Blue Bloods 3: Revelations by Melissa de la Cruz
Have you ever wondered what secrets lurk behind the closed doors of New York City's wealthiest families? They're powerful, they're famous... they're undead.
Schuyler Van Alen's blood legacy has just been called into question--is the young vampire in fact a Blue Blood, or is it the sinister Silver Blood that runs through her veins? As controversy swirls, Schuyler is left stranded in the Force household, trapped under the same roof as her cunning nemesis, Mimi Force, and her forbidden crush, Jack Force.
When one of the Gates of Hell is breached by Silver Bloods in Rio de Janeiro, however, the Blue Bloods will need Schuyler on their side. The stakes are high; the battle is bloody; and through it all, Carnavale rages on. And in the end, one vampire's secret identity will be exposed in a revelation that shocks everyone.
I loved the first two Blue Bloods books and I'm really excited that I've finally read this one. Revelations was just as good as the first two if not better. In Revelations the author described the characters more and you got to know them a little better. The whole story was fast past and so many shocking things happened, I can't really say much about the book because I don't want to give anything away. The end was kind of a cliffhanger and I really wish that the book was longer because it left me wanting a lot more. I can't wait for the fourth book in the Blue Bloods series. If you haven't read the series I definantly recommend it, especially if your a fan of the vampire genre. If you have read the first two definantly make sure that you get Revelations because its amazing and it adds so much more to the story.

Undone by Brooke Taylor

When Kori Kitlzer, the “dark angel” of the 8th grade, tells Serena Moore that they are more alike than she thinks, Serena is instantly intrigued. As their friendship solidifies and their lives entwine, Serena tries to become more like the fearless, outspoken, and ambitious Kori. Soon Serena doesn’t know where she begins and Kori ends. But when a twist of fate yanks Kori away from Serena, she will need to find a way to complete her best friend’s life left undone.
Undone is a striking debut novel about friendship, family, and the secrets we keep from the people to whom we are closest.
I've heard so many great things about Undone from authors, other reviewers and friends so I was really excited to finally get a copy. I'm very happy to say that i was not disappointed. Undone was a completelyamazing. The story was completely down to earth and felt so real. At one point in the book I did cry and I think that when a book can make me emotional it is totally worth reading. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good book about life and growing up you should definantly read this.
