Blue Bloods is a series that Melissa de la Cruz wrote that contains seven books in the series. The series ran from 2006-2013. The big finish was when Schuyler defeated Lucifer but losing her love, Jack in the process. This book picks up with Schuyler transported to an alternate universe. For any Marvel fans out there, think multiverse. Things are the same but different. She now has a mother and a father, something she always wanted. Of course Jack doesn’t know who she is in this world and Mimi is now Max. Both brothers are now fighting for Luicfer instead of against him. Can Schuyler defeat Lucifer again? Can she fight against Jack or even worse, can she lose him again.
This was was not for me. Full disclosure, I had never read the previous books, so I was completely unfamiliar with the series and the characters. Most of the book was rehashing the old series with Schuyler lamenting how different things are now. Perhaps because I wasn’t already invested in these characters, I never really felt anything for any of them. I didn’t feel like they were full characters and with no development, I wasn’t invested. I get that Schulyer loved Jack but for this story, I had no real interest in whether they ended up together or not.
The story was almost non existent. I’m not sure if this is meant to kick off a new series (probably) and so this serves as an introduction to the new world, but it sounds pretty much the same. Lucifer bad, good should defeat bad and love conquers all. Change a few genders and hair colours and it seems like window dressing. Still, I could have been interested, if something actually happened to make me care about either the characters, the love story, or the good vs evil. We didn’t even get into the vampire stuff that could have been interesting. Schuyler was given blood so never hungry, never bit anyone = boring vamp. The action didn’t even begin until after I was 80% of the way through the book.
I will probably go back and read the first in the series, just to see if what all the hoopla was about the first time around. I was really disappointed because I had heard so much about Melissa de la Cruz and was looking forward to reading her stuff. I”m hoping this was a one off and that she is as amazing an author as I had expected. ( )
