A nice compendium and a few short extra chapters enlightening moments in the previous books. Not a necessary read but nice as a little extra content.

This was a fun book, a different kind of summary of the first 4 books. It excludes a lot of the negatives of the actual books (the weirdness with "age" of the characters, the heavy focus on being skinny, etc. I really enjoyed jt.

if you love Melissa de la Cruz's Blue Blood series, this one will be a very informative read for you. it's a guide to the world of fallen angels created by de la Cruz. :)

As a huge fan of the series, imagine the relief i felt how it explains what has happened throughout the series so i do not actually have to go through each book. A companion book indeed :3

Keys to the Repository is a companion novel to the Blue Bloods series. It is full of “repository” documents and companion stories to the first four novels in the series. It also includes the first two chapters of the fifth novel in the series, Misguided Angel.

I thought it was a great companion novel. There were “documents” pertaining to the first four novels that provided more information about things that were previously unclear or hidden from the reader. Some information in the documents is still missing and I can only assume that these details may be revealed in future books. I enjoyed the companion stories the most. These acted as sort of deleted scenes. Some were stories told before but now they were told from another character’s perspective. Also, cleverly, any editorial and/or author mistakes in the first four books were attributed to “repository interns” and were corrected.

If you are a fan of the series, you likely already have read and/or own Keys to the Repository but if you do not, it greatly compliments the series.

It was a great companion to the series i cannot wait to read mis guided angel as i just recently finiashed the van alen legacy too. The extra stories and backsgroung information on characters and terms provided a wonderful understanding of the books and i reccommen it for anyone who has read this series.

There are some really fun short scenes in this, parts not included in the books of the series, but otherwise it's basically a refresher course on what has happened so far.

Interesting, but it wasn't really a story. This was more of an information dump that had a few extra scenes from some of the previous books.
