My Blood Approves #3
Flutter
Being undead doesn't make life any easier for Alice Bonham.
Her younger brother's love life is heating up, while hers is... more complicated. Mae is falling apart, her best friend Jane is addicted to vampire bites, and if Alice doesn't get her bloodlust under control, someone will end up dead.
Alice volunteers for a rescue mission with Ezra. But going up against a pack of rabid vampires might be too much, even for him.

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 Jack leaves. 3 entire days later (I know, I don't know how either of them survived that long without each other) he comes home, tells her he can't live without her and asks her if she wants to run away with him (they decide to move out and start looking for a place to stay) they try to have sex, but are interrupted, AGAIN. But like, one chapter later Alice gears up in sexy lingerie and Jack gives her some sweet lovin'. Which really didn't live up to my expectations, with all the close-but-no-sigar-moments they had, I was ready to explode.
In the meantime, Mae's nervous breakdown is still going downhill (I felt like slapping her), and I understood she turned her great granddaughter into a vampire because she didn't want her to die. Or something. Good luck with telling that abomination why she can't go to parties. Or have a boyfriend. Or do anything that doesn't involve watching purple dinosaurs on TV.
My prediction about Jane becoming a streetwalker wasn't that far off, apparently. Instead she became a happy blood hooker, addicted to the bite of a vampire.
Milo almost killed his boyfriend, Jane almost got killed by her boyfriend, Peter almost got killed by a rogue vampire pack, Ezra almost got killed by said rogue vampire pack.
Either way, I'll keep on reading, bring on the next one please.

Next on "drama-rama"...
I have such a mixed opinion on this series. On one hand I think the vampires here are an interesting concept. I like the humor and lack of supernatural angst, making it kinda laid back there.
Problem is, though, the plot and drama is pretty much split between insatiable bloodlust, petty relationship issues, and extremely poor judgment creating unnecessary problems.
So, it's funny and frustrating I guess...I dunno. I'll give it three stars and leave it there.

The first two volumes are by far the strongest, and Flutter takes a serious nose-dive in comparison. I will not be reading the fourth, which is out now, as I do not feel the series can be redeemed. There are so many repeating phrases that I could not help but start counting their occurrence, while reading, and it really pushes one away form the story. Too often someone speaks "not unkindly" or curls a lock of hair behind an ear, or asks "are you coming with?" The last question I find annoying on its own, but I understand some people do talk that way - especially younger people. I can't imagine a 300-year-old vampire speaking that way. I can't accept every single character in every book (that I have read) by Amanda Hocking speaking that way. That just doesn't work for me.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

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 still calls to Peter.
Now, things would have probably gone smoother had Jack behaved like the suave mature guy that he was in My Blood Approves and Fate, but, no… he’d turned into this insecure, sniveling boy. The fight over the pillow did not help. Granted, the pillow wasn’t the point. But for goodness sake, couldn’t they have come up a better segue? (The point being: it was not Jack who had been wronged; rather it was he who had done the “wronging”?)
Add the fact that Mae was turning into a whiny Valley Girl who was not getting what she wanted.
I suppose Flutter is not all bad. The parts that made me read on had to do with Ezra and Milo: The former’s self-sacrifice and the latter’s growing confidence.
Flutter is an OK read for a stormy night when one has nothing better to read (as was the case for me.)

