After Death by Melissa de la Cruz

5.0

This series had me slightly questioning if it would live up to the main Blue Blood Universe, and boy, was I in for a treat! I somehow ended up loving this universe and the characters so much more than the first books! I did just finish reading the main series for the first time (although I've had them on my book shelf since I've been in high school), so everything was fresh in my mind. I absolutely LOVED how Oliver played out and how he ended up going down with Lucifer for Schulyer. I love love love Shulyer and Jack, so this universe made me feel all warm and fuzzy. The "new" Mimi, aka Max, is a character I actually found myself to like instead of the main series where I just was irritated at her sass the entire time.
The Paladins were an amazing addition to the story and really kept you going. Honestly, if the series ends here, I would be happy! Everything seems *mostly* resolved in this universe. I also love how you find out Gabrielle gets to finally be happy with Stephen in this universe. There were so many great things. It was a good read, and I absolutely would love to read it again.
