I have been eagerly awaiting this book and pre-ordered it so it would be delivered on release day. So worth it and the only bad thing is having to wait for the next book! If you have not started the Blue Bloods series it's one you should definitely check out. For those who are already fans of the
The story line
Mimi is now regent of the New York coven and she is on a rampage. She wants Jack killed but she has to put vengeance aside when a Blue Blood teen is kidnapped and someone sends her a link to a video showing the teen tied up and a message saying that she will be burned to death. I suspected who the killer/kidnapper was but why he/she was doing it will leave you intrigued and wanting to know more in future books. There are also little excerpts of Venators back in the 15th century hunting down silver bloods and end up finding humans that are marked with the sign of Lucifer. You are given hints as to what is going on but not the whole picture and how that ties in to the murders in present day.
The Characters
I loved this book but I've heard some people were disappointed that Schuyler and Jack did not play a bigger part. They are off in Europe searching for the gates and trying to evade Mimi's bounty hunters. They uncover another mystery but we do not get any answers in this book.
I was a big fan of Mimi, she is one of those characters who is so bad and yet you can't help but be fascinated by them. It was great seeing a softer side to her in the last book but in this one she is on a rampage. She wants Jack hunted down and killed for leaving her for Schuyler. The kicker is she did not even want him anymore but after losing Kingsley she admits if she can't be happy in love why should anyone else be?
Deming is one of her coven's best Venators and comes to New York to help Mimi track down the kidnapper/killer. She seems like she is going to be an interesting characters in future books and I can't wait to learn more about her.
Overall I found this book fascinating and there is a lot of set up for exciting developments in future books. It's going to leave you wanting the next book right away!

series one thing I did not realize going in is that Schuyler and Jack do not play at much of a part in this book. Mimi is the primary character and she ends up teaming up with Oliver and Deming, one of the Chinese twin Venators that we briefly met in an earlier book. Together they have to try and track down who is kidnapping blue blood teens and burning them to death while streaming it live on the internet.The story line

I really enjoy this series it had been getting better with each book but this one just seemed to be missing something. She started the storyline about Jack & Schuyler then seemed to forget about it only to go back and give us a couple pages that seemed like an afterthought.
I did like Mimi in this
I look forward to the continuation of this series I just wish this one would have been a little longer because I feel that I missed out on so much of Jack & Schuyler’s story.

book she grew alot and became a little more likeable which is a big step for a character I once called unredeemable. I also really enjoyed the character of Deming and look forward to more of her in the next book. The storyline with the Conspiracy was interesting and sometimes made me giggle how she shows all the stuff they made up to fool the red bloods. Mimi & Oliver’s storyline was good and it will be interesting to see where that goes.I look forward to the continuation of this series I just wish this one would have been a little longer because I feel that I missed out on so much of Jack & Schuyler’s story.

This is the fifth book in the Blue Bloods series by Cruz. There is a novella due out for this series in December 2010 called, Bloody Valentine; the sixth book is going to be titled, Lost in Time, and is planned for an October 2011 release. This was the weakest book in this series by far. The story
The book starts with Jack and Schuyler and we get a brief glimpse of them escaping captivity and taking off to try and find the last gate. We don't spend much time with them before Cruz switches to telling the story from Mimi Force's perspective. Mimi is now leading the Conclave and trying to solve a crime involving an internet video that shows a vampire being burned alive; if she can't figure out where the information is being leaked she is in trouble. The Conclave is threatening to take the vampires back underground. After hearing about this for a while we switch to another perspective, this time from a new character named Deming Chen. Deming is a Venator from Shanghai that is trying to help Mimi solve this case.
Jack and Schuyler don't get much page space and this is disappointing. Blyss is left out of the story completely, leaving me puzzled as to what has happened to her. It does look like Cruz is trying to expand the storyline by telling more of it from Mimi's perspective and by adding in the new character of Deming. Mimi is quickly becoming a favorite character of mine; as a reader you begin to sympathize with her in this book and learn more about why she is who she it. Deming looks to be a promising character and brings some interesting background to this story.
As with all of Cruz's book this book was well-written and easy to read. I just felt like Cruz is either running out of ideas for this series or confused about where she wants to take the story. This was such a short book and briefly touched on a number of things without really advancing the story. Very much a transition novel.
Overall I have really enjoyed this series, but this book left me somewhat disappointed. I don't feel like much happened, it was kind of boring, and I felt like this was more of a transition book or a book where Cruz was confused on where to take this series. So, it was okay but not great. Hopefully the sixth book is better because if the sixth book is like this book...well then I am not sure I will keep reading this series.

that he will not allow anything or anyone to come between them. Speaking of which, Mimi in this story was quite a revelation. Her character development has reached a wonderful note. She is no longer just the spoiled rich kid or just the avenging azrael who demands the death of abbadon, her twin and bondmate for several lifetimes except this one. She is a woman who fell in love, real love, with Kingsley Martin. She is a woman who has learned to think of the red bloods as more than a food source. She is a woman who, as the regent, has the future of the entire New York coven on her shoulders. Enter Deming Chen, a Chinese venator, who will help Mimi with this new threat facing the coven.

There is a two fold to what I like about this series. What I like is that it doesn't follow the same characters throughout the whole novel - the chapters switch perspective, which can be good. The reason I don't always like it is because the timeline doesn't always seem to fall together cohesively enough for my brain to make sense of where I am. There are times where I felt out of place in the story, which was confusing.
In the end, the plot I was most interested in was the mysterious vampire slaughter going on back in the states. As much as I may love Jack and Schuyler, their plot just wasn't pulling me in this go around. Deming Chen, however, really interested me. I'm not sure if it was because she was a new character, but I was just super into all the plots that revolved around that.
Overall, this was a pretty good installment in the series. Sometimes I do wonder how all these events are going to play together - what once seemed slightly simple in the first few books suddenly seem a lot more complicated.

I liked that Bliss wasn’t around, not that I don’t enjoy her character, but for too long have there been 3 point of views which got disruptive. In Misguided Angel, we start with only chapters of Schuyler and Jack and then a batch of only Mimi, which some historical snippets along the way… we aren’t pulled to the 3rd character until Deming comes to New York to help Mimi and she isn’t overbearing nor annoying to ‘listen’ to.
I was a little upset that again all of the story lines are kind of left hanging, but there was a good tale that did end and had a great twist at the end. All of the pieces are slowly coming together and I have the next one from the library already, going to start reading soon.

believe Jack abandoned his bond with Mimi for a relationship with absolutely no spark. My favourite part of the book was the section that followed Mimi. She's the only character- along with Oliver- who seems to be developing and reacting to her sitatuation. I don't really understand why a third of the book followed this random character called Deming- we learn nothing about her and she adds nothing to the story.
