My Guilty Pleasure

     Since I've recently bashed the guilty pleasure of the masses, I figure it is time to reveal one of mine.  I told you all that I have no shame and I truly mean it.  Mine may be even worse than Fifty Shades of Grey! Okay, so here it is, it's Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz.  It's not even an adult novel, it's a teen vampire series.  See I told you it was bad and a slight bit embarrassing! As shameful reading goes this should be at the top of every ladies list.  I say lady because I'm not sure the other gender would buy into the storyline.  When I tell customers about it I say that it's a vampire version of The Gossip Girls with a little bit of religious lore thrown in.  Sound confusing? Well it's not, it's delightfully intoxicating.  An awkward Schuyler Van Allen is starting to change, but into what?  There is always an awkward girl but she is so in a very endearing way.  She is forced into the vampire elite with very little history as to why.  You are slowly let into her past.  Her present is whirlwind and her future is uncertain.  To put it simply it's book crack and the 13 year old girl in me soaks it up. It is an easy read and the story moves fast to keep you turning the pages.  Don't be sad when you finish the first one because there is a total of 7 books for you to indulge in (all 7 are out so no waiting required).  And don't worry, if I see you reading I won't tell :)
