This series is like a supernatural soap opera with a touch of political thriller dashed in for your entertainment. This one, so far, has been my favorite because of the pace and the revaluations that finally came to be, along with Allegra no longer in her role as what was basically Sleeping Beauty as a Vampire-Angel. Now time to start Misguided Angel (which I must say has one of the prettiest covers)! My quick and simple overall: adventurous and engrossing!

Melissa de la Cruz has been holding out on us! The Van Alen Legacy is by far the best in series. As a reader, I got everything I wanted, plus many amazing things I never would have thought to ask for. This series is basically a vampire soap opera, but man, what a well done soap opera it is.It has been over a year since Rio and Schuyler and Oliver have been on the run nearly as long. It would seem as though she has made her choice, but just as she makes a daring move to secure her and Oliver's sa...

I want to know what's gonna happen between Schuyler and Jack!!!!!!

Holy fuuuuuuuuuck. This book was DEFINITELY worth the wait, and I'd venture to say it's probably the best in the series. Lucifer finally takes the stage, and there's so much more action and excitement than in the previous books. The Van Alen Legacy finally gives us the information we need and kickstarts what we've been waiting for over the past 3 books. Everything is sort of turned on its head in the Van Alen Legacy - relationships are twisted and broken, angels are going against the Code, nobod...

I got super lucky and was able to read the latest Blue Bloods book--out on Oct 6th--and okay, The Van Alen Legacy? So good I actually COULDN'T stop reading it. For real--I had work to do, but I kept saying, "I'll just read one more page. Okay, one more chapter. Okay, just this little bit more... The Van Alen Legacy is a non-stop ride of twists and turns and OMG I didn't see that coming! and OMG! over other things I won't mention for fear of spoilers but let's just say that if you are a Blue Bloo...

The series started out so great. The premise was extremely original considering all the other vampire works coming out - reincarnation through life cycles, vampire/angel crossovers, half bloods, conspiracies, murder, and prophecies - but sadly that was all put to the side in favor of teenage angst, designer purses, and underage drinking. And this book in particular seems to have had nothing really happen in it. It's almost like it's filler. I literally skimmed a majority of this book, reading on...

This is where the series lost me. I loved the first one...but by number four I just can't stand switching through everyone's pov the way this series does. Plus, the story is random and doesn't make sense. .The plot holes are just something my logical brain can't ignore anymore. maybe I'll skim the rest just to see what's going on with jack.

WARNING: I AM VERY OPINIONATED, READ AT OUR OWN RISK! I wish there were 2.5 stars. This was, in my opinion, better than the first 3 books, but probably not something I would mark as 3 whole stars. Now, having said that, I can't lie, I have enjoyed reading this series. Why would I rate something as a 2 if I enjoyed reading it? Well, because its not great writing and the story isn't wonderful, and I don't like some of the events...but, she has hooked me with the mystery. So, I have to give her poi...

POSSIBLE SPOILERS. DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE BOOK!!!!!!11I was torn between rating The Van Alen Legacy by Melissa de la Cruz one and five stars. Certain scenes (anything with Ollie/Schuyler romance for example) were incredibly cringe-worthy whilst others, such as the self-sacrificing Kinglsey, deserved a standing ovation. Probably the worst part (and the main reason for a potential one star rating) was the constant skipping around of point-of-views; I love hearing other character'...

Every time I finish a book in the Blue Bloods series, I can't decide if I like it or not. Typically, I borrow it and read it in hardcover, and if I liked the new one well enough, I'll buy last year's in paperback. (Odd, I know, but my feelings about this series are so ambivalent, that I can't even decide to buy a single book without more input . . .)I think this will be my last Blue Bloods book. My reasons are below:As you can see from my rating, I did like it. Some fantastic things happened in

Bleh. First of all, I was sure I'd read somewhere that this was the last Blue Bloods book, but this barely wrapped anything up, so I guess I'm in for at least one more volume.This book just felt scattered all over the place. There is so much going on, with so many people, and so many sub-plots, and so much backstory - it just gets confusing. I also realize how unattached I am to this series, because I page one of this book alerted me to the fact that I'd completely forgotten 9/10 of what happene...

What an amazing story that started it all - such a creative, truly unique to incorporate vampires with angels and Roman history. Having said that, the delivery was kind of blah.I wish I could say I was sucked in to Skylar and Ollie's adventures or Kingsley and Mimi's quest or the love triangle (with an infinite number of sides) with all of the character. But I wasn't.The most interesting part was the battle that Bliss is facing, but the way she discovered everything about herself - the constant

4 / 5 stars reread: 25/04/20I am flying through this at a concerning pace. I've had to put myself on a momentary ban so I can study for my upcoming tests (I'm sure it'll only last for a few hours, probably finish the next two by the end of the day lmao).

Okay. It may sound weird, but I actually liked this book.*slow music, heads turning towards me...weird expressions...* YES! I liked this book! [image error]I really, really love The blue bloods series. Its among the top vampire books I am actually interested to read and know what gonna happen in the end. Because nowadays, vampire books are full of shit. So... basically, the fourth book was especially, like, made for me because I forgot all the characters (except for the main ones) and I read the...
