Summary:
Schuyler Van Alen is starting to get more comfortable with her newfound vampire powers, but she still has many unanswered questions. A trip to Italy in search of her grandfather only serves to make things more confusing. What secrets are the leaders of The Committee hiding? Meanwhile, back in New York, preparations are feverishly underway for the famous Four Hundred Ball. In true Blue Blood fashion, the ball is totally fab, complete with masks, and hidden behind this masquerade is a revelation that will change the course of a young vampire's destiny.
Review:
Masquerade was even better than Blue Bloods. The characters are better developed, the plot is more intense, and we get more of the Blue Bloods' history. The addition of the knowledge of the Silver Bloods adds another layer of intrigue. I really enjoyed Schuyler dressing up for the dance, and the intrigue surrounding her relationships with Oliver and Jack.
Just One Gripe:
All of the focus on the rich blue bloods gets a little shallow at times.
The Best Thing About This Book:
The character development.
Appropriate for a younger audience:
Yes
