With The Van Alen Legacy, Melissa de la Cruz takes her series and its characters to the next level. After floundering in Revelations, I felt as though the series' fourth book grabbed me in a way that none of its predecessors managed. Wow.
It's challenging to write a review of The Van Alen Legacy without revealing the secrets that make it such a great read. De la Cruz does a great job of advancing the already fantastic mythology of her world, in which Blue Blood vampires are fallen angels bound in a centuries-old battle with the Silver Bloods, corrupted, evil vampires led by the biggest baddies any author could adopt - Lucifer and his brother, Leviathan.
Readers should dispense with any preconceived notions they brought to the book. Secrets are uncovered, identities are revealed and new relationships are formed that will keep series fans on the edge of their seats. Schuyler Van Alen and her best friend and conduit, Oliver, are on the run in Europe after the murder of her grandfather. Her secret love, Jack Force and his sister Mimi have become Venators and are on the hunt for Schuyler and other Blue Bloods touched by the tragedy that marked the end of Revelations. Bliss is fighting the overpowering presence of The Visitor that possesses her, and her father Forsyth is jockeying for control of the Conclave. Each character faces a dynamic journey in this book that will not disappoint de la Cruz fans.
One of the best things about this series is that, as soon as I think I have the plot figured out, de la Cruz takes her story and twists it on its ear. I love it, and admire her plot-weaving abilities. Overall, this is a great read. For the first time in this series, I'm eager and excited to see what lies ahead for the characters. I can't wait for the next book.
