What color is your blood?

Yes, I read more vampire books. I just finished Blue Bloods and Masquerade both by Melissa de la Cruz. They were both so good that I needed to get through them today. One review for Blue Bloods says:

"De la Cruz introduces a conception of vampires far different from stake-fleeing demons in traditional horror fiction, coupling sly humor with the gauzier trappings of being fanged and fabulous."--Booklist

The main character is Schuyler Van Alen a teenager who attends a ritzy private school in New York City only to realize that she is a vampire. Throughout the books Schuyler discovers the vampire ways and vampire histories...all the way back to the settling of Plymouth Rock!!! There is mystery in these books as well as: suspense, romance, confusion, and lots of other emotions as well. The books really are well written and great to read if you are a fan of vampire books.

There are only a few drawbacks to these books (in my opinion of course!):

1. A few of the main characters have [you guessed it]
GREEN EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. Schuyler lives in a very ritzy place so there is lots of talk of fashion
and other en vogue topics
3. The third book does not come out until Fall of 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[*le sigh*]

Still, I am glad that I read these books and just have to hold out for 9 months or so!!!!!!! What other choice do I have?! ;)

Yeah, the Blue Blood novels were pretty good. I was one of the readers that could have done without the fashion talk. ;) Anyway, I just finished New Moon (from the Twilight series), and I've decided that I like that vampire series better. Although, I will still want to read the next book(s) in the Blue Bloods series. :)
