In the final book of the Blue Bloods series, Schuyler,
Oliver and Kingsley are doing all they can to protect the final gate that leads
to Paradise. The Covens have all been disbanded and are hiding underground.
Jack and Mimi have disappeared and the rumors are spreading that they’ve
returned to the Dark and Lucifer. Bliss has found the wolves that will help the
Blue Bloods in their battle for Heaven, but they are stuck outside of the
passages of time.
Jack and Mimi, have indeed joined with Lucifer again, but as
those who read the last book know, it’s only to play double agent so that they
can break the bond that they have to each other so that they can each be with
the person they love. But their plan seems to be backfiring, because the
Morningstar knows all. Jack is sent to kill Schuyler and Mimi is sent to kill
Kingsley. There is no way that they can get out of it. And as I was reading
this book, I was going crazy trying to figure a way out of it for them, but I
was coming up with nothing.
It didn’t look good, and as the final pages rapidly passed
by it got bleaker and bleaker. Especially when Jack started to act like his
true self – Abandon the Angel of Dark. I’ll be honest when I saw Jack act like
his Dark self, I was intrigued. This was the Jack that I remembered from the
first book, who was intriguing and mysterious. But while we’re on the subject
of Jack and his bad self, can we talk about Schuyler’s reaction to him being
evil? He confesses that he’s no longer her Jack and what they had was all false
and that he feels nothing for her, and what does she do? She sacrifices herself
to him! “Take what you need. I’m yours.” I’m sorry…but if the twist hadn’t been
thrown in there near the end, I would have been like – girl, you totally
deserved your death.
Anyway, the last 100 pages of this book were an emotional
roller coaster and just when I finally got my breath back, cleared the tears
and calmed my heart, de la Cruz throws in the final chapter that deals with
Oliver and Schuyler’s half-sister, Finn. I’m sorry, but when exactly did Oliver
become a vampire?!
…Oh, you mean there’s another book series dealing with Blue
Bloods coming out in September? Well…okay then.
Final Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. I’ll admit that I was with
those people at the beginning who said that this was just a mash up of Gossip
Girls and Vampires and who’s origin stories were muddled and confused. Vampires
who had been Angels? Preposterous! But after seven books, damn. It was just
amazing.
Bookshelf worthy? I still own the whole series, even this
one.
