REVIEWS :Another YA series bites the dust...I was never too much into "Blue Bloods" series, but at least first two books were easy to read. This third one took a lot of effort to finish. It probably had a lot to do with the fact that the only thing I was attracted to in Cruz's books was the vampire lore. If in the beginning the lore seemed fresh and original to me, I am now fairly certain Cruz makes stuff up as she goes, without big picture of her world in mind, and this is why I am constantly confused. **POSSIBLE SPOILERS**Ok, what can I say? I love this book :D Seriously. Melissa isn't afraid to put twists in her writing and kill her main characters. And I wasn't that surprised when Lawrence basically said that it'll come down to a fight between Bliss and Schuyler. And I was really sad when Schuyler broke it off with Jack, I read that chapter on bluebloodsbooks.com and it made me soo sad because Jack really does L-O-V-E her. And I hope that her and Jack find a way to make it work in other Okay so Bliss just gained so much more interest from me! It will be awesome to read more about her story and see where this crazy world is taking readers! Jack “alter” behavior was disturbing but pretty entertaining to read in that last chapter. I am excited to go ahead and move on to book four now! My quick and simple overall: really getting into this series and this one really moves fast! Okay, I just have to say that I was really bugged to find out that this is NOT the last book in the Blue Bloods series! Apparently there are 9 books planned in total that was supposed to have been divided into 3 triologies. But this first "triology" is actually going to have 4 books. The next one (and hopefully the end of this particular story) is called "The Van Alen Legacy" and who knows when it's going to be released. Grrrr.Okay, rant over. Aside from that annoyance, I really liked the story. DnfSo the first two books were okayish, and I was really looking forward to this one, because I noticed that the writing was improving.And then it just went downhill. Like, REALLY down the hill. All the way to the bottom.The reason for that? I HATE Jack. All I could think while reading this book wasJack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of waterJack fell down and broke his crownAnd I couldn't have laughed harder I’m having a really difficult time reviewing the third instalment to the Blue Bloods series. Basically the shit hits the fucking fan in this book??? I honestly don’t know what else to say. There are a LOT of things revealed about who was in league with the silver bloods, more that I was anticipating because while one thing is heavily hinted at it was still WILD to see how it was revealed and the others who were also included/to what degree. We get some more info on the blue bloods and things This book was utterly confusing to me. Sometimes i didn't even know how or why someone was doing something. I loved the first two in the series which i was suggested to read by my cousin. It felt like gossip girl met vampires and I was slightly put down over various facts about how things were written which is a horrid side-effect after reading Twilight because you get that notion that all vampire books are like that, eek. I know. During the time i spent reading this book i grew more and more Best in the series by FAR. I loved the previous two books, but Revelations really puts Masquerade and Blue Bloods to shame. The action finally starts happening in this book, and they really make way with the Silver Blood war and finding out who's harbouring them. I totally guessed that Bliss was Lucifer or being possessed by him :D And her sister Jordan was the Watcher! For a while I didn't know where all of Forsyth Llewellyn's lies were heading, and what the hell was up with Dylan. But it I seriously have no idea why I keep on reading this series. There is NOTHING, literally NOTHING good about it. The first book was okay, but then the series went downhill. In THIS installment, Schuyler (I still have no idea to pronounce her name. Is it like Skyler? Schooler? ?!?!?!!?!?!?!) is off doing more stupid stuff. The other characters are doing stuff, and as the title says, there are REVELATIONS. To be honest, that huge one at the end caught me off guard, and also was a nice twist, but the (Link: http://vampirekiki.deviantart.com/art...)After finishing the first two books I couldn’t wait for the public library to buy the rest of the books so I bought the four Blue Bloods books and read them in one go. The series is just so catching. Even though it’s a bit puzzling to see having a luxurious life seemingly being the only thing that most of the Blue Blood vampires care about in book 1 and 2, but things improve a lot in book 3 when things heat up and the evil doers rush in for the True love is meant to be, but not if your brother is falling in love with a newborn. Blue Bloods: Revelations is by Melissa De La Cruz. Schuyler has moved in with her uncle, Charles Force and her “cousins” Jack and Mimi. The only problem with that is Mimi is Sky’s enemy and Sky has fallen for Jack and he returns to feelings. However, Mimi and Jack are suppose to be together and Mimi is trying her best to persuade Sky to stop, but Sky and Jack won’t listen to her at all. Meanwhile, Bliss has It's usually a mistake for a silly but fun YA serious to breach the boundaries of frivolity and delve into proper drama. Occasionally it works, as in Richelle Mead's awesome Blood Promise, which was spooky and sad and took the Vampire Academy series into properly solemn territory.As it turns out, Melissa de la Cruz is no Richelle Mead. The drama in Revelations is forced. Deaths seem trivial, the character's reactions shallow. I kept guffawing during the grim scenes due to awful descriptions and I'm glad that I read this book again. I thought I remembered this one but I was wrong about so much in it. Some of the things happened sooner rather than later like I thought. Other things I just forgot about.I still HATE Mimi but then again I'm not sure we really are supposed to like her. At least not at first. She is very selfish and it drives me nuts. Plus she is just a nasty person who looks down on anyone that's not in her immediate family. There were some relationships in this book. One I honestly don't know what to think about this series. About this book. About life as a whole. Because it was never meant to be. As tears began forming in her eyes as she looked into his cold ones. Right now, you're probably thinking, 'WHAT?!? o_O' Well, now you know how I felt about the book. One minute, you know what's happening, then you don't. So, in order to save you from having to go through what I went through, here is an ORDERLY account of what I didn't like, sort of liked, and was.
