OK I'm speechless this story is awesome, it is like a mix of Gossip Girls, history, and Vampires that don't shine (not that I have anything against it). I really enjoyed that if you were to put Vampires in New York I can see the reality to this book. So on to the main character Schuyler (which I didn't know how I say it until recently I saw somewhere that it was SKY-Ler). Schuyler is an outcast the "reject" I hate that word, but it totally fits, she's the girl in the background with one friend Oliver, mother in a coma, Grama who's is just plain weird isn't it just the perfect fairytale??
Mimi is Manhattans "B" a word that I will leave only to one letter, and should not be stated. Mimi is the popular girl with some mystery to persona, and she has one weird relationship with her brother James.James I have to tell you something "Oh James you came and you caught my heart" the man of mystery the vampire Hottie. James may be Schuyler's only hope to be normal lol I'm JOKING!! :)
Bliss is the out of town-er who is trying to fit in, but with the wrong crowd. Oliver Schuyler's BFF I dunno, but there's something that rubs me the wrong way with him.
These characters are all different and all with their own personal mystery. I adore this book from start to end it caught my heart after chapter 2. This book had great transition I was never confused on what character point of view it was. This book was well written, and the cover to die for. I'm actually thinking of getting the UK book as well I think I like the cover better.... Weird I know. If you like mystery, vampires, and drama then this book is definitely for you. Any vampire fans will love they way this book is well written, unique having a different view on vampires, and just the characters they are so easy to like. I bet each character will remind you of someone you knew or know presently. I adore vampires they are my weakness, I am now addicted to Blue Bloods..... Oh no I'm honestly yet to understand how I'm going to afford an addiction like this. As I said before I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes Vampires, Drama, Mystery, and some Historical background to the idea of vampires origins.
