This is a novella spin off from the blue blood series which I haven’t read. Thus all the characters were new to me. Since it refers to places that may be familiar to those who know the previous titles, I’d say it doesn’t stand on it’s own. There is a Companion story to Revelations, about Schuy...
Truthfully I have not been reading a lot lately. It's been hard to find something I want to sink my teeth into. However, I got this book on Tuesday and it's now Saturday and I'm finished.I did watch most of the television show (I stopped a bit into season 2) and I really enjoyed it. However, t...
I finally got around to reading the last novel in the "Blue Bloods" series. I'm sad to see it finished. This series has really been a guilty pleasure series for me. This last book was no different and this ending was one that this series deserved.We get to learn more about the other side of Schuy...
Firstly, I liked de la Cruz's addition of her own letter to constant reader. Brought some giggles out of me. Secondly, I love the brief takes into some of the characters. My favorite, by far, "Shelter Island - Dylan's Story". It made me fall in love with his character. To know how affected ...
I'm giving this graphic novel a five-star rating for my enjoyment of it and the plot/story line as if it were the original. I know there is a book series that this is based off of, however the graphic novel is what I read first.I plan on reading the novels in the future, and I'll give them their ...
J'ai bouclé la saga en décembre 2012 et depuis j'ai tourné la page. Pour moi, ce spin-off paraît trop tard en VF, j'ai eu le sentiment d'être larguée. Sans compter que les personnages ne m'ont guère inspiré de sympathie, à l'exception de Bliss forcément, qui se révèle plus forte et déterminée, tr...
I had a little trouble appreciating the parts about Bliss and the wolves in Gates of Paradise because I got too excited to read it and failed to read Wolf Pact beforehand. Still, I wanted to understand what I did not while reading the final book in the long-running Blue Bloods series. Despite bei...
Did the Blue Bloods series need a shot in the arm? Yes, it did. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy the series. There was a lot of information in these books that we’ve been waiting on to make the world that Melissa De La Cruz created more complete. The world of the wolves, those who have not bee...
I really enjoyed this book. It was intriguing and easy to read. Perfect for Halloween. And then the last 30 pages happened. It was like de la Cruz got confused when she was editing and attached the ending from a different manuscript. It also felt like a cop out, because the solution was spru...
I found this book only because I watched the first season of the show. It was very, very different. Like, vastly different. Sometimes not necessarily in a good way. Some things I'm going to mention off the top of my head:- I was confused about the plot involving Mimi. Why was it even brought up,...
Can't believe it took me years before I finally got the chance of finishing this series. It was one of my favorite series back in my college days. I can still remember those sleepless nights wherein all I did was read and read. It was one of those cases where I graduated college and got excited...
SPOILER HIDDEN IN HERE!After reading this ENTIRE series, I have to say that the confusion through the first books makes sense and is very clear and well connected in this final book. It is nicely wrapped up, written excellently and captured me enough to read the entire series. If you have not r...
I liked having this little companion to the series. Some of it was a little redundant if you've read all the books, but I really enjoyed a break down of past lives, conduits and human familiars, as well as the angel names for the main characters. I also really enjoyed the little stories that we...
I can't believe I actually paid $0.99 for this! so disappointing. I saw that it was a prequel for the Witches of East End novels so I jumped on it before I saw the length... I didn't even notice until I was a few pages in and it said I was at 31% already! Now you could blame me for not reading th...
I read all of the Blue Blood series and wanted to see what they would do with a reboot for adults. For me, the book read exactly like the original Blue Bloods novels. As a matter of fact, it was jarring when Mimi (Force) Martin started whining about how she was getting old and less attractive a...
I can't say Blue Bloods is among my favourite series though I've read all the books in it. I didn't expect much from Vampires of Manhattan but I felt I had to read it because you know, old habits die hard. I am so glad I did. The writer and the story have matured so the result is more interesting...
This is the second summer, and the summer before the girls' senior year.Eliza- her family is making more money now, and she is trying to find a job at a new club. she and jeremy broke up because of the distance, but she is looking forward to seeing him again. it is also revealed that during the w...
Ugh. Another 'trainwreck' book. I call them this because once I start reading, I fully accept that the book is badly written and not worth my time, but I'm already invested, so I finish it anyway. I understand that the point of the story is to show the rich and sorta-famous side of NYC, but I'd r...
The Ashleys rule Miss Gamble's Preparatory School for Girls. They are gorgeous, rich, impeccably fashion forward, and, yes, all named Ashley. Lauren Page has gone to the same school with them her whole life, and the Ashleys, if forced to remember, might recall only a faint memory of shoving mud i...
Things start getting a little crazy in this third installment of the popular and addicting series! Actually, all three girls start out the summer thinking that it will be the best ever. Eliza’s got a killer job working for a famous fashion designer and is determined to spend some quality time wit...
FIRST READ: 2011 December (3 stars)I skipped some parts on Melissa de la Cruz's Fresh Off the Boat. The book entertained me a bit and because the narrator was a teenager and mostly talked about, uh, crushes, love (I'm sorry I can no longer remember and when I was reading this I was being crazy ov...
