One of the series that ignited our love for reading is Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz. There was something about the series that made us excited and feeling the need to reread it what seems like a million times over.
If you aren’t familiar with the series it tells the story of “an elite class of immortal vampires that secretly rules New York City. When one of their own disappears, they are faced with an existential threat: an ancient and evil breed of vampire has returned. Amidst this chaos, 17-year-old Sky, the first half-human-half-vampire, faces her own challenges as a newcomer to the prestigious Duchesne Institute. Previously exiled from the Blue Bloods, Sky must now find her place in this society — and as she does, she begins to uncover a rising evil that threatens the very existence of The Coven. The question is: will she be the savior of vampire society or its doom?”
It feels like we’ve been waiting our entire lives for someone to move forward with making these books into a television show or a movie. Every time we’ve heard about the possibility of it being adapted, it has never come to fruition.
But now, we have so much hope that it will move forward and actually be made. We have faith that something will happen as Awesomeness has launched development on Blue Bloods.
They have a writer. Jacquie Walters will serve as writer and executive producer. Also included as producers are Richard Abate and Katie Newman Krandel for 3 Arts Entertainment, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein for The Gotham Group, and Melissa De La Cruz.
In a statement, Walters said, “I am thrilled to be bringing Blue Bloods to life with Melissa and the teams at Gotham and Awesomeness. It is a rare treat to work on a project with such a loyal fanbase, and we have had so much fun reimagining this story for the present-day, as it is the juiciest combination of romance, mystery, and lore. Gotham’s passion paired with the exceptional vision of those at Awesomeness make a dream team to bring this story to the screen.”
If we’re being honest, we truly can’t wait for this seriess to happen. We feel strongly that it is one that needs to have a lot of patience and care – as the books are just that good. They deserve an adaptation that is worthy of them.
De LaCruz has faith in the adaptation. She added in a statement, “I am so excited to bring my beloved Blue Bloods series to life with a stellar team at Awesomeness, Gotham, 3Arts and our incredible writer Jacquie Walters who understands my story and characters deeply. Cannot wait to see them on screen at last!!! LFG!!!”
We can’t wait to see what happens. Are you a fan of the book series? Let us know. Sound off in the comments.
