What can I say?
NOT what I expected. Not in the LEAST what I expected.
Not that I know what I expected but it sure as hell wasn't this.
Flutter was...I don't even know what to say. It was amazing.
It was like being tossed into darkness and falling towards light and knowing it was dangerous but doing it anyway.
Flutter is a story of a Princess by blood and character who faces what she has to and fights even when she doesn't understand anything....more

Instantly, the reader is set up to know that there is a bigger picture here. We know that we will be taken on a wild ride to discover what the heck is going on. We are given very little information about the how and why of her parents murder. Just that ‘they’ are after the Princess for her powers. Ohhh…I wanna know why!
By the next chapter our little Princess is all grown up and frozen in a body of water. Her hottie/wolf/ Prince Adan is searching for her. Why? We don’t know yet. The author seamlessly takes us through her panic and claustrophobia with just enough panic and dark humor to let me know that Sara is a girl I can love. Honestly, I was laughing out loud at some of Sara’s inner monologue with “Other Sara”.
Sara obviously escapes her ice prison (wouldn’t be much of a book if she didn’t ehh?). We follow her and her watcher/uncle Andres through the woods. They encounter a series of amnesia induced (caused by being frozen) mishaps. Don’t worry the wolf/prince saves her! As you can tell by the slashes littered throughout my character description, each character has more than one face that they take off and put on as needed. Other than Sara, who has no she is a Princess. And no this is not a product of her amnesia. Her watcher has kept this info from her all her life.
The characters are the right amount of complex. Not too complex that the story gets bogged down by trying to figure out which face they are going to wear from moment to moment. Just complex enough to keep the reader engaged. Each character, main and minor alike, is all given a sense of humor and every one seems to have an actual place in the story. No random filler characters here.
The author’s voice is the strongest when she is writing the scenes between Adan and Sara. The chemistry between the two literally jumps off the page. It’s hard not to get drawn in and fall in love with Adan. The bad boy/good guy. He could be all alpha hotness (hello, wolf) but he’s not over kill. He has that uber cool, sexy, sarcastic, hot, dangerous vibe without feeling threatening to the heroine. Awesome stuff, considering this is very firmly a young adult book. The kissing scenes are intense but the author stays on the YA side of the line. While the future books may, and very obviously can, venture into “new adult” Flutter is safe for younger readers.
The ending was great. It was just enough of cliff hanger to make me want more but not so much so that I was unhappy and mad that the author left me hanging like that. Nevermind…she left me hanging like that. BOOK 2 where are yoooouuuuuu?
My only real criticism is that there is a lull in the book. It’s very short. It was a chapter where I thought (much like Sara) “ahh am I ever going to figure out what is happening her.” Alas, it’s a series I will have to wait for some of my answers….
As a reviewer, I review on content alone. Spelling, editing and formatting errors never effect my overall rating score. I do this for both indie and traditionally published books. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that my copy had editing errors in it. Well the first half. I downloaded the older version…there is a newer updated version that is a lot cleaner (which the author sent to me! Thanks!). It was nothing so serious that it took away from this ROCKING story. Mostly it was consistency errors, which we all know are easy to make. An example: the author switches back from using “My Wolf” to “my wolf” throughout.
This book has saturated my facebook profile. My personal and blog pages have been Flutter’d since the end of August. Look at that cover how could I not beg her to give me a copy (which I did)? I was impressed that it held up the hype. It is every bit as good as the cover suggests. This is another case of I WANT the second book NOW!(less)

