An interesting time warp of Blue Bloods series that sets everything in Covid NYC. First in a new series. Basic.
So much better than the last blue bloods novel. Love the flip in the story. Way better than vampires of Manhattan
After Life is the latest installment in the Blue Bloods series, but it’s one that can be read without reading the previous books. I read the first few a loooong time ago, and since so much time had passed, my memories had faded and it was like I was coming into this book as a completely blank slate. While to some degree, knowledge of the previous books wasn’t necessary, it did feel like readers would benefit from knowing what had happened, and who the characters are. Much of the book revolves around Schuyler realizing that she’s in a multiverse and coming to terms with how this new world she’s superimposed herself onto differs from the world she came from.
Again, while the book is touted as a novel you can read without first reading the others, I did feel like I was missing out from not being well-versed in the previous books, since a lot of time was spent remembering the past and Schuyler trying to reconcile it with the new world she’s found herself in. Also, I feel like if I weren't a fan of the TV show "The Flash", I would have been a lot more confused about the multiverse concept, and that it should have possibly been explained a little more thoroughly in this book. Not all young adult vampire book readers are knowledgeable about physics or comic books!

#netgalleyarc I started reading this book as a sort of obligation as I’ve read all the ones before it, and it didn’t go I to it with high hopes, but I enjoyed it and would read others if this series continues. This book has a Marvel/multiverse feel and a parallel to the Covid 19 pandemic, things that shouldn’t work together but some how do. The original series went on for awhile and became very derivative but this new addition makes it feel fresh.
