'Blue Bloods'

From : The Telegraph

Peter Ingham on the latest batch of sci-fi novels, including Black and White by Jackie Kessler and Zombie: An Anthology of the Undead .

Take a bunch of adolescent Manhattan socialites, add vampirism to the mix, and the appeal is obvious. The youngsters at a private school learn they are part of the old-money lineage of vampires that rule New York society. But just as they become aware of this, another, more powerful creature is hunting them and rendering the undead dead. For all its 300 pages, Blue Bloods is merely the exposition for further novels to be published and ends on an unsatisfactory cliffhanger.
