This second Blue Bloods book has one major improvement the number of pages dedicated to describing various pieces of clothing is reduced from about 150 pages in the first book to about 50 The rest of the book is of the same quality same flat characters, same obsession with parties, expensive things and good looks, same absence of noticeable climax, and, sadly, same plot or lack of it.What goes for these books however is a very intriguing new take on vampire lore It is obvious this lore comes to [...]

Melissa dela Cruz, this is a filler right Come on, nothing really happen in this book I guess I just have to read the next one since many of my friends considered Book 3 as the best out of the series.I just don t like that majority of the book was all about partying and hooking up meh that s pretty much it.I really also don t have a favorite character atm so to speak None of them really strike me as interesting enough to held my interest And I just felt that the character are very similar to the [...]

While the vampire lore was pretty much all that kept me going while reading Blue Bloods, I found a little to appreciate while reading its sequel, Masquerade Granted, this book isn t perfect, but it is a slight step up.One big thing I noticed was the minimal designer name dropping It worked against the previous novel, basically since it made the characters even distant and unrelatable except the fact that they re, you know, vampires and all , since I don t think any reader had any idea who thos [...]

What would you do if you could bring the dead back to life I didn t like Masquerade, I loved it beacuse it will leave you with so many questions that you will have to read the next book Schulyer Van Alen goes on an adventure to figure out the truth Even things seems to be going fine as she connects with long lost faminly members Unfortunately, her world is turned upside down when a explosion goes off in the most secure place for a Blue Bloods And when people start making assumtions about who did [...]

Reviewed by Randstostipher tallnlankyrn Nguyen for TeensReadTooWhen 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 no [...]

I bought this book yesterday and finished yesterday too.Urgh I was too intrigued by the first book s whole IDEA to let this one go by without a read I buy books out of habit, one I should VERY much stop until I have read it before since this one too was a waste of my money.Urgh again More blandness I want to punch Charles force in the face, slap Mimi and the whole Kingsley thing was random and just what was the fracking point Also, Mimi said in the first book that she couldn t remember anything [...]

Masquerade was a lot of fun to read The writing hasn t improved much from book one, but the characters and the plot sure did This book had great pacing, and an even amount of plot development as well as scenes showing past events explanations for things Nothing super significant happens in this one, but there is a lot of learning that suggests there are some pretty exciting things coming up next There also isn t an enormous amount of character growth in this book, but I feel like the stage is se [...]

Aghhhhh that ending though So, this is a pretty damn good vampire series so far but I am so ready for something to happen to Allegra already Wake up We also see a bit of what happened to begin with, but obviously there is to that story It did get a bit exhausting with the explosion and finding out who has responsible but it is interesting to know that Schuyler inherited some of her mother s abilities I still don t like Mimi and for some reason I like Bliss even less Maybe it has something to do [...]

This wasn t as good as the first one I actually went back, and flipped through the first one to make sure I wasn t imagining things de la Cruz s writing style gets much stilted and awkward in this book, and her exposition gets much awkward The first ten pages are full of INFORMATION BEING THROWN AT YOUR HEAD, HEY GUYS REMEMBER FROM THE LAST BOOK Maybe I was on less cold medicine this time around, but I wasn t as enthralled The story is still interesting I like how de la Cruz worked Roanoke and [...]

I really enjoyed this book much than I enjoyed the first book, Blue Bloods There were some things that I thought were annoying but the rest of the book was really great It ended with a cliff hanger, which I hate, and the thing with the Silver Bloods is starting to annoy me Schuyler Schuyler, in my opinion, was a better character in this book than in Blue Bloods I really want to know how it goes with her and Jack, but now with Oliver, she just got into one big mess But I am curious how it is goi [...]

even drama schulyer and oliver s relationship takes a twist, lost relatives return, and the monster in bliss dreams is still around mimi gets what s coming to her, in a sense, and then, strangely, charles force wants schulyer this installment was action filled and assumed from the beginning that we knew the characters and the setting there was no baby sitter s club type intro, which i appreciated i always ended up skipping that part of the book i knew claudia dressed funky, okay jack is still [...]

Since I hated everything about the first book, I was scepitcal to continue with the series HOWEVER I did enjoy the second book LOTS than the first book I felt like there was actually something happening this time we had a plot with action and everything The characters are still very flat, and to be honest most of the storyline is very predictable I felt myself enjoying this book It was a quick and easy read.

Masquerade picks up right where Blue Bloods left off, with prepartions for the Four Hundred Ball in full swing while Schuyler Van Alen and her best friend Conduit Oliver Hazard Perry travel to Italy in search of her Grandfather The book is told through the alternate points of view of three Blue Blood females Schuyler, who just found out that she s a vampire and has started her transition, Mimi Force, the most powerful popular Blue Blood at their school, and Bliss Llewlyn, Texan daughter of a sen [...]

3.5 starsWhile I liked this book a lot, for most of the time I ve felt like I was reading a filler book If you guys dont know what a filler means let me explain it to you they are basically random anime events episodes arcs characters that do not happen whatsoever in the manga They come out when the anime adaptation catches up with the manga and has to make time so the manga artist can get a head with the story.The other reason for fillers are to simply milk an anime for money These episodes ar [...]

Oh good grief, Masquerade is even worse than Blue Bloods The first handful of pages are devoted to awkward exposition, recapping the ENTIRE FIRST BOOK, which most people will have READ ALREADY.Every single thing that I thought was being hinted at in the last book came to pass in this one the twists were predictable, and the bits of writing that were supposed to be from the nineteenth century were laughably horrible Did newspaper articles, even in the late 1800s, really mention in every article a [...]
