This was a little all over the place for me. It jumped from Allegra to Oliver to Schuyler and Jack getting married. It was visions Allegra had as a child. It was Oliver taking away his bond with Sky. It was Sky wedding dress shopping. Sky getting attacked. Jack and Sky getting bonded. It was weird. 3 wordswaste.of.time.2 starsto me it just feels like De la cruz just put a mini book out to make more money. blah. over it. Do not reccomend this to anyone unless you are a die-hard Blue Bloods fan.

First off: the mention of Freya and Ingrid seriously made me miss Witches of East End (my husband and I even got into the show)! This series of short stories is fun to read but I did not like the second one kind of cut off. It didn’t make it a bad story, just not as satisfying. The final story is Jack and Schuyler’s bonding story which was a good one for sure. My quick and simple overall: good and fun but now I am ready to start Lost in Paradise!

I loved this book!! Melissa De La Cruze is one of my all time favorite author. This book was a fun read but I got a little confused. That means I need to read the Blue Blood series again just to understand it more clearly. It's a good book, I really could not put it down.

Bloody Valentine delivers where Keys to the Repository was lacking. Actual novellas about some of my faves!! Novellas to fill in the blanks and give me more of what I was missing from the stories!!! AND YET I WAS SO UNSATISFIED. I’ll break it down by novellas for ya because each one was TRULY a disaster in it’s own way.1. The Oliver centered novella explains how he will be able to move on from Schyler. To put it simply I think this could have been handled in a much better way. It was so OOC, ent...

Actual rating: 4.5 stars

Review written by the YA Fantasy Guide staff reviewer, Camille Morales.Bloody valentine is a Blue Bloods novella. I am a huge fan of the series, so I was thrilled to finally read this book. I’d been waiting a long time to get it. It was totally worth it.This book will not be your normal Blue Bloods book, because it is divided in three parts, and each part tells a different story. The parts tell: what happens to Oliver after Schuyler leaves with Jack, how Allegra and Schuyler’s father met, and Sc...

I decided to read Bloody Valentine by Melissa De La Cruze since it was right before Valentine’s Day. Immediately I was drawn to the story, which is divided into three mini stories. In the first story introduces Oliver, a young man who had just been dumped by his vampire girl-friend, Schuyler. He meets a beautiful angel in a bar and he is lead back to her apartment; where they sleep together and he forgets his feelings for the vampire. The second story goes back in time and is about Schuyler’s pa...

this was three short stories combined to make a book. i mean, i guess they were slightly longer than short stories, but the whole book is novella length. and it didn't really answer any questions. or move the story forward at all. GIVE ME A WHOLE BOOK, DARN IT! I WANT A WHOLE STINKING BOOK ABOUT SCHUYLER AND JACK AND MIMI AND OLIVER. two books have been released in this series, and neither has been fulfilling at all. i would rather wait a long time and eat the whole cake, as it were. but no, now...

A nice, light collection of novellas I read while sick in bed. I enjoyed the stories, and they were fairly romantic. The middle one about Allegra, Charles, and Ben definitely cleared up a bit of the backstory behind Schuyler's birth and stuff. I even didn't mind that much when she did the thing everyone accuses Cassandra Clare of doing-- introducing characters from spinoff series. (Seriously, Melissa de la Cruz perfected the Cassandra Clare business model.)

I have been on pins and needles waiting for Bloody Valentine, the current installment of Melissa de la Cruz hit series Blue Bloods. And it's finally out today!It took me just over an hour to read the book because it's that good. From the first page (with Oliver battling his inner demon) to the last (which I won't spoil), I just couldn't put it down.In Bloody Valentine, the author introduces us to a new character: Freya. Right away, I knew I'd like her (which just increases my anticipation for th...

Why do I like this book and for that matter this series? I can’t explain it. It’s against all sense and reason. It’s sort of like my feelings for Shakespeare’s character Falstaff. He’s a real rogue, an old dirty letch… fat and sweaty always up to some kind of scheme to make a fast buck. Yet I can’t help loving the bastard. It’s crazy. This book is the same… lousy title, over the top and unnecessary melodrama, some cringeworthy scenes, and cheesy illustrations. Yet after finishing the three stori...

Bloody Valentine is a little book full of short stories relating to romance in the Blue Bloods universe.I meant to read this years ago, but it disappeared into the depths of my book shelf. I finally found it the other day, and I decided I might as well read it. I'm sure, somewhere, I have the remaining books of the Blue Bloods I meant to years...half a decade ago...The short stories were cute, but I don't remember half of what happened in the Blue Bloods universe. With that being said, I wouldn'...

I was planning on finishing the series this year and thought to read this novella before continuing but this was pretty disappointing. A fourth of the book was a preview for another book. And of the three stories, two could have been part of one of the other books and the third reminded me that I’m not a fan of Schuyler and Jack. This actually kind of dragged and discouraged me from want to read the last couple of books in the series.

I thought of this book more as just a waster of time. Although I enjoyed knowing more about Allegra we were left with more unanswered questions. Why tell us she knew what would happen and chose a diffrent fate but not explain how she wound up on the same path. And as for Jack & Schyler's bonding I felt it lacked any feeling. I think that the simplness of it was great but I think the fact that it was such a huge moment for them that was summed up in a short story without anything leading up to it...

I don't know why they haven't posted this but here's some product detail on the book just in case any one wants to see. "Vampires have powers beyond human comprehension: strength that defies logic, speed that cannot be captured on film, the ability to shapeshift and more. But in matters of the heart, no one, not even the strikingly beautiful and outrageously wealthy Blue Bloods, has total control. In Bloody Valentine, bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz offers readers a new story about the lov...

It was necessity that made me read this book. I am not much of a fan of book that are not the next in the series or a spin off but something in between. But this series is so complicated that it is very difficult to keep track of all the things that happened. Since I am planning on reading Lost in Time the next in the Blue Blood series soon and have no detailed recollection of the things that happened in the previous books I decided to give this one try hoping for a little memory jolt. Well th...

”Bloody Valentine” is a novella in the Blue Bloods series. It consists of three beautifully written short stories each with a focus on matters of the heart--hence the title. While it is not necessary to have read all the books in this series before reading this novella, it is recommended, as two of the three stories relate to events that take place in the previous two books. The first story is about Schuyler Van Alen's friend and familiar Oliver Hazard-Perry and Freya, a character who will be th...

Where to Begin.... I was deeply disappointed by this book. I feel like Melissa De La Cruz might be losing her touch with this series which saddens me because it's my favorite book series to date. This book (which isn't really a book) is just a collection of three short stories. All the short stories felt extremely rush and forced.The first story follows Oliver and his life after Schuyler leaves. This felt out of character for Oliver, to me. I found myself actually laughing at how ridiculous the

This book was only 160 pages long and cost me as much as a normal sized book would. There were 4 chapters in this book that were a extract from another book in the series that I had already read. The words were bigger than in any other book by the author. I am struggle to see the point of making this book at all. The majority of story was awful. This series was so great because of the originality and the concept of the fallen angels/vampires. But the story is now becoming a Twilight knock off wh...