About the book/story. The story is good. The idea of what she was writing about was interesting and could become a really good story/series. However, the way this first installment was written was B-O-R-I-N-G. I literally skimmed over words, sentences and paragraphs looking for anything interesting enough to read! Why did I continue to finish the book if it was so painful to keep reading?? Because like I said, the story of itself is good and I was desperately hoping it would pick up. Just didn't think I would have to wait until 82% later to get there. Anyways, the main female character is a typical teenager, except, she is a major whiner! The main male character for Sara is very intriguing and interesting to follow along with. Sara's Uncle, he was also a pretty good character to follow. There are a great deal of grammatical errors in this book to seriously mess you up when you are reading along. To the point of making you feel like you slammed into a wall and then shake your head asking WHAT?! You will have to reread alot in this story to get beyond these errors. Also, the way it is written with skipping over some major key points in the story also makes you stop reading and reread what you just went over. There are many breaks in the story like this. You don't have a clue as to what the "bad guys" really are or "why" they are after her. You don't get a sense of a lot of things in this story that are essential to keep you intrigued to keep reading. It is confusing and makes you question a lot of it. I think Melissa needs to add more information in her stories about WHY things are the way they are instead of repeating the same boring things over and over and over again. Too much thinking from the characters causing you to get droopy eyes and loose interest.

Over all, I truly do believe Melissa has the potential to become a really good Author. I will look out for her next books, however, I will wait for the reviews of others first.

I will have to deny my recommendation on reading this book. (less)

He was trying to fight something stronger than himself.

Was it really losing if he never really had a chance to begin with?

He couldn’t change the past, but can he rearrange destiny?

At the start of the prologue I was transported into the story. So much detail in the Authors writing you could feel the pain of losing the Kingdom "Everything they had built, the world they had created for their daughter, was being destroyed out of anger and greed."

I guess I should follow the saying of "don't judge a book by it's cover" cause this one had a pretty cover but the story was like a jumbled blob of thesaurus words. Honestly, with all of the hype that was on Facebook, you would think that the book would live up to the cover... but it didn't. I guess I can give her props for at least finishing and writing a book. Not all people can do that, although it isn't impossible.
And I found Sara to be a bit annoying. She really frustrated me. The editing in this book was.... I don't even know what to say. It wasn't good and seemed really amateur. I just don't think that this book would be good for teens because of the larger words. They would get confused. It's supposed to be YA, right?
But I will say that Adan was a dream boy... a bit cocky at first but he was okay with me. Not sure if he made the cut for book boyfriends though.
I do agree with another reviewer that there were a ton of unanswered questions and it pissed me off cause I thought I would get them sometime in but I didn't. It bothered me. There were a lot of things about the book I didn't like but I guess the main thing was the hype. It didn't live up to what I'd expected-- but we all have our expectations. Mine are just VERY high and I don't understand how someone can be a dragonfly...? Just doesn't really seem okay with me. A fairy, yeah? But a bug... yuck.
But I will read the next book. Hopefully I find answers that will make the book worth while and hopefully some of the grammar is used correctly next time around. Some words just didn't go... certain parts did too much for me.
At the end of the day, this is far from a 5 star book. I understand the great amount of effort authors put into their books but this one I just couldn't connect with. If anything, the highest number of stars for it is really 3... and the 3 says it's okay.. but I fell a little beneath the 3 and went for about a 2.2 in the star area.(less)

Queue time jump to present day, where Sara awakes to find herself literally buried with confusing secrets and things that shouldnt be possible. After a dramatic return to the world, she returns home with her 'watcher' and guardian Andres, but the secrets he is keeping build a wall between them, and in classic fairy tale fashion, this only allows the bad guys to get closer. Not to mention the confusing appearance of the swoon-worthy Adan, who's electric presence feels a little too familiar, and who is keeping a whole bunch of secrets himself.

To be honest, I'm kind of stuck with this one. I do love Sara- she's funny and feisty and although she seems to have a habit of fainting or falling asleep conveniently, she doesnt seem like your average damsel in distress. Adan is a babe- you sometimes find with these 'one and only' couples that they become a little too absorbed in each other, and spend the whole time trying to sacrifice themselves for each other, needlessly pining over each other, or making themselves miserable in order to misguidedly save their love. I loved that their relationship remained full of flirting and light-hearted banter despite the slightly heavier moments between them. I slightly struggled with the idea of him being almost 20 and her being 18, not because of the age difference, but because at times i felt like they were acting a lot younger- how long they wait for their first kiss, the kind of party she has etc.

