Here is my review on the book “Wisdom”. I have had the pleasure of having an advance copy so that I could put out a review for it. So here goes nothing…..

“My Blood Approves” is one of my absolute favorite series out there. It has love, hate, adventure, excitement, vampires, lycans, love triangles, and a whole lot of fun!

Well, we start off with Alice, Milo, and Bobby visiting Mae, Peter, and Daisy in Australia. They are getting a look at how Daisy is dealing with be More...

I'll start by saying that I'm thrilled that the use of "come/go with" has decreased significantly in this book, although I'll probably continue to cringe each time I hear that phrase from now until the end of time.

Other than that...Good thing I loved both the Twilight and Vampire Academy Series, because I've gotten a huge dose of both with this series. I guess those who will understand this review the most would be the ones who have read the Twilight and VA series. Those More...

4.25 stars. I picked up this series after reading about how good it was for only $0.99 on the Amazon discussion boards (where I typically get all my advice for new series). I started reading them the week before Flutter was released and I was not disappointed!

I have really enjoyed following the whole gang through their adventures and transformations. Another girl in my office and I were anxiously awaiting Wisdom's release and both started it about the same time. I was slightly More...

This is the fourth book in the My Blood Approves series. Preceded by My Blood Approves Fate and Flutter. The last book ended with Jack and Alice heading forward in their relationship pretty strong Peter and Mae with Mae’s vampire child leaving Milo with his human boyfriend Bobby still being themselves and Ezra moping. Alice Milo and Bobby go to visit Mae in Australia but things don’t go easily and it isn’t as great a visit as expected. They get terrible news from home and leave early. When they More...

This book was my most and least favorite book of the series. I mean seriously why does the auther think that Jack is right for her he's a lover and she's a fighter. I know oppisites attract but it was different when she was human but as a vampire they don't make sence. The whole book she is fighting with Jack and herself because she loves Jack but that's not enough. Sometimes love is just not enough there needs to be more and with jack there isn't. I seems that everything she does is wrong to hi More...

I thoroughly enjoyed the fourth book in the series. It has a lot more action, a lot more character development, and a lot less flip flopping of emotions, which drove me nuts in the third book. Alice finally chooses who she wants to be with, and though I was rooting for a different outcome, I'm content that she made the right decision. I feel like everything she felt for the other characters was less forced down my throat than in previous books, and I think that made the final outcome more real a 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...

Since I'm hearing there is a 5th book in the works, I won't say this is my favourite book of the series, but rather it's my favourite thus far :)

While Alice still struggles to find her new place in the world as a newly "born" vampire, she takes huge leaps and bounds into finding herself in this book! She is fast becoming a strong and self-sufficient kick-ass vampire chick that no one really wants to mess with :)

I still have a hint of frustration in that Alice is More...

Joellen * Smut-Dickted * rated it:

What struck me most about the latest in the My Blood Approves series is the evolution of Alice. She is at the heart of Wisdom. The title is appropriate - for she is growing in it herself.

Wisdom seemed to me to be a bit deeper than the past three books - more introspective, with more character growth than any other in the series. It is clear that Alice has left her teen years behind and is ready to embark on a young woman's life. Gone is the angsty feeling that defined her at moments More...

Well, we start off with Alice, Milo, and Bobby visiting Mae, Peter, and Daisy in Australia. They are getting a look at how Daisy is dealing with becoming a baby vampire. She is like all 5 years olds with temper tantrums, if she can't eat the human in the house, she throws a hissy fit. So, if she can't have the human, she decides that maybe Kola Bears might be a tasty treat. Then you turn around and she is coloring, looking cute as all get out, in her frilly dress and curly hair. Who ever said ha More...

Okay, so in a matter of two days I have read all four (currently released) books from the My Blood Approves series. I cannot say enough good things about these books. why? I'm not too sure I can put my finger on it. They draw me in, get me hooked, I want to keep reading to find out what happens, who loves who, who hates who, etc. The characters are all liable and you get to know each of them really well. Hard to do in a book. usually you get a good grasp on one or two characters and then the res More...

Is this the last book? It seems like it could be, but I feel that the situation with Peter was left unresolved.

I enjoyed this series very much, but I can't help feeling that something was missing in this last book. I didn't enjoy is as much as the others. Maybe it was the lack of sexual tension that was present in all the others. I didn't feel it here as much.

I couldn't stand the Daisy plot line. I was sad to see the state of Mae's character. I didn't enjoy where the More...