Read the full review here @A Perfection Called BooksThe Concept:Blue Bloods is a trio combination of Gossip Girl, angels, and vampires. The idea and premise of this series is original and great! Basically the angels who sided with Lucifer were cast down from heaven and now they are Blue Bloods, v...

A fashionista is a girl who always looks current and cutting edge, even when her clothes are vintage 1975. A fashionista can tell her Pucci from her Gucci and her Blahniks from her Choos, but she’s as comfortable in Kmart as she is in Chanel. She wears what she likes and always looks fantastic. S...
THE ANGELS PRACTICE, OR TAP, is the kind of cult that doesn't exist. There are no rules and no records, just a MySpace-like website. All you need to know is that it will define who you are and what you will become. Amidst the glittering L.A. nightlife, TAP parties are the place to see and be seen...
Without any kids to look after, Eliza and Mara spent the entire time perfecting their tans and discovering new shopping streets. On Wednesday they hit the Saks in Southampton, Thursday was the Tanger Outlets in Riverhead, and on Friday they bought matching vintage Lilly Pulitzer dresses at Colett...
Shakes stood behind him with a grim smile, holding the blunt edge of his gun. “Next time, pick on someone your own size, icehole.” “You jammed his radio?” asked Wes, making sure. “Easy as stealing watts from a tourist at roulette,” Shakes said with ...
She had been looking forward to the party all day, had run home to go through every outfit in her closet, holding up dress after dress to see which shade of blue looked best. Azure? Periwinkle? Turquoise? She had settled on a dark midnight-blue lace mini-dress and matching high-heeled boots. She’...
Two distinct voices are heard: Venator Martin and Charles Force, Regis.» Venator Martin: She has taken the bait. Charles Force: Are you perfectly sure? VM: Yes. There is no doubt in my mind that she will attempt to perform the Incantation Demonata. CF: But a mere child to dabble with such dark ma...
DEX WALKED BRISKLY TOWARD THE fountain. He was wearing a black baseball cap and carrying a bouquet of roses. A. A. felt so elated she couldn’t even speak for a moment. It’s him. I knew it. He looked even more handsome than she remembered. She couldn’t stand it anymore. “Dex!” she called, waving. ...
This was supposed to be the happiest day of her life—or at the very least, one of the happiest—but all she felt was agitated. This was a problem, because whenever Freya became anxious things happened—like a waiter suddenly tripping on the Aubusson rug and plastering the front of Constance Bigelow...
“Retreat! Retreat!” Wes yelled, throwing up a shield around them as they ran away. Nat stood stock-still as the flames grew taller and wilder around her. The white fire was stronger now—hotter, but she felt no warmth. Instead, a current of electricity ran through her body;...
It wasn’t a big lie. It wasn’t an end-of-the-world-or-at-least-their-friendship lie. This morning, when Ashley asked Lili if she and A. A. were both wearing their bikinis under their school uniforms, Lili had said, “Um, yeah.” Though what she really meant was, of course A. A.’s wearing her bikini...
—JOHN HOLMES “WHEN MARIA’S VISA EXPIRED,” Mrs. Blakely says, “we had to help her get an extension, which is much harder to do once the date has passed. The government tends to frown on that, but we were able to make it happen.” I’m at a coffeehouse with Royce and his mom. ...
She wasn’t really paying attention, but apparently it involved slopping mud into their boots. Real mature. If this was camping heaven, then Lili would rather be in hell. Up on Mount Tam, rain had been falling for most of the afternoon, pretty much ever since Cassandra’s dad dropped them off in th...
The fewer hounds we see, the better. I don’t know how long they’ll listen to me if I’m leaving,” Kingsley told them, as the train began to slow down. The land outside was the same dusty desert as from the beginning of their journey, Oliver noted. He wasn’t looking forward to perform-ing another s...
There was a decal of a piglet doing a pirouette in toe shoes on the chest.“What do you think?” The light flashed against the lens of his tortoiseshell glasses.“Um, Tabitha is having a baby boy?” she said.They had snuck out on their lunch break at the library to shop for Tabitha’s baby shower at t...
It was so obvious he'd hooked up with somebody last night. Mara felt sickeningly jealous. It seemed that Ryan Perry would never lack for a girl in his life, and even worse, she would never be that girl again. 155 happiness is a full sail on a strong wind THERE WERE MANY ADVANTAGES TO KNOWING KIT ...
His knee bent at an unnatural angle and he reeled sideways. His torch fell to the ground, still flickering. He moaned and tried to stand, but a dark shadow hit him on the jaw and he doubled over on the ground. Lawson was on him in a flash, drawing the hound away. Come out! he yelled. Stop hiding ...
Who knew he had it in him? And he was enjoying dancing with Jane, who looked pretty with her hair back to its original color and neat style instead of the long, glossy mane Mal’s spell had created. Carlos thought Jane’s normal hair suited her better. Some people didn’t really need makeovers, just...