*Rating* 2.0
*Genre* YA Paranormal/Romance/One of the worse female YA heroines ever.
*Review*
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 up finishing the story you ask? By skipping major boring parts throughout the books, and getting to the ones that sort of made sense.
Let me highlight the story itself:
Alice is, naturally, a vampire now. She was 5’3” tall as a human and gained a whole 2 inches as a vampire! WOO HOO! ;eyeroll: She is a bumbling, trip over own two feet, unable to control herself vampire which is a perfect explaination for the past three books in this series. She supposingly loves Jack, but ends up nearly biting Peter after playing kissy face with him. Plus, her so called bloodlust is more out of control than even Milo’s was. The whole Peter, Jack, Alice 3-way athon…been there done that hated it! :::two finger clicks, around the world::: continues to the point of constant screaming and hateful rhethoric. This is me turning the pages ::click:: For some reason, vampires can't get enough of Alice's emo blood and thus she has even more bad vamps chasing after her.
Jack has turned into a whiney spoiled little brat and jealous of anything that Alice does without him around. So, when Ezra, Jack and Alice fly to Finland to find Peter, Jack turns all possessive. I hate possessive characters in books as well as real life. Jack and Peter end up fighting over a silly pillow which really means that they are fighting over what happened between them and Alice. Later, Alice and Jack decide to move out and get their own apartment but thanks to the brilliantly sick mind of Mae, they will probably end up staying.
Milo finds a human gay boyfriend who Alice believes is a male version of a blood whore. Naturally, Bobby did in fact hang around with vampires and Bobby wasn't his only lover. Alice, of course, is instantly hateful towards him because he’s human and older than her 16 year old brother. Milo nearly kills Bobby by draining his blood. Of course, we later forget that Alice nearly does the same exact thing in order to save her life from some weird vampires the writer decides to call Lycans.
Peter is found and brought back from Finland by Alice and Ezra at the expense of Ezra’s blood. Peter tells Alice that the reason he bit her was so that Jack would rush in and kill him. Peter reveals some shocking information to Alice, who naturally, turns around and tells Jack. Mae claims that she and Peter and the abomination she creates are moving to Australia.
Violet the vampire, who chased Alice with Lucian, is still around but less likely to be trouble.
Jane is now a blood whore thanks to Milo drinking blood from her in the last edition of this series. Involved with a vampire named Jonathan. Alice et al attempt to save her but she runs away and ends up in the hands of the Lycan Vampires. To be continued.....
Mae for some reason decided it was a good idea to visit her human family and is now having a nervous breakdown. Has a great granddaughter named Daisy who is dying of cancer and feels that it is her right to save her by making her a mini-Mae. Mae turns her five her old great-granddaughter into an abomination and infuriates everyone around her. Mae and Ezra are so overwith.
Really WTH are you smoking moment:
"You know, sharks are the only natural enemy vampires have,” he said, his eyes still locked on the television screen. “Yeah, Ezra told me that,” I said. “But I don’t know if they’re really a ‘natural’ enemy. I mean, how many vampires live in the water?”
Please, I beg of anyone who cares, just put me out of my misery before I continue with this series!
May I just say that I am really, really, really glad that I didn't have to spend money on any of these books? That I've actually BORROWED them through an Amazon.com program?

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.
MY SUMMARY: so in the last book, jack has gave alice his blood to drink and now shes a vampire!But sadly, peter felt his bond with alice dissapear and now he's crazy and ran off to someplace, unsafe(who knows fer sheer!). Now in this book, jack and alice are a couple and sorta blood mates... later on ezra found out that peter's in danger, and decides to go on a mission to save him, alice then hears about this and askes ezra to go with him to save peter. jack doesnt approve of this at first, but he knows nothing can stop alice from not going...alice and ezra leave,and now later on they found out peter is on a suicide mission(he went to the lupin people to try to get himself killed)...ezra and alice arrive and later on brings peter back(ezra let the lupin harm him to let peter free- or so he thinks!!!).. when they get back, mae starts to fall apart because she found out that her great- grand daughter is ill, and she wants to change her so she wont die(also because mae trys to keep her promise that she made along time ago to herself"not to let any of her children die")..but when ezra hears about this, he says its not the right thing to do and says that if mae does change the child, she cant live with him anymore, ouch.read on more to find out about alice's love triangle and about ezra and mae's relationship!will they fall apart? or will it get better?SPOILER: at the end of this book, mae changes the child, and her relationship with ezra falls apart!!!!!!:'[
ALSO after the mission, alice finds out that a human name BOBBY, is dating MILO(her younger bro)!

