Bored of the ever popular Twilight, but not of the idea of vampires roaming undetected amongst us mere humans? Well, then the Blue Blood series by Melissa de la Cruz may be the perfect read for you.
Blue Bloods, Masquerade, and the newly released Revelations center around a group of posh New Yorkers attending a private school. Sound cliche? Wait for the twist. They're part of a prestigious clan of born again vampires. They were also originally fallen angels. Is that captivating enough for you?
To add to the drama of being a teenage vampire, one of the main characters, Schuyler (pronounced Skyler) is an outcast who is suddenly cast into the spotlight when her family's secrets are revealed. One by one, her fellow Blue Bloods are attacked and killed by an unknown entity, and it's up to her and her odd assortment of friends to figure out just exactly who, or what, is committing the worst crime of Blue Blood history.

These books aren't bad, they just aren't the best. If you're
actually looking for a good vampire thriller, then you might be disappointed in Blue Bloods. Drama, fashion, romance, and teenaged stereotypes are thrown in, making it more like a juicy WGN hit show than anything else. The first book was catchy enough, but as the series progressed, the attempt at including historical and biblical facts was confusing and made me want to just skip past certain chapters. If you're not looking for a hard read, but want something a shade more scary than Twilight, then go buy this series at your local bookstore or online: Blue Bloods Masquerade Revelations
