Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz

I'm reading the book "Blue Bloods" by Melissa de la Cruz. The book is about fifteen-year-old Schuyler Van Alen who lives in Manhattan. She has never quite fit in at her exclusive prep school where the glamorous and secret vampire elite, Blue Bloods, rules. After a night out at the club the students are being called to the auditorium where they're being told that one of the girls from Blue Bloods has been killed. Everyone's really upset and rumours starts to go around.

The writer is really trying to separate the fabulous life of the Blue Bloods from the normal teenage life that Schuyler lives in. The Blue Bloods are really glamorous, they have expensive Versace clothes, they would never dream about walking outside without make-up and fixed hair while Shuyler is more of a vintage girl who wears cheap, old and comfortable clothes and doesn't really care about what she looks like. I think that Melissa manage to do this quite well, I haven't gotten so far in the book but so far, so good. She's also trying to capture the excitment about boys and doing things that you're not allowed to do like sneeking out at night and getting into clubs.
