What this book is about

Schuyler Van Alen, fifteen, is part of New York's social elite without quite knowing why. When she starts to develop blue veins under her skin and an unusual hunger, she discovers that the Knickerbockers are not merely old money—they are the Blue Bloods, vampires who have been reincarnating for centuries. When members of the clan begin dying, the mystery threatens everything the blood families have built. De la Cruz's glossy New York vampire series is fashionable, fun, and propelled by genuine plot mechanics.
