There is no doubting that vampires are fashionable right now with Twilight, True Blood and Vampire Diaries on the must watch list. All the best vamp shows are based on novels and right now we are loving the Blue Blood series of books by Melissa de la Cruz.
Technically these are probably aimed at teen readers (think Gossip Girl with fangs) but the we aren't ashamed to admit that we, women in our 20s, are hooked!
We have read Blue Bloods and Masquerade and cannot wait for Revelations. Just a quick note, if you are going to read the first book you are left on the edge so it is worth having Masquerade ready!
A bit about the books:
BLUE BLOODS (book 1)
They're Young, Fabulous and Fanged... And they rule Manhattan from the trendy uptown clubs to the downtown boutiques. Fifteen-year-old Schuyler Van Alen has never quite fit in at her exclusive prep school, she's more of a vintage than a Versace girl, but all that's about to change...
Because Schuyler has just found out she's a Blue Blood. The Blue Bloods are the city's glamorous and secret vampire elite. They're young, beautiful and powerful. But now they're being murdered. And Schuyler must find out who or what is behind it before she's next.
MASQUERADE (book 2)
Preparations are under way for the ball of the century. But as any true Blue Blood knows, it's the after-party that counts. And the cunning Mimi Force is getting ready to make sure her masquerade ball is the place to be for the Young, Fabulous and Fanged. But Schuyler Van Alen has more on her mind than fancy dresses, even if her crush Jack Force, is sure to make an appearance.
She's getting closer to finding out what's been preying on the young vamps and discovering the deadly secrets hiding under the masks... Rich with glamour, attitude and vampire lore, this second instalment in the Blue Bloods saga will leave readers thirsting for more.
Available from all good bookstores.
