From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up—It has been 10 years since the war ended, and the surviving characters of the "Blue Bloods" series are living in Manhattan and other points around the world. Oliver Hazard-Perry is the head of the Blue Bloods Coven and is resurrecting the Four Hundred Ball. As preparations move forward, a series of murders shake the coven to its core. No humans have been killed by vampires since the war ended, and if a rogue vampire is on the loose, he or she must be stopped. The author has extended the story of the "Blood Bloods" series into those characters' adult years. She has included too much overview of the original series at the expense of delving into the new story. The only redeeming quality is MacLeod Andrews's narration. His variation with voices and the pacing of the narration will pull the listener along despite the constant references to events from the first series. Recommended for libraries that have the original series on audio. Otherwise, this is a supplemental addition to a public or high school collection.—Elizabeth L. Kenyon, Merrillville High School, IN