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 like those stupid cliche vampire book parts, but if you can get past that then you would think this was really good.
So in this third book, which was my favorite of the four book, everything kind of starts to go downhill for everyone. Alice just became a vampire, and all that, then Peter apparently was going to kill himself, so her and Ezra go to Finland to retrieve him from the Lycan, a group of primitive vampires. They bring him back, and then they have some trouble with Alice human best friend, and a mae's great grandaughter, and Jack and Alice's relationship, and peter with Alice, and Milo's new boyfriend, and the Lycan trying to kill them all.
I think that this book would have sucked if it wasn't for the characters. Alice was a little bit annoying but kind of cool, but Jack was HILARIOUS, Mae seemed all sweet, Milo was adorable, Peter was sexy, and Ezra was all perfect and a little bit sexy as well.
So overall, read it if you think you can get past the whole Cliche vampire crap, because the book isn't FULL of it, and it is easy to get past.

This was actually my favourite book in the series. It was a lot faster-paced and had a lot more action in it than the previous 2, both of which I found a little slow. Even better, there is a lot less whining from Alice in this one. I mean, she's still a big puddle of misery and doesn't seem to have any real aspirations in life, but she has a big heart and she will do anything for the ones she love. And I mean anything. This is what I like about her.
I was also so relieved and happy that Alice finally got turned. Not only was her constant complaining/fragility pretty repetitive, but it made the story much more interesting.
Jack finally overtook Peter in the "Who is better for Alice (or me) poll" in this book. In the previous 2 books I was on the Peter bandwagon but there's this dark, depressing side to him that I'm not sure about. I think Jack is definitely the right choice for Alice, but I still have a thing for Peter!
We see much more of Peter in this book and see his reasons/thoughts behind pushing Alice away and.... the way he really feels about her, even now ; ) I am especially partial to Peter and he said some heart-stopping things to Alice, so I'm torn on this one. Not sure who I'm rooting for anymore :s
Overall, a really exciting read and the BEST book in the series so far. Given how the book ends (with a little taste of Book 4), I am expecting more action, some steamy love scenes between Peter and Alice.. I mean Jack and Alice (who knows anymore?!) and finally a change of scenery from the Townsend household to outback Australia. Can't wait!

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 feels to forced and makes it appear the author is just trying to stretch the series out. I felt this way at the end of the second book and NOW it continues on throughout the whole third book. COME ON can Alice make up your freaking mind already. I feel like all of womankind is a weaker species because fragile finicky little Alice can't make a decision and stick to it. I usually love books that have multiple love interests, but it is just not working here. And in the end of the book ______ has to move away to get away from her, because for some reason she is just soooo loveable, and in the next book she is going on vacation to see him. What effing ever. Read on if you want, but I no longer recommend this series.

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 another line like; "words can not describe," or "crazy control," or "I felt like vomiting," I seriously will have to rethink the reasons as to why I keep reading the damn series.
Albeit, the storyline flows nicely and it is intriguing, but I know Hocking can do better. I will continue to read her work because although she is still young and much to learn, I believe that it will pay off in the long run to keep an eye on her. :)

So much happens in this one! Lycans! Bobby! Jane's semi-rehabilitation! Family splintering! Sex!
A lot of this book feels like they're just sitting around the house but in retrospect a lot does go on in this one plot-wise. I still miss the old book cover but this is a fantastic and fun entry in the series either way. I wish Jack, Alice, and Peter would just have a hot vampire threesome already but we can't win 'em all. Knowing how everything plays out in Swear is making me sad lol.
On with the reread! Book 4 here I come...

