Apple After inheriting the dark Van Alen Legacy, Schuyler fled to Florence with her forbidden love, Jack. Now the two of them must embark on the mission Schuyler was destined to complete: to find and protect the five remaining gates that guard the earth from Lucifer, lord of the Silver Bloods.
Back in New York, Mimi has been elected Regent of a crumbling coven. Struggling with her heartache over the loss of Kingsley and with her overwhelming desire to destroy Jack, she must focus all of her energy on a perilous new threat. Vampires are being abducted and their captors are planning to burn them alive online...for all the world to see. Help arrives in the form of Deming Chen, a Venator from Shanghai, who must untangle the web of deceptions before the killers strike again.
As the young vampires struggle for the survival of the coven, they uncover a deadly secret, a truth first discovered by Schuyler’s mother during the Renaissance but kept buried for centuries. And as the Blue Blood enclave weakens yet further, fate leads Schuyler to a terrible choice that will ultimately map the destiny of her heart.
My Review
(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka “The Book Worm”)
What did I think about this book?
I’m excited to know that Jack and Schulyer are together in this book. They are so in love. I’m also a little nervous on what’s going to happen between them because of Mimi wanting revenge on Jack for leaving her. I love how you get two points of view…well… three in this book. You get the story of what’s going on with Jack and Schulyer on finding the gate, the story of Mimi and what she’s dealing with in New York City as Regent and another point of view from someone else who is helping Mimi out. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series since this book left me hanging again. Geez, I hate cliffhangers…but I’ve come to realize it makes the series so much better. It has me guessing and wanting more on Blue Bloods. I’m a little nervous on what’s going to happen though since the ending had me a little upset, but in a good way. I can’t stand Mimi, but I think a lot of people wouldn’t want her on your bad side. I can’t believe what was going on in New York though. That is just crazy.
I’m looking forward to reading “Bloody Valentine” next and hearing about Jack and Schulyer more.
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
