New York's elite society is made up of more than just rich, entitled, old money. The blue blood in this society is ancient and it is vampire. Schuyler is fifteen and learning that the marks beginning to show on her skin, her ability to contol minds, her mother in a coma, and her new dog, all tie to one big secret. She, along with most of the teens at Duchesne, an elite private school, are young vampires.
Not long after Schuyler makes this discovery, she is also hit with the realization that something out there is preying on her kind. Her ancestry makes her one of the only people able to find the powerful being and put the killing to an end.
Great mix of history, lore, and heavenly beings. I had a good time with this story. I especially liked the twist they put on vampirism and the use of the Roanoke Island mystery. HOWEVER, this is a book aimed at the youth and I was not at all happy with ninth graders acting like they were twenty somethings.
