5.0 out of 5 stars !!! COULD NOT PUT DOWN !!! June 7, 2010

By L. D. Turner

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have purchased more books from Amazon than stars in the sky & have yet to write a review even though I rely so heavily on other's reviews. It's time to do my part & this series makes it so easy to do so! I literally lost a weekend because I could not stop reading this series & am anxiously awaiting the 4th book, "Wisdom" coming out in August! The characters in this book kept me so engrossed & I was caught off guard many a time... it was great feeling for a change! Um... I REALLY hate to says this but... I liked this series better than the Twilight series which I really do love. Only complaint is that the books were far too short -BUT- only because I didn't want to leave their world! I can't wait to read whatever this author graces us with!

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre vampire saga..... sorry November 7, 2010

By S.J. Wright

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I'm 40 years old. I've read the Twilight series and like most people, loved it. I've read a LOT of other vampire series. I've read classics. I've read a few adult vampire romances but prefer to engross myself in the tamer teen versions.

I'm a writer myself. So let me say this. While Amanda obviously has the drive to complete a complicated series, she needs more work on her editing skills and needs to plan out scenes a little more in advance. A lot of times it seems like she's going back almost immediately to explain questions that pop up in the reader's mind. She pulls explanations out of the air that really are not realistic (even in a vampire book).

After reading the first two books in the series, I was somewhat looking forward to reading the third book. Now I'm in the middle of the third book and so disgusted by the mundane amount of action and confusing character moodiness that I'm ready to close it up and start a different series by another author.

If you're reading this to try to determine if you should buy the book, I don't recommend it. If you're a fan, great. Keep reading. Personally, I'm going to wait until the author gets a few more series under her belt to start reading her books again. She has HUGE potential. But needs a lot of polish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than 2nd book June 4, 2010

Possible mild spoilers

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 definitly see why she does the things she does. I just don't like it.

This third book renewed my intrest in the series. I know Jack and Alice are together now, but I can't help but want her to end up with Peter. Everyone is heading in different directions at the end , and it will be intersting to see how it all pans out. If you lost heart with the series after the second book, you should give the third book a try. The action was an added welcome, and there are a lot of questions that still are left to be answered. One that is really bothering me is about Alice. Why does everyone want her? EVERYONE likes and/or wants her. I know there must be something special about her, so I hope that it is brought up in the next book. I am anxiously awaiting the new release in August!
