A great twist of what was already a great story. I really look forward to seeing where this version takes us especially with the modern additions thrown in.
First, I’d like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book. I am leaving this honest review of my own will.
I absolutely love this author and pretty much every book she’s written. The narrator of this audiobook did a great job at keeping me engaged in the story as well.
Blue Bloods: After Life is the eighth book in Melissa de la Cruz's Blue Bloods series. It is not a standalone story, it is a continuation of a detailed and exciting fantasy that will keep you wondering what will happen next.
I was so excited to see this audio book and find out what would happen next to Schuyler. Her entry into a world gone evil was so well crafted and I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next.
The narrator, Taylor Meskimen, was a delight to listen to and she really made the story come to life for me. As Schuyler was forging her way in this new alternate reality she found herself in, the narration made it so easy to see in my mind.
I can't wait to see where this series goes next!
The last book I read in this series was in 2011 so I was a little afraid I might be lost but the story and characters came right back to me as soon as I started reading!
This was an interesting alt verse look at our vampire community. Some things are the same and some are very different but what will Schuyler do when she sees her dead boyfriend Jack alive and well but has no idea who she is? And who he is working for will chill Schuyler to the bone, what will she do in this new world when she realizes an old enemy is also alive and well in this timeline?
Taylor Meskimen narration does a great job at all the emotion of Schuyler and everyone else.
This made me want more and also to go back and re-read the previous books, if only they were all available on audio!
3 ½ stars
I received this book from the publisher Disney Audiobooks and NetGalley for a fair and honest review.

you're better than this.

When you’ve lost your soulmate and love, will your heart ever find its way back as you enter the multiverse? Incredible read and oh what a ride as we see our favorite characters: The Force Twins, Schuyler, Oliver, and of course, Kingsley Martin!
I love how there is always hope, even when all seems lost. The interactions between the Force Twins brought me back to the first novel, which was just as deliciously wicked then as it is now. As the author has matured, so have these characters, thankfully. I’m also at a different stage in my life and gone is the endless shopping at the mall and who looks better, etc.
The ending is too much of a turn on its axis in an “oh no you didn’t!” great way. I am so glad this book is a rewrite of the original series but better if that’s possible. Wait, it is!!
Special thanks to NetGalley and Disney Audiobooks for sending me this audio review copy in exchange for my honest opinions. Both the author and the narrator literally had me on the edge of my seat. A must-follow series!
Schuyler has defeated Lucifer, everything outside of losing the love of her life Jack should be okay. The world should be saved, but the world that Schuyler wakes up in is very different from the world she knew before. In fact not on is this world different in it Jack is not dead and very much alive. Yet when she learns that Jack is working right underneath Lucifer alongside his twin brother Schuyler questions if she will be able to find a way to save him and the world from the strange pandemic they seem to be suffering from. What are Lucifer's plans for this world? Can love prevail against evil?
It has been a very long time since I have read any book in this series. So my memory about the plot line and characters is very fuzzy. However Marissa does a great job giving enough context that anyone reading this book would easily be able to get just enough background to not feel like they are missing out or lacking enough plot line to grasp what is going on in this multiverse. I do love all the different twists and turns that you find inside this book. Overall it is quite enjoyable. The ending leaves you really wanting more.
Thank you so much Disney and Netgalley for allowing me to have an advance copy of this text.
