The Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz is a YA vampire saga set among the wealthy elite of Manhattan. The premise reimagines vampires as fallen angels who were given a chance at redemption by living out human cycles of reincarnation. The Blue Blood families are among the most powerful in New York, their ancestors having arrived on the Mayflower, and they keep their true nature hidden behind a veneer of prep school privilege and old money.

The series follows Schuyler Van Alen, a half-human, half-vampire teenager who never fit in at her exclusive private school. When she discovers her Blue Blood heritage, she is pulled into a centuries-old conflict involving the Silver Bloods, rogue vampires who drain other vampires. The original seven-book run (Blue Bloods through Gates of Paradise) was followed by companion material, a graphic novel adaptation, and a continuation starting with After Life (2022). The franchise has sold millions of copies worldwide and a television adaptation has been in development.
