Schuyler Van Alen is the outcast at her upper east side prep school. She spends all of her time with her best friend Oliver. That is, until she catches the attention of Jack Force, her long time crush, also the most popular guy at school. His twin sister Mimi, is not pleased with this. Bliss, a Texas transplant in the city, is in the group, but doesn't feel understood. When one of the most popular girls at school turns up dead, and the characters start noticing weird changes in themselves, it's only Schuyler and Bliss who don't know what is going on. It turns out, that all of these popular kids, and Schuyler herself receive invitations to join a prestigious and exclusive society. The society of Blue Bloods, very old vampires, and also the oldest, wealthiest families in the city. Oliver is left out, as he is human.

That is a lot of basic plot kind of text... but you can also expect: new lore on vampires (fallen angels), travel to exotic locations, love triangles/squares?, and tons of page turning mystery surrounding the murder at the school.

I tore through this one and consequently the second installment.

While I'm not into the Gossip Girl part enough to read Gossip Girl... the mix of that with supernatural, and things outside of the upper east side made it bearable and an interesting read for me.
