This book is unapologetically awful, but not offensively awful. 
 Honestly, this book is part of a trend from many years ago, a cross between million-installment series about rich manhattan teens at an elite school and vampires. And it does not hold up. Oh boy, it does not hold up. 
 It depends on name-dropping a million designer labels, all of the outfits mentioned sound tacky, the teens never just hang out and talk, they are constantly spouting exposition. The book is all show-and-don't-tell, nothing is done subtly, and honestly with it's page count it had room to drag out some character development. What bugs me most about the plot of this book is nobody grows or changes and we're following like six characters throughout the whole book. Schuyler (Literally my least favorite creatively-spelled name, sorry to any Schuylers out there) is supposed to be our main character, she is barely effected by what's going on round her, which is great because neither was I, but she has no hobbies, no talents, no personality traits I can think of. She's just pretty and goth enough to seem brooding but not so much as to be isolating to any kind of reader. She also doesn't care about how she dresses so much that we are treated to paragraph-long descriptions of exactly what she's wearing. Mimi was awful but at least she had a consistent character, shallow and predictable as it was. Bliss was so fucking boring my eyes glazed over. The male love interests maybe fill about a page of dialogue between the two of them. 
 This is a book that pretends to be just scandalous and edgy enough that I would have loved it when I was thirteen. 
 These are the worst vampires I have ever come across. Mythologically speaking. The reincarnation-bullshit does not immortality make. At least with Edward Cullen he acted his old age (creepy but at least you understood that he's been alive a century). In Blue Bloods, all the vampires are teens, bratty, immature, horrible teens. They have none of the angst of an immortal, isolated creature (dear god did I just list a lack of angst as a negative? That's how bad this book is). There's none of the power. There's X-Men abilities at best. But nothing really badass or fun. 
 There is just no action in this series. There's also no memorable characters. Or convincing romance. Or humor. Or a compelling story. Wait, why was this book popular? 
 Here's my biggest problem with the book; the plot centers around the destruction of the vampire race and how all of them are being hunted, but what we don't get is why we should even care about any of these people. The entirety of the book is just vampires showing off how needlessly rich, dissatisfied, entitled, and elitist they are. 
 The vampires are basically the one percent. And we're supposed to feel bad about it when they die. 
 You do not recommend Blue Bloods, you make excuses to read Blue Bloods.
