Blue Bloods has the makings of a very addicting series, but it fell flat to me. The premise of fallen angels turning into vampires in modern was interesting but it wasn’t enough for me to enjoy it. I more or less skimmed through to find out a bit of their history. The story was merely an info dump of knowledge, no story-telling anywhere to be found. I dislike books like these where I want to be shown as a reader how the story goes from one plot point to another. There were too many character point of views and I didn’t even get a sense of personality from any of them. I didn’t really care what these characters were wearing either and why is everyone supposedly slim and tall and model-like? No varied beautifies either. Maybe I’ll give the second book a try, I do have the whole series and it’s such a waste if I don’t at least give it another chance.
