The Van Alen Legacy

Melissa de la Cruz.

If you're a fan of vampire novels, you probably know all about the Blue Bloods series, of which The Van Alen Legacy is the fourth book. If you've been reading the series, you know it's impossible not to read this book--to find out what happens to Schuyler and Oliver as they're on the run from the Conclave, to see if Mimi and Jack finally bond forever or if Jack follows his heart, to see if the Silver Bloods can overtake the reign of the Blue Bloods. Have no idea what I'm talking about? Start with book one, Blue Bloods, and you'll quickly be caught up in the world of the modern vampire, which may be unlike what you've read in the past. Face-paced and page turning, The Van Alen Legacy, like the other Blue Bloods books, leaves the reader on the edge of their seats as new secrets are revealed and new heroes (and villians) emerge.
