After inheriting the dark Van Alen Legacy, Schuyler fled to Florence with her forbidden love, Jack. Now the two of them must embark on the mission Schuyler was destined to complete: to find and protect the five remaining gates that guard the earth from Lucifer, lord of the Silver Bloods.
Back in New York, Mimi has been elected Regent of a crumbling coven. Struggling with her heartache over the loss of Kingsley and with her overwhelming desire to destroy Jack, she must focus all of her energy on a perilous new threat. Vampires are being abducted and their captors are planning to burn them alive online...for all the world to see. Help arrives in the form of Deming Chen, a Venator from Shanghai, who must untangle the web of deceptions before the killers strike again.
As the young vampires struggle for the survival of the coven, they uncover a deadly secret, a truth first discovered by Schuyler’s mother during the Renaissance but kept buried for centuries. And as the Blue Blood enclave weakens yet further, fate leads Schuyler to a terrible choice that will ultimately map the destiny of her heart.
The Blue Bloods are back and they are fabulous
Hi everyone. Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz is the fifth book in the series of Blue Bloods. I love this series if you can’t tell. The way Melissa writes is awesome. In this book, she has four parts and the first three are with someone else.
We start off with Schuyler who is the main character as Sky is the character that the first few books were based on. Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz takes place a month after The Van Alen Legacy book left off with Sky and Jake leaving Oliver and Mimi behind. They are now trying to figure out where the third Gate of Hell is so that they are sure that nothing bad is happening to it.
Things I like:
- All of the characters seem so real. It feels as though I can actually talk to them in real life. Even if they are vampires.
- The author goes back and forth about where the book is leading up to in the past to the present. Like in the first book with the Mayflower stuff from Cordelia’s past life and we go off to the present time.
- They are vampires who have lived for a pretty long time. Yet, most of them are “teenagers” and some people don’t think that they should be acting like 50-year-olds. The way I think about this is that since they are able to relive all of their past lives and with that, I believe eventually it would take a toll on the vampire mind. Especially in Mimi’s case as she would need to be older to lead these vampires. That it will make the vampire act older and probably feel older than what they actually are. But that is just my idea for something like that.
I guess I don’t really have any dislikes….well besides the whole thing of that I just want someone to have a happy ending.
- I mean I was rooting for Dylan and Bliss. ;’( Still sad that Dylan is gone. He was such a good character.
- The second couple I am rooting for is Jake and Sky.
- Then there is Kingsley and Mimi. I mean Kingsley and Mimi are like so cute with their bickering. Or at least in my head whenever I was reading about them they were cute.
- I also wonder if maybe Abbandon and Azrael were just young and thought they loved each other when they did their bonding. Now that they are much older, maybe they might have found the people that they were supposed to fall in love with.
I think that Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz is crucial for the plot because we find out about a new type of species. Yes, there is more than just Angels, humans, and someone like Sky. We also find out about a new type of evil that our characters will have to deal with. I am also really hoping that Charles and Allegra get out of the White Darkness to help Mimi with the Coven. Also, that Mimi can find Kingsley.
I am in love with this book series and I am going to give this book another five stars.
