- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5this one was just okay, mainly letters and just summaries of the previous four books. Nice as an add-on, but not necessary for the series. 2.5 stars
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Here's the thing, if you're curious about the series but not quite sure if you want to follow it, you can start with this. It's gives you a fair picture of de la Cruz's interpretation of Vampires. I, personally, am impressed more than anything. She really owned it not just with the history and mythology but came up with terminologies and jargons to accompany the story. That in my book is astounding, you can tell that this world is very real to her and de la Cruz was, and hopefully still is, inspired when she conceptualized the series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a great companion book to the Blue Blood series. While this book is not a new story in the Blue Blood series, it provides background information on the characters, the Blue Blood society and their legends. This book gives you a great overview of the series and the main characters in the series, even providing new detail to characters you thought you knew all about. I loved how this book was organized, with files on each characters and on the Blue Bloods myths and then Melissa de la Cruz would have a short story after each file to go along with what you just read. I really loved the short stories that go with the book series. It was great seeing some events from different perspectives, or learning more about a characters life that Is unseen in the actual book. Having not read the Blue Blood series in a while, this book helped to refresh my mind about what has occurred in the last books and made me extremely excited for the release of Misguided Angel. I loved learning more about the characters and seeing, in a way, how Melissa de la Cruz formed this complex Blue Blood series and created all these characters. This book is a must read for any fan of the Blue Blood series who wishes to learn more about the characters and events that take place in the books
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is suppose to be a companion novel for the series and I can honestly say that it did not tell me anything I didn't know. However, the best part about it was reading the reports made and actually knowing what someone said when questioned by the blue blood council. If you love the series then you should read this novel.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A short little book to fill the spaces between Blue Blood novels. While not a novel itself, Cruz gives us a few glimpses into the history of the Blue Bloods, as well as the characters we know well (and some we don't). She also includes a few short stories, which are fun. Especially the one about Bliss and the Hounds of Hell (or whatever they're called), which is potentially a new (and exciting) series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I didn't think that I was going to be interested in this book. But, I found I was very interested in the background of all the characters. It was a great read and filled in some of the gaps.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When I first read about this book I wasn't too excited since I'm not a big fan of companion books to series I enjoy. However, when I was offered the chance to review it I thought why not give it a try. I'm am glad that I did. It is filled with "files" on each of the main characters giving more background of which angel they are, their conduits and character observations. There are also short stories that fill in gaps from the rest of the books so we get to see more of Dylan's background, meetings between Jack and Schuyler and what happened between Kingsley and Mimi that brought them closer together. The best part in my opinion was that we get to a glimpse of Cruz's next series, Wolf Pact. It is just tantalizing enough to leave you wanting to read more and I cannot wait for the first book to come out. The book closes with the first two chapters of Misguided Angel just to wet your appetite for its release later this year. I would highly recommend this series for anyone who is a fan of the Blue Bloods series. It has me wanting to reread the entire series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Contrary to what I originally thought this isn't the next book in the Blue Bloods series, instead it is a kind of companion to the series. It is a good addition to the series and has some great stories in it.This book is an conglomeration of a variety of things. There are some great short stories that fill in missing pieces. We get a story about Schuyler and Jack's first rendezvous at the house where they meet secretly. Another story about Schuyler and Jack's last meeting from Jack's point of view. A short story featuring Bliss that introduces De La Cruz's new Wolf Pact series. And another story that tells up what happened to Dylan Ward for the time he was missing earlier in the series.In addition to these stories there are short profiles on all of the different members of the families. Appendices discussing all of the side characters and all of the canine familiars. As well as an appendix going through terminology.Overall the stories were good, the extra information was interesting. It made me realize how complicated this series has gotten since I picked up the first book in the series and thought, huh well that was a pretty simple story. I would say this is a must read for fans of the series. I really enjoy De La Cruz's writing a lot and love this world she has created.This isn't necessarily a book you need to own, although the appendices are nice to have for reference when reading the series. I would recommend buying it used or getting it from the library unless you are a super huge fan and need to own the whole collection.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is probably just something to keep the Blue Bloods fans happy while we wait for the real next book. :)It's pretty neat, though--a summary of the series so far (as told through repository reports and notes), plus short stories and scenes from different characters' perspectives.It was definitely fun, but for the serious fan only. Otherwise, I think you'd just be annoyed.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Eeek - this is one of those horrible books that contains short stories and interesting facts about characters. It isn't a proper book at all.I personally have a deep hatred of short stories. I never read them. I avoid them like the plague.There were a few tidbits of interesting facts I enjoyed reading. For the most part, however, I skipped the short stories and skimmed over the diary entries and character descriptions. It took me about 10 minutes to finish.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a great companion to the Blue Bloods Series! I loved the backstory on all the characters and cannot wait for Wolf Pact and Misguided Angels.It was really interesting to get the little snippets of stories from a different point of view and the between the books insight.The thing I like about this series is the premise, it is fresh and innovative and a great take on history. And this book gave us (fans of the Blue Bloods Series) even more to chew on while we wait for the next book and the new spin-off series with Bliss.I liked the humor some of the records have like in Kingsley’s records where he puts in how gorgeous he is and Renfield believes the records are tampered with then an aside by Kingsley to say yes indeed he did tamper with them.I do however wish the map on pages 162 & 163 would have been a one-page map as it is hard to read with the crease in the middle of it.All in all this is a great companion to the series even if only to refresh your memory of what has happened in the previous books.4 Stars