I was a little hesitant to read this book because one by one the books in this series have slowly worsened. This was not the case with Wisdom though and I have to say that it was probably my favourite in the series so far. There was a lot more action and mystery in this book which made it at times impossible to put down. The only downside was that the characters are still really annoying. I think the main problem with the characters is that Alice and J More...

*Spoiler Alert*

I feel that, as I have now read the fourth novel, and feel less frantic and more satisfied with life, I can give a review on these novels. First off,after I read Switched I knew I needed to read more of this amazing author. I am so happy I choose the My Blood Aproves series to go with.

Alice has a great best friend...or maybe not. One night Jane, Alice's best friend, convinces her to go out to a bar. They have fake Id's, everything will be great. But none o More...

I will not write a plot overview for Wisdom since so many other reviewers have already done so. I would just like to write a few random thoughts on the book as well as the series. My Blood Approves is about missed opportunities: Peter refusing to come to grips with his feelings for Alice until it is too late, Mae not realizing the scope or magnitude of changing a child into a vampire, Milo ignoring the fact that eventually he will break Bobby's heart, Lief running away from his children and More...

Like many of the the other reviewers, I picked up this series originally because of the cheap ebook download price, as well as the good Amazon reviews. For a quick read, I enjoyed it alot. I found it to be largely formulaic for this type of genre, but that personally doesn't bother me much. What I did enjoy was Hocking purposefully joking at the way other authors create their own vampire characteristics and back-history. (Alice laughs and makes a reference to TrueBlood, implying that Charlaine More...

This was much better than the last book. Still the same grammar, added/deleted words, etc. mistakes to get through, but the story was interesting, exciting, and hard to predict. As in the prior books, some of the conversations seem kind of off to me and a few of the characters are fairly one-dimensional (e.g. Jane and Alice's mother). But, I was so glad to see Alice finally showing a little initiative/ambition. Bobby and Alice are quite the combination, too! I'm not sure if I was supposed t More...

well it would seem that Alice is now the butch...and Jack has now become a sniveling bitch! GOD! Maybe Peter was not pussy enough for her! UGHH!! I really liked the first two stories but I could hardly stomach these last two...I felt extremely disconnected from all the characters that I had grown to fancy. Jack and Alice did really have a sweet relationship in the first two books, and it just seem to die off when Alice changed...I really would have liked to seen Alice have a go with Peter, s More...

Mae's decision to turn her five year old great great granddaughter has some catastrophic consequences. Ezra cannot abide Mae's decision, so she and Peter take Daisy to Australia to try to train her to control her impulses. When Alice, Milo, and Bobby visit them, Daisy attacks Bobby, and it is obvious that Mae has not had much success with her training. During this visit, Alice finds out that Jane has been murdered, and they return home quickly. Jane's murder is part of a strange serial killing t More...

This series has been added to my top 10 favorites without a doubt. This 4th book proved to be the most exciting, gripping, action-packed, unpredictable, intense and emotional of all the books in the series so far. The pace of this book was great and there didn't seem to be any boring moments or down time. In addition to Alice, I just loved all of the other main characters. They are all amusing and likable in their own way. This book had me focused, laughing, shouting, and almost crying at times. More...

Even after reading most of the first book in this series (My Blood Approves) I was skeptical about how much I would like the series as a whole. It does have it's similarities to Twilight, but in a lot of ways I think that gave it appeal to me. It had the same 'pit of the stomach' appeal that Twilight did. That feeling that just made you want to keep reading until the early morning hours.

I think the thing that set this series apart for me, was the way that Amanda Hocking managed to hum More...

I have to say I really like Amanda Hocking's books. This forth book is just as good as the last but this one actually had me holding my breath. My nook was running out of battery during the last chapter so I had to plug it in and stand in the kitchen reading the last few minutes. Totally worth it.

There are some deaths in this book but none that had me in tears. All expected but still sad. I think it was necessary in order to send Alice on her path in life. I did figure out the More...

I read all four books in this series in three days, so there was something compelling about them. In this last book, Alice struggles with the consequences of her choices, particularly the issue of what she is supposed to do for the rest of eternity. She matures in the sense that she begins to take more responsibility. All the wavering back and forth between Jack and Peter stops (though I wonder about her choice given how he was portrayed in this book). The child-vampire story line was intere More...

I think this book is refreshing..especially since lately we were surounded by vampire books.And I can't help but compare every book I read to twilight.I can say that this book series is nothing like twilight series.When I started reading it I liked it because everything was so unexpected, and I was suprised with the development of the story all along..so I think that is the best part of the book,you don't know how it will end.Although Peter is the character I loved more than Jack in the book, More...
