When we last left off with Schuyler Van Alen, she was just getting used to the news of being a Blue Blood, or what we
normally label them as, a vampire. She gets invited into the New York Blood Bank Committee and, before she knows it,
Schuyler is swept away into the unknown world of the Blue Bloods. Unfortunately, it seems like Schuyler discovered her
true self at the wrong time, since three Blue Blood teens have been murdered.
Still not satisfied, Schuyler wants more information for why young vampires are dying and the only way she can find out
more is by visiting her grandfather, who lives in Italy. And so in MASQUERADE, Schuyler is off with her best friend to get
to the truth. But while Schuyler is trying to learn more about her new world, the Four Hundred Ball is being held in New
York, and it seems like the party, before and after, are more than what she bargained for.
Of course, with all of this mystery and drama, Schuyler’s life also has to be filled with a little boy drama. It’s not enough
having mixed-up, obnoxious feelings toward Jack, but with the new guy in town, things just happen to get messy.
Melissa de la Cruz continues her amazing series, BLUE BLOODS, with full force in MASQUERADE. Some problems are
solved while even more are unleashed, and you just can’t help but fall deep into this wonderful series. The relationships that
Schuyler has with everyone around her are just amazingly sweet. The good part about this series is that there is definitely
more to come. The drawback just happens to be waiting for the next one.
