The Blue Bloods have powers beyond human comprehension: strength that defies logic, speed that cannot be captured on film, the ability to shape-shift, and more. But in matters of the heart, no one, not even those immortal vampires, has total control.
In Bloody Valentine, part of the best-selling Blue Bloods series, author Melissa de la Cruz offers three tantalizing stories that delve deep into the love lives of the all-powerful vamps (and their Red Blood friends) from New York's Upper East Side. Might a witchy new girl help cure Oliver's broken heart? How did Allegra fall in love with a human? Will Schuyler and Jack finally be bonded?
Romantic and sensual, Bloody Valentine reveals the undying love, the hope and devastation, and the lust and longing that have defined the Blue Bloods throughout history. Prepare to be swept off your feet.

My Review

(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka “The Book Worm”)

The shortest book I ever read. I won’t go into it, but I will say this. I’m glad that Melissa de la Cruz wrote this book. It was a little dry at first, but then she brought into some drama in the Book that I wasn’t expecting. It went into detail about Schulyer’s familiar, Olivier; Schulyer’s Mom Allegra and her Dad and it also went into Jack and Schulyer’s Bonding finally. =) It’s 3 love short stories that transition into the next book which will be out in Autumn. It also goes into the new Adult Series that Melissa de la Cruz will be bringing out in the Summer which I will be buying. It was a short and sweet book, and I’m ready for the next Blue Bloods Series. I want to know what happens to Jack Force.

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.)
