Blood-addicted, in hues of Blues, of course! 
It seems like ages ago when I randomly picked up the first book in the series and immediately  got hooked. Vampire themes were everywhere back then but it seemed like something set this story apart. Vampires in this book were not the savage bloodsuckers we know but classy A-listers living in Manhattan or the Hamptons and vacayed in places like the Swiss Alps or St.Tropez. They rode limousines, owned TV Networks and other lucrative businesses and carried last names that appear bold-faced in buildings. The sun didn't scare them. Of course they were also very beautiful and very powerful, but also fragile at the same time.

Masquerade and Revelations are the 2nd and 3rd books in this series. It's where things start to heat up as the love-angles between the character become muddled.
They were fallen angels: supporters of the Dark Prince (Lucifer) who were punished when they dared take over Heaven. As a punishment, they were bound to live on earth as Vampyres finding ways and working towards regaining the lost Paradise (Heaven). I've always longed for a nice back story of the origins of vampires and that's exactly what I found in Blue Bloods. I mean, they couldn't have just popped out of nowhere, could they? 
These parts broke some hearts.
The story is set among the new breed of the Blue Bloods in a prep school, in NYC and there's so much to love about pretty young things who are just in the cusp of discovering their powers. The adventures took off, spanning eight books to regain Paradise and go back to the Heavens where they belong. Not an easy task when your enemy is Lucifer himself, who apparently has not gotten over with the idea of taking Heaven for himself and his supporters.

And this is where we fight back and win!
The story is very current yet it has the perfect blend of lore that we've always known as little kids. It tugs the heart and yet never fails short of kick-ass female leads. Of course, I hope the talks of turning this into a TV series would come to reality. For now, the books will suffice. and yes, rereading. :)

Ever heard of the first commoner to marry into the royal family of England?
Lay down that weapon Lady! Elizabeth Woodville threatens the Edward IV of England that she will cut herown throat if he forces himself on her. 

A tasteful serving for all historical-fiction nuts such as myself : Our favorite part in English history comes to life with the screen adaptation of Philippa Gregory's bestselling series - The Cousin's War, a histo-fiction account of the Wars of the Roses from the point of view of women who played important roles in its midst.  The series is set in the 1400's when England plunges into a civil war : the supporters of the two opposing houses of the Plantagenet Dynasty symbolized by roses- White for York and Red for Lancaster battle it out for the crown.
