Blue Bloods 3-Book Boxed Set by Melissa de la Cruz
1.0
This was so appallingly bad I wish there was a way for me to give it less than 1 star, but whatever:
1. I do not live in NYC, but I do not feel I have to live in NYC to know that Melissa de la Cruz is absolutely, 100% full of shit if she wants me to believe that NYC is as milky white as it is portrayed in this piece of garbage the world is forcing me to call a 'book.'
2. No, but not I wish I was exaggerating; there is not a single person of color in this ENTIRE book. In New York! People of color just somehow DON'T exist! In New fucking YORK!
3. I guess only white people can be rich and socially prominent????
4. ?????????
5. NO ONE IN THIS BOOK MAKES SENSE.
6. Characters are just CONVENIENTLY THERE, serving as narrators and DOING NOTHING to speed along the plot. NOTHING! And the fact that they do nothing makes complete sense because these are not characters but just mouthpieces to further Melissa's BULLSHIT agenda.
7. Jesus fucking Christ, Melissa, you make Cassandra Clare Pulitzer worthy. You make J. K. Rowling look like her world building makes sense, like her plot holes don't exist, like her #white feminist and #not like other girls agenda aren't persistent issues in her books.
8. I genuinely think the person who edited this book, along with the publisher, hates Melissa because there is no way anyone who cares about this sad excuse of a BOOK and AUTHOR would have ALLOWED this nonsense to be published like this.
9. Why did no one tell Melissa that changing point of views at RANDOM in the middle of CHAPTERS without even making a NEW PARAGRAPH was not a good idea? This is especially jarring when every single character sounds the same, because everyone in this book is just a three or four personality traits poorly sealed together with pretentious as fuck name.
10. Augusta Carondolet. Oliver Hazard Perry. Schuyler van Alen. These are ACTUAL names! In the book!
11. WHY.
12. W H Y.
13. I was gonna keep on going but I'm already tired and honestly, what the fuck. What the FUCK, WHY WAS THIS PUBLISHED.
14. Actually, I'm a little sad that this concept of vampires was wasted on Melissa, her editor and her publishing company, because it's actually really cool. VAMPIRES are actually fallen angels? Expelled from Heaven? Michael and Gabriel willingly fell to guide them to Paradise once they've completed their penance on Earth? Sign me the fuck up.
15. As long as Melissa isn't writing it! Which, unfortunately, she is.
16. Also, I can't finalize this without saying that as usual, everyone is str8 4ever and ever, I guess. Gay people, just like people of color, do not exist in this book.
