Bloody Valentine by Melissa de la Cruz

Bloody Valentine:
The Blue Bloods have powers beyond human comprehension: strength that defies logic, speed that cannot be captured on film, the ability to shape-shift, and more. But in matters of the heart, no one, not even those immortal vampires, has total control. In Bloody Valentine, part of the best-selling Blue Bloods series, author Melissa de la Cruz offers three tantalizing stories that delve deep into the love lives of the all-powerful vamps (and their Red Blood friends) from New York's Upper East Side. Might a witchy new girl help cure Oliver's broken heart? How did Allegra fall in love with a human? Will Schuyler and Jack finally be bonded?

Romantic and sensual, Bloody Valentine reveals the undying love, the hope and devastation, and the lust and longing that have defined the Blue Bloods throughout history. Prepare to be swept off your feet.

This was a short but sweet addition to the Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz. It gives us a brief history of Allegra and Schulyer’s father, her and Jack’s bonding ceremony and some resolution for Oliver. They were brief stories and I found myself wanting more because I was enjoying them so much. I was getting a little tired of this series, but this little novella has re-invigorated my interest and I can’t believe it’s almost at an end.

Oliver is nearing the end of his control. He’s missing Shuyler and the bond they share between familiar and vampire. Then he meets a mysterious young woman who changes everything for him.

Allegra is sixteen and trying to live her life without the constant control of the Blue Bloods, and while she pushes her intended bond-mate away, she finds herself falling irrevocably for a Red Blood.

Schuyler and Jack have difficult times ahead of them, but they want to celebrate their love before meeting those challenges. But danger has followed them and threatens to ruin their special day.