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 back after he was mad about the kiss and said the things he said to Alice (and another close part with them later in the book). Peter is a much more interesting character and vastly improved in this book. Mae bugs me more than I can say. And, I just can’t stop the ever-present vibe of some kind of Bizarro Cullen family situation as I read about Ezra, Mae, etc.
Yeah…I don’t know about these books. I can’t see it a lot of the time—-I never really become a part of the world—-it feels artificial and like I’m reading a book most of the time. There were some really scary parts at the end, but most of the story was kind of flat. The lycans were a scary idea, but again seemed artificial. And, why wouldn’t everyone clue in to the boat incident sooner!
At one point Jane (who, though drawn like a cartoon character, seems much more insightful than anyone else in these books) points out how boring Alice and gang and their household are. I tend to agree—-other than a couple of main incidents, which don’t flow together well in this story. I also don’t understand why Alice is concerned that she would kill Jack with the bloodlust thing. I don’t get the blood issues in these books a lot of the time—-they make no sense. The vampires actually pass out and sleep after they feed? Or, is that just Alice? If you want to defeat them, let them drink your blood!!

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 someone along. Additionally, it drove me absolutely crazy that whenever someone asked where someone else was they said "where's so-and-so at?". The at isn't needed, nor is it proper grammar. I understand that, yes, that is how some people speak, but it still doesn't make it correct or acceptable.
I know I'm being rather nit picky about these things, but it was precisely these things that kept me from enjoying the book. The one good thing is that at least Hocking managed to only use "the air got sucked out of the room" line a couple times in the three books I read as opposed to the dozen or so times she did in the Trylle books.

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.

Creo que en este punto de la historia todos los personajes se vuelven todavía más tediosos e insoportables. Melodrama en exceso y diálogos cliché.
También creo que esta historia da un giro grotesco a comparación de las anteriores. Los primeros dos libros son monótonos e iguales, los personajes en las mismas situaciones, mismas acciones, mismo ida y vuelta. No digo que no haya de esto ahora, sino que además se agregan un par de complementos que no tuvieron ningún lugar antes. (Y es por eso, y porque soy una melodramática aburrida, que el libro me gusto un poco menos que los anteriores)
El final estuvo “bien” para mí, a diferencia de los otros, lo sentí como una especie de plot twist.
Seguir extendiéndome sería repetitivo teniendo en cuenta que muchas cosas se mencionan en mis reseñas previas de esta saga.
El libro sigue siendo una porquería en cuanto a valor literario, y ni siquiera está bien formulado. Hay tal falta de esfuerzo en la creación de este, en la creación de ideas, personajes y diálogos, que no se puede tomar en serio. No deja de ser un entretenimiento culposo que me gusta consumir.

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 changed her personality. There are many, many grammatical and editing issues in these books, and they are a bit distracting. Despite all of this, I finished the book and downloaded the next one in the series. I still want to know how it all turns out. While I think this is by far the the longest book in the series, it is a very quick read. It's entertaining and interesting. It's best to just not try to critique it.

El libro es horrible y la trama es pésima. Lo es tanto que incluso pasando algunos capítulos seguías enterándote porque no pasa nada.
El libro es machista respecto a que le prohiben tener relaciones a Alice con Jack porque le pertenece a Peter por diversas razones estúpidas. Encima que Alice y Jack son novios pero aunque no lo fueran pueden tenerlas pero según la autora si un macho te reclama debes mantenerte virgen a él.
Alice sigue igual de insoportable y todos siguen cayéndome fatal.

Estos son los únicos libros de vampiros que leí y la verdad, en su momento me gustaron mucho.
Son muy sencillos y entretenidos, interesantes, divertidos y enganchan bastante.

