And she’s still a Blue Blood, despite not being Gabrielle’s daughter in this universe. Some things are very different, she and Oliver have different last names and families, and some things are weirdly the same: Schuyler has the same father, for one thing. This story takes place in pandemic-era New York, in 2020, and Schuyler is fifteen, in high school again. The premise is promising, and then it’s completely unfulfilled.įirst issue: world-building. This victory doesn’t come without loss, as Schuyler is forced to sacrifice her true love in order to defeat Lucifer.īlue Bloods: After Life takes place in a totally different world, with the Schuyler we know suddenly inhabiting the life of a different Schuyler, in a different year, in a vastly different New York. Schuyler is a compelling protagonist, and her adventures moved quickly from peril to peril, before ultimately she and her friends triumph over their devilish adversaries. I love Melissa de la Cruz! I’ve read a lot of her books, and enjoyed them! I particularly loved the Blue Bloods series, which was contemporaneous with a lot of supernatural romance emerging in YA.
I cannot overstate how disappointed I was by this book.
