Misguided Angel (Blue Bloods, #5)

Soooo I'm finally finishing up the Blue Bloods series, I read the first four super quickly back when they were first released and then sort of... let the series go. It happens (I've got about four series to finish, and that's just of the paperbacks I own) and now I'm reading the series again.

This was a strange book for me, confusing. I couldn't remember what happened in The Van Alen Legacy, I don't know what Schuyler is doing, what the legacy is, how she and Jack have ended up on a boat, trying to escape, so it was all a bit baffling. But I reckon I've got a fairly decent grasp of what's going on going forward, so there's that. This did feel a bit disjointed, mind, because it focused on Schuyler and Jack, then went to Mimi, then went to this new girl Deming (who I loved) and there was no connection, well there was, but the stories didn't interlink with each other, like one review said it was like three short stories connected together.

I did however enjoy it once I got to grips with it, although I'm sure I'm still not 100% sure what is actually going on. Something to do with the devil? IDK.

I will finally get this series finished, I loved the first four books so much, they were some of my first vampire books, but I think I left it a little too late to really LOVE this series, because I am slightly confused and befuddled. I did LOVE Deming's story though. She was ace, although I was so sad about Paul. I actually liked Paul, and that whole storyline, with Mimi, was quite awesome and clever.

One day, when I don't have a humongous TBR pile, I will re-read this series properly so I can understand what's going on, because there is a LOT going on, these vamps certainly don't have it easy by any means!
