Schuyler Van Alen wants an explanation for the mysterious deaths of young vampires. With her best friend, Oliver, Schuyler travels to Italy in the hope of finding the one man who can help--her grandfather. Meanwhile, back in New York, preparations are feverishly underway for the Four Hundred Ball, an exclusive gala hosted by the city's wealthy, powerful, and unhuman--a true Blue Blood affair.
But it's at the after-party, a masquerade ball thrown by the cunning Mimi Force, that the real danger lurks. Hidden behind the masks is a revelation that will forever change the course of a young vampire's destiny.
Rich with glamour, attitude, and vampire lore, this second installment in the Blue Bloods saga will leave readers thirsting for more.
I read this book in less than 8 hours. It was amazing. I Love how questions were answered and the two major cliff hangers at the end. However, I am concerned about the third book. It says its only 256 pages. Maybe there will be a fourth. Anyway, back to Masquerade, so much happened in this book. It takes an amazing writer to create a world in under 700 pages (combining Blue Bloods and Masquerade). De La Cruz has made the second better than the first, which we have to admit, rarely happens. Can't wait until October 28.

The first book in this series was a little slow, and for the first third of this book I feared it was going to have the same problem. However, over the course of the book, the series really heats up. The plot thickens, and the pace picks up. If you can get through the first book of the series, you will be rewarded; Masquerade is a good read.
