**Warning - Spoilers included in review**

Alice is finally a vampire now!! Jack turned her at the end of the last book. Now she is trying to control her blood lust. Because Jack was the one that turned Alice, it broke the "blood bond" with Peter and now she has a blood bond with Jack in addition to the bond they shared before. Alice and Jack are so happy at the beginning of the book together. Jack has been wanting to turn Alice every since the first book. The only problem is More...

Amanda Hocking's Flutter has a lot of “biting inside one’s cheek,” “tucking one’s hair behind one’s ear” and “coming with.” Believe me, I counted.

Now that Alice has turned, you’d expect things to go better for her: better looks, fewer pounds… a smoother love life. Yes, to the the first two; she shot up two inches in a matter of days, her complexion improved, and over all, she became hotter. Her love life, however, lives a lot desired. Despite being turned by jack, her body/blood st More...

I'll be honest and tell you that I pretty much skimmed through the last 15% of the book because I got bored.

So, Alice is still being her fabulous self. At first she and Ezra are going after Peter who is on a suicide mission. First he refuses to come home with them, but after two and a half words from Alice, he changes his mind. Her bond with Peter is gone, but that' doesn't stop her from kissing him for god knows what reason. Later in the book, Peter throws this in Jack's face and Ja More...

Reese rated it:

I have mixed feelings about these books. I believe that I may just be out growing YA novels. This series is interesting because although I get provoked into annoyance with the heroine, there is something the author has done with the story to have me groan, but keep reading on to at least finish what I have started.
Hocking has amazing potential as an author, but I believe that more education would be beneficial to broaden her vocabulary. She has very witty phraseology, but if I must endure More...

So this is the third in the series of My Blood Approves. It picks up where the other left off. Peter has jumped ship - again - but this time my heart was sad to see him go. I feel sooo bad for that boy. Alice is trying to get a handle on her bloodlust in order to take her relationship with Jack to the next level. Milo has a boyfriend. Soooo then Alice goes with Ezra to save Peter from some lycans (no not werewolves but vampires who live like animals with no humanity left in them). Ezra makes a b More...

Flutter pretty much lives up to its name, considering I was pretty engrossed and invested in this book! There is a major development to the story line as new characters are introduced, offering even greater back story and character depth. There is such a smooth transition too. LOVED the portrayal of Peter. Like the last book, I had a difficult time setting it down. I am all too anxious to get my hands on the next book.

Flutter picks up where the last book left off. Jack turned Alice More...

I am happy to say that I really enjoyed the third book in the series My Blood Approves. Flutter has a lot more action and less all around depression. Alice is now a vampire, and she and Jack are a couple. Shortly after the book opens, Alice and Ezra go try to save Peter from a suicide mission. Peter returns home with them and the love triangle is still a big issue. Milo has a human love intrest, and I was glad that he finally got over Jack. Mae really got on my nerves in this one, but I can defi More...

I'm glad I read this book as I think it compliments the rest of the series. My biggest problem is that I don't think I enjoy Alice as a Vampire, especially the weakest in the bunch. So it wasn't really the book, it was mostly a character who happens to be the main one. Plus some of the other characters were out of character in my opinion. Mae was acting terrible, and the in the end really disappointed me with her selfishness. Jack also felt out of character to me. Some news he found out later in More...

Ok, so I'm just going to start by saying that I have this problem. My problem is that when I start a series or trilogy or just a book with a sequel, I won't write my review until I'm like finished, because I just cannot stop reading for the like of me. I read all four of the my blood approves books in three days because I just didn't want to stop, so I've kind of been procrastinating with writing this review....

So to start, I think that these books were REALLY good. I mean there were More...

Well, the author does it again and I just have come to really not like Alice. She is a stupid finicky little girl who one minute is going to love ____ 4-ever, but wait a minute, now she is not over _____, oh, but hold on again now she loves _____. UUGGH!!!! Fine, I get it, it is the formula that works for books, keep the reader guessing, on the egde of their seat, reading on to see who ends up HEA. BUT I dont think the author does a very good job transistioning between the love interests, it More...

Carie rated it:

I felt rather disconnected from most of this story. The writing was kind of disjointed and choppy and had a very detached feel. The story seemed rather anecdotal at first and didn’t really come together very cleanly. I’m having trouble feeling a real connection to some of these characters, too (e.g. Mae). The characters flip all over the place—-their behaviors don’t seem consistent, so they don’t seem very real. Jack seemed rather remote for most of the book—-except the part when he came ba More...

