Readers Annotation: What if one day your life changed forever just like that? You feel sick and then everything you thought was true is not. This happens to Schuyler.

Schuyler is being raised  by her grandmother who is a wealthy woman but does not have a loving nature about her. When one day Schuyler starts to feel ill, her grandmother and doctor tell her a change is coming and she must start to attend a prestigious school. She begins to crave meat, have nightmares and flashbacks. At a meeting, Schuyler finds out she is a Blue Blood or vampire. With this new identity, she is accepted by different people and a whole new world opens up for her. The Blue Bloods are being threatened by a off shoot called Silver Bloods. Who will win?

Review:
This book has a different approach to vampire fiction. Instead of something or someone changing you, it is simply in your blood. The Blue Bloods have been around for centuries and live multiple lives. This is a different but interesting look at this genre. Teens and tweens will enjoy the trill in this book and series.
