Had a lot of the good bones but kind of fell short for me. It’s not even that vampire books have been overdone, but this one just didn’t excite me as much as some of the other ones. I’m sure the other books will be better because there won’t be as much world building chunks of it, but I’m not interested enough to read another one.

3.5. A nice little vampyre book. I suspect the plot twists coming and will read the next to see how close I am.
A Write to Review
When settlers came over on the Mayflower in 1620 not all of them were human. Now as these vampires assimilated into the new world around them they were able to gain positions of power and influence over the society. This is the secret of the Blue Bloods and they do not want anyone else knowing it.
Schuyler Van Alen is not a typical New York City private school girl; she does not fit in with the prissy ‘popular’ people around her. But as she turns fifteen though things start to change and not in a good way.
The idea behind the book of reincarnating vampires who then have to remember their past lives is interesting. Unfortunately for me I do not think the author was able to pull it off to its full potential. All of the characters are spoiled and snobby making them difficult to like and relate to. Even the main character, Schuyler, being an outcast ends up conforming to those around her. She started off with this independent, almost relatable nature yet once loses that and submits to the pressure of the other kids. At least there is some mystery about who the killer is to keep the plot moving which starts to unfold at the end.