You would figure that after my sterling review of Fate, (yes that is sarcasm by the way) I would have realized that this series could only get worse. I don't usually pay attention to reviews, but in this case, I should have. I must have some serious issues with torturing myself with bad editing and verbages throughout the book that make absolutely no sense. How did I actually end u More...

2.5 Stars! I have to admit I struggled through the majority of this book. I am struggling with the review a little as well because it wasn't necessarily a bad book but at the same time it wasn't a great book either. The writing did annoy me a little throughout and just about all the characters annoyed me at one point or another. The book was saved by the last few chapters although a few of those scenes disturbed me a little. This series is weird in t More...

One and a half stars, which is my overall impression of the series so far.

The grammatical errors are impossible to ignore, in fact they've increased as the series has progressed, which I think is inexcusable.

My initial admiration for the author getting her work out there has shifted to irritation that she's made a lot of money for work that is glaringly flawed, obviously through lack of care in editing.

I feel uncomfortable with how Hocking has written Alice's More...

Honestly, I thought the story was ok enough to read three of the books in the series but I'm not interested enough to continue. The main reason I have no desire to continue is that I seriously can't get past the horrible editing and grammatical errors in the series, but this book in particular. There were at least three times in this book that Hocking says one character drug another character along with them. Last I checked the correct word is dragged not drug when describing the act of pulling More...

I loved this book. Fate made me tear up, this one didn't really. But this book had me laughing at some very funny lines and I absolutely adore jack. I like Peter a lot too and kinda feel sorry for him :(
These books are the best books I've ever read as far as romance and non stop action is concerned. I never feel the urge to skip ahead to the good parts because every part of every book is really good.

I was slightly disappointed with the jack and Alice sex scene just because it c More...

let me just start off with I LOVE PETER! and if Alice doesn't want him I'll gladly take him lol. Ok now that I got that out of the way I enjoyed this story, but honestly the people in this series need to learn that running away is not the answer Peter has run away now 2 times working on his third with Mea which is upsetting I really think Mea made the wrong choice and is going to suffer for it. Jack has run away once but he had to figure things out and came back after 3 days but he wants to move More...

I have really been enjoying this series so far, but for some reason I felt a little detached from this book. It wasn't that the story was bad or anything like that. I just felt like it was a "floater", like I was treading water with the characters until we get to whatever is coming up in book four.

Don't get me wrong, there were interesting developments and character insights that were crucial to the story. I was always interested in what I was reading, it just didn't hol More...

I'm reading this series so fast that all the books are starting to blur together! But that's not necessarily a bad thing. There is so much going in in this book, I don't even know where to begin or end. But here I go anyway....

From the description it's obvious that Alice has ventured to the point of no return. But we all knew that was inevitable. In this book she's struggling with trying to get a handle on her new life and accepting everything that's going on around her.

With every book I finish in this series, I become more critical. Alice's constant back and forth between Jack and Peter makes me want to slap her. It's like the author wants to keep the love triangle going because it creates tension, but she doesn't really know what to do with it. What started out as interesting is becoming annoying. Alice's "best friend" is someone she doesn't even seem to like, and who doesn't seem to like her. Mae, the perfect mother figure, has completely change More...

I had the same problem with this book as I did the previous one in the series. Don't get me wrong, It's a good story, but I found myself distracted by the errors. There were more of them in this book than the other's and I was left wondering if she was just in a hurry to get this one published.

I found myself skimming the last 25% of this book, only stopping to read the conversations between the characters and if it wasn't for wondering if Alice ends up with Peter, I would drop th More...

Somehow, my view of this book/series just took a nose dive. I still believe that Hocking is a very talented writer, she has some great thoughts and the premise behind this story is very good - something different from the standard girl meets vampire story. THAT I like very much.

But, maybe I'm just a fair weather friend, because when something happens in the story that I don't like, I lose interest. Mae is really starting to bother me. She seemed like the mother that Alice never More...

I've enjoyed the entire series. I gave it four stars because the storyline was great. I was invested in the characters and really wanted to find out what happened to them. She kept the storyline moving. The series was quite unique and completely different from Twilight.

However...

her writing is just not that good. The first book was fine but I just anticipated her writing growing with her as she continued the series, but I was disappointed. I saw no growth.

Better than the last one but the main character still annoys me with her inherent oblivious-ness (I am aware that's not actually a word). Plus I much prefer Peter to Jack so I hated how much she swooned over the latter for 99.99% of the book (I liked the other .01%). Milo, Peter, and Ezra made this book worth the stars it got but Jack, Alice, and Mae should have lowered the stats even further. Only the first three character's possessed redeeming qualities throughout the book (at least for me). U More...