I think the thing that i found hardest to believe was how much Sara was kept in the dark for nearly the whole book. There are quite literally mountains of unanswered questions that she doesn't push herself to try an figure out- not her connection to Adan, not her abilities, not what Andres is hiding, not about 'her wolf'... the list goes on. While she does make it clear to Andres that she isnt happy about being kept in the dark, i think it would have been more believable if she'd actually gone out of her way to try and answer the questions herself.

I think that the paranormal aspect of the book was original and interesting, but again, i wanted more of a clear explanation even if it was just for the reader's benefit... i found the opening scene confusing, and i was left with a slightly unsatisfied feeling when the questions were only partially answered at the end. I think that the highlight of the book was Adan and Sara's relationship. For the rest of it, i just wanted a little more continuity and clarity. Plus i sometimes felt like Sara was massively missing the obvious which was slightly annoying.

Overall an enjoyable read, and i am interested to see how the series continues- i seriously cant wait for a little more Sara/Adan scenes, and getting some answers to my remaining questions
SPOLIER:
[like who the fuck is this counsel and why do they get to keep everything from everyone, and why is Adan's mother such a bitch?] (less)

First, the good. I liked the idea of the story and think that it had some unique ideas. The characters of Sara and Adan were interesting and relatable.

Bad things:
- There were any sentences in book that told the same thing repetitively. BUT lacked sentences that could give us even a small concept.
- Rules are broken. What the hell are those rules?
- Okay, we could not know about Sara until end because she herself didn't know. But why the hell is Adam a suspense? He has his own POV in some parts of the book, and in none of that is it written what he is. What is the idea of writing his POV then when he cannot tell us what he is in the first place?
- The e-book I read had lots of pronoun errors and other grammatical faults.
- Sara's character needs to be very strong.(and by this I don't mean her power should be strongest, although that's the case).What I mean is I read the whole book and still could not decide whether she was a fighter or a victim type. Her emotions were pendulum and she cannot decide a single thing. She seems like a spoiled child. I had no respect towards her and couldnot really even admire her or sympathize her even the plot suggests you do. The book totally failed to bring out feelings from me except frustrations.
- In maximum cases the descriptions and plot scenes are so muddy, i couldn't even visualize the scenes.
- What the hell was that about whole drama regarding Scott, except a way to feel pages? There is nothing said in the book that suggests she even has a mild feeling towards him and suddenly he is there as if he his her first love.
- Very very little character description. At least the lead should be a little observing,no?
- By reading the book it seems like Sara has no care to what other think except what she thinks, even if she is playing with other's emotions.I think i'm repeating points, but hell, give me a lead whom i can connect to.
- The book gives readers nothing to go on, except a whole lot of nonsense drama.
- Very very poorly written(less)

I loved the first couple of chapters (ultimately being the reason I went ahead and purchase the book) but after that, things just got confusing. Our main character is left in the dark about a lot of things until the very end of the book, meaning that we, the readers, are also left in the dark for that long. Little things were explained but nothing ever really made sense. I didn't understand Adan's role in the book. Sadly, I felt lik...more

(He's not a vampire FYI) I was disappointed at how little the Sara and Adan scenes were, but when there was one they were intense which made up for the lack of scenes. There was this one scene where Sara was egging on Adan using her boyfriend Scott and I had never laughed so hard at one time! I was desperately heartbroken finding out Adan had a fiancee' and I was furious how he led Sara on that way and didn't tell her about it, I mean shouldn't relationships be based on trust or something.

By the way if you can't tell by how much I LOVED the book with all the quote that I'm going to post I feel bad for that.

"If that's the way you base your greetings, I can't wait to see the welcoming I get when I walk inside your bedroom." He laughed out loud when I blushed and leaned against the bookshelf facing me."
"I'm always fighting for you, fighting to keep you, fighting to be with you, fighting for you. It's a fight every step of the way."
"That was a hell of a kiss spitfire." He laughed when I blushed. "Are you trying to kill me?" (less)