Que decirles de este libro, cada vez la historia va a peor. Claramente los dos primeros libros fueron los mejores y este decayó muchísimo. Lo positivo es que se leen rapídisimo, creo que porque odio tanto a los personajes que cada vez que están en peligro secretamente deseo que los maten.
Cualquiera pensaría que Alice, al convertirse en vampiro, por lo que tanto jodió en TODO el libro anterior y la llevó a una crisis y a poner su vida en peligro, iba a dejar de ser tan insoportable. Pues no sólo no dejó de serlo, sino que EMPEORÓ. No la tolero para nada. Tampoco soporto a su novio. Jack es un vampiro de 40 años de edad que se comporta como alguien de 16, desconfía todo el tiempo de Alice y me revienta. Se puede ver que no se aman y, aunque trato de explicarme el por qué se buscan tanto con el tema del vínculo, no me lo termino de creer.
Al comienzo de la historia descubrimos que Peter, después de que Alice haya sido convertida por Jack en una decisión completamente impulsiva, lo que podía llevar a la muerte de la persona que supuestamente ama, está metiéndose con vampiros salvajes para terminar asesinado por ellos.
Debido a esto, Alice y Ezra viajan para rescatarlo y convencerlo de volver a casa.
Peter pasó de estar convencido de acabar con su vida y no volver nunca a estar en un avión con ellos después de literalmente dos palabras de Alice.
A pesar de todas las fallas en los argumentos y la trama, sigo queriendo que Alice termine con Peter, no puedo entender por qué prefiere al tarado de Jack.
Toda la trama con Jane me dio mucha lástima. No se merece para nada todo lo que le está pasando a pesar de que no me caía bien en los libros anteriores. A pesar de esto, no me importaba demasiado lo que podía pasar con ella (ni con ningún personaje, a decir verdad).
El libro terminó con un pseudo plot twist, que se veía venir de lejísimos. Era obvio que iba a pasar, pero así y todo me pareció demasiado. Entre la batalla final y lo que pasa con Mae me quedé sin comentarios les digo, y no precisamente por algo positivo. Mae al principio me daba igual pero en este libro se sumó a la lista de personajes que no tolero, no se con que motivo la autora le cambió tanto la personalidad para hacerla detestable.
Voy a leer el último libro porque se lo debo a mi yo chiquita que nunca pudo terminar la saga, pero no creo que valga la pena.
Team Peter por siempre.

I liked Flutter a lot compared to the first two books because there's a lot more going on in this book. New characters also had been introduced in the story which made it much more interesting, there's also a scene that involved a life a death situation, and last but not least, we got to see the different side of Mae in the story, which was not pretty. (I felt like slapping her, and talk sense to her since the main character couldn't do it). I also can't wait to find out more about Leif, the ex Lycan member. When Alice said his eyes looked like Milo, I suspect that he's their father. Oh boy! I wonder what's the story behind it, and if my guess is correct.

Besser und spannender als Band zwei. Jedoch verschwinden mir die Probleme zu schnell und vor allem zu "einfach". Zudem bin ich nicht so der Freund von den aktuellen Entwicklungen. :) Mag aber wohl auch daran liegen, dass ich eine Schwäche für Underdogs habe. 😅

Really boring book. Had to skip a lot to reach the end. 1.5 stars
September 14, 2011
RATING: 1.5 OGRE FARTS
CONTAINS SPOILERS!
I seriously wonder why I bothered to read such crap. From all the books I have sitting on my bookhelf, from all the ebooks patiently waiting for me to open them, I had to choose a nonsensical ebook to pass my time. I'm already reading three other books, one of which is God knows where, the other I got bored from and will resume it hopefully soon, and the last which I read when I've had enough of this one.
So, in this book, little Miss Alice here goes to Finland to rescue the melodramatic Peter from lycans (?) along with Ezra. Then she tries to save Jane from being a blood-hoochie-mama. Then, she tries to save Jane again from the lycans who want Alice because she's their ticket to Peter. Oh, and she's a victim to bloodlust and wants to finally sleep with Jack. And for some absurd, illogical reason, she kisses Peter; then blames it on bloodlust.
Alice is so petty and so stupid, I honestly spend my nights contemplating her murder if she were real. She's such an airhead and so full of herself, and I really don't know what people see in her. At many points throughout the story, people are hugging her or staring at her or using her as some kind of support, but it wasn't anything "sexual." Don't see where I'm going? Well, for instance, the moment between Ezra and Alice when they were in Finland after Ezra went to speak with the "lycan." Good grief, lady! Get over yourself!
In addition, it seems that Alice is some kind of psychic, always knowing what the people are thinking or the reasons behind their actions, and frankly, I'm sick of the "Oh, he's hurting 'cause he loves me" crap. Witch, go bang your head against a wall or something.
Now, I seriously wonder how old Milo is. At the beginning of the series, he's a nerdy, fifteen-year old responsible loner who's confused. Now. he's some "foxy" (the Lord only knows how much I HATE that word) vampire who's in love with a 21-year old. Okay, okay. Forget the ridiculous match; focus on the two now. Milo is supposed to have matured at least, but most of the time, Milo was a thirteen-year old to me. Bobby would've seemed like a pedophile then, but he wasn't any different. Aren't tattoos supposed to show and prove to everyone that you're tough? And when getting inked, doesn't it hurt? I wonder how Bobby survived, unless they were temporary tattoos.
Mae is honestly retarded. I get that she wants to save her stupid great-grandwhatever-- I really do -- but honestly, no one can really argue with Ezra's logic. And wouldn't Daisy's family freak out if she went missing? Mae was already annoying, but here, she is infuriating.
I think Jack is brainwashed or equally stupid and desperate to be in love with Alice.
Peter and Ezra and Matilda are the ONLY people and dog I liked, although Peter acts like some martyr and is really and seriously histrionic.
Now, it's nice to see the words tears, sobbing, lamented and crying lessen, but they were insinuated. Moreover, the author excessively repeated a lot of things thoughout the story through Alice. The story is really ridiculous and still too akin to other vampire books I've read.
The author knows what she's talking about, I can feel it, but she needs to look up the word PROOFREAD and correct her stupid mistakes and y'all have a nice day!

