See, these vampires aren't nice vampires who fall in love with humans and live happily ever after in an Edward-Bella fantasy. There have been instances when a blue blood, (a vampire) has fallen for a red blood (one of us, or a muggle as I like to think of it), but those instances don't turn out well for anyone. For instance, the main character's mom has been in a coma since she refused to drink blood after falling in love with a human. So she messed up her life, her daughter's life, her twin/true love's life, and her mom's life.
The thing about the blue bloods is that they don't live forever as in their bodies don't die, they live forever as in they are reborn over and over and over again and retain memories of past lives. There is some angel mumbo jumbo mixed in somewhere but I just skip to the fun parts. Something about angels sinning and being forced to live on earth. But who really cares? Some of them have bondmates, or someone they are destined to be with in all their lives. If they don't match up with their bondmate then they will die. Enter Schuyler, the half breed (or in my twisted mind, a purple blood. or violet. or lavender. I haven't decided yet). Her mom, mentioned above, decided to marry a human and instead of having a child who would later discover she was some ancient reincarnation, had a child who was just half vampire-half human. Lovely mix, ain't it? Anyway, Schuyler is just starting to get symptoms and is thrown into this world of spoiled rich people who will never really die. Some of the occupants of this world are Mimi and Jack, bondmates and twins (not as incestuous as it sounds). They are the angels of death and destruction, respectively. Mimi is that mean girl who always gets her way and Jack is the carefree rich boy who always gets the girl because he is so darn good looking. Angel of destruction always had a thing for Angel of Something Good, Schuyler's mom, in past lives and now is no different. Except he falls for Schuyler who also has a sort of crush on him. (It's not like she can help it, he's really hot.) And of course, there is the mandatory best friend with a major crush, Oliver, who is not a blue blood but involved in the world. And Bliss who is just really mysterious but nice and annoying too. I just kind of ignored her until she mattered in the plot.
What I'm trying to say is that this series is totally awesome, different, and unique. It's Gossip Girl meets Twilight, with only the good parts from each. (That means no where near as many curse words as Gossip Girl and no cheesy plot like Twilight).
5 stars. 6 stars. 7 stars. I think you get the point.
