Most people think of blue bloods as the old elite families...but they are more than that. They are an ancient race of vampires that have been living for generations peacefully among the Red Bloods, or humans. But recently something has begun to kill the young off before they come into their powers. They face the choice of ignoring this threat and hoping it will go away or confronting it once and for all.
Schuyler Van Allen is a vampire, a Blue Blood. These vampires are not your traditional vampires. They are nearly invincible...sunlight, stakes, silver...all seem to be myths. So when Schuyler and her friends find that something is able to kill them off, they set off on a hunt to find what it is. This hunt for answers leads to more questions than they started with.
The teenagers, Schuyler and her Blue Blood schoolmates are fascinating characters that cover the entire spectrum of personalities. There are some you love, some you hate, and some you won't be able to make your mind up about. They are dynamic and adjust their life perspectives as situations change. The story was portrayed wonderfully, revealing enough to keep you reading without giving away the critical information to figure out who the killer is. I'm starting book two later today.
There were some typos and a few times the story jumped in an awkward way as if the author wasn't sure how to segway into the next section. I'm hoping her skills become a bit more polished as she continues with the series.
