The ending definitely leaves you hanging for the next book, but it keeps you sated enough until you get around to the third book. The writing didn't seem to flow as smoothly in this one, but it didn't make me like the story any less. I think that was De La Cruz's way of still showing off her knowledge of that stuff. I have to say that the amount of pup culture references are definitely cut down drastically in this one - but Bliss and Schuyler modeling just seemed out of place. Schuyler's character is more fleshed out this round, and she's definitely an intriguing heroine for our story. The mystery man at the ball adds a little intrigue as well. Jack's infatuation with Schuyler is still there, and it seems to be getting stronger - especially when Schuyler returns with her conduit Oliver and her grandfather just in time for the masquerade ball. I'm really trying to like Mimi, but she makes it impossible. There's more on Jack and Mimi, their history and their upcoming bonding. We start learning about her past and who her true mother is - which is a plot twist in its own. Bliss' story also gets more deep and complicated. Show More book is a good follow-up with a lot more explanations and deeper explorations into our characters and their histories, as well as keeping with the history of the vampires. Although I will say that this book had more depth than the first book. Just remember these are books to read for fun and really aren't all that deep. All in all I really enjoyed the book and am eagerly awaiting the next book. I also thought that this book was more linear and didn't jump between characters in a way that was as distracting as the first book. I thought many of the characters really filled out in this book. I happen to enjoy fashion so I find these parts of the book to be interesting and entertaining.
There are a couple good fashion shoots that Bliss and Schuyler attend and some discussion about style and fashion in general. This book is also a fun read if you like fashion and reading about the elite. In this book you feel like things are kind of building to a climax as you find out more and more about the Silver Blood taint within the Blue Blood community.
The tension between Oliver/Schuyler/Jack and Jack/Schuyler/Mimi continues to make things interesting. It was nice to see Schuyler doing something productive and really taking the initiative. There is a lot more plot and things move along at a fast clip.
I like this book better than the first book of this series. Will Schuyler find what she seeks? What will happen to Mimi as she walks a darker and darker path? Also a mysterious new kid, Kingsley, enters the scene. Meanwhile the Blue Blood community is planning the Four Hundred Ball and at Duchesne School Mimi is planning an exclusive after party. Schuyler travels to Italy with Oliver in hopes of finding her grandfather she hopes he can help her figure out how to fight the Silver Bloods.
