When the Mayflower set sail in 1620, it carried on board the men and women who would shape America: Miles Standish; John Alden; Constance Hopkins. But some among the Pilgrims were not pure of heart; they were not escaping religious persecution. Indeed, they were not even human. They were vampires.The vampires assimilated quickly into the New World. Rising to levels of enormous power, wealth, and influence, they were the celebrated blue bloods of American society. The Blue Bloods vowed that their immortal status would remain a closely guarded secret. And they kept that secret for centuries. But now, in New York City, the secret is seeping out. Schuyler Van Alen is a sophomore at a prestigious private school. Suddenly, when she turns fifteen, there is a visible mosaic of blue veins on her arm. She starts to crave raw foodand she is having flashbacks to ancient times. Then a girl from her school is found dead . . . drained of all her blood. Schuyler doesnt know what to think. Could those vampire legends really be true?Steeped in vampire lore and set against the heady backdrop of the rich, young, and powerful in the heart of New York City, Blue Bloods will be devoured by Melissa de la Cruzs legion fans.

Reviews
maybe its just me but there seems to be repetitive thing with vampire novels nowadays. I thought this was okay at first but after about 60 pages of reading i said why do i need to read this this is not a vampire novel its a love story. There were to many interactions between events and I personally thought after the big break novel cough cough twilight the genre has no new take on what people like i dont know it seems a little like beating a dead horse i want to find an original story in the vampire genre.But when you get one hit you have clones and this is a little unique but not enough one star is my judgement.
I love the vampire theory and myths in this one... but the details around what everyone is wearing all the time kind slows the story down and drags it on a bit... it's the only thing I didn't like...