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 into a vampire and in doing so, bonded Alice to himself and severed the blood connection to Peter, which spared their lives. However, the blood connection may not have been the only force drawing Alice to Peter...Immediately after the change, Peter took off without contact, signaling trouble to Ezra, the family leader. Ezra is about to go off on a mission to find and save Peter from himself. Alice volunteers to go along, against Jack's wishes, believing she may be able to help bring him back. However, in the process of saving Peter, Alice is introduced to the worst of her new "kind" and their interaction with them leaves a very nasty impression. Alice, Peter and Ezra return only to find their happy home has changed in more ways than one. Between Mae's desperation, Milo's new boyfriend, Jack's jealousy, Jane's addiction, Peter's true feelings, and their new "friends", Flutter is full of suspense and will keep you riveted to the end.

I just finished reading book three and thought I would type out my thoughts on the series while it was still fresh in my mind. I really liked the first book and the second. The third was okay but I don't think I'm going to read any more books of this series. The love triangle is a little too strange to me and the series seems to be going the way of the Twilight books. The plot of the series revolves around vampires named Jack and Peter and a human (in the first book) named Alice. Her character has evolved and is growing however not enough for me. In the first two books Peter is viewed as cruel and in the third book we find out that we were wrong about that all along. The axis of the plot shifts so that Peter is no longer the villain and it makes us question whether the other characters were truly heroes as we originally saw them. Peter's character is heartbreaking. That he lost the first love of his life and now loses a chance with the second, in addition to his family is tragic. Jack's character has always been one of my favorites because of his boyish innocence and innate goodness. By the end of this book the author has started to show a jealous, darker side of him that I'm not sure I like. The fact that Mae has a nervous breakdown and the relationship between her and Ezra goes south is also a twist that didn't sit well with me. Also, the fight with the Lycans was very Twilight-ish. On a positive note, I love how Milo's character is blossoming.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

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 out to get away from his issues which are Mea and Peter (I wonder since they are moving is he still going to move out?). We are intuduced to Milo's new B/f in this book Bobby I don't know how I feel about him yet all I know is he isn't what I imagined for Milo. I'm going to keep reading in hopes that Alice realizes she does love Peter because honestly there is still a spark there unless her sleeping with Jack (which believe me was very uneventful) deminished the spark which I will hate.

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). Ugh, the other three... they're just to nauseating to discuss.
So why do I keep reading these books? Three words I've said before and I'll repeat once more: (Hey, that rhymes! haha Clearly not those three words it's just late and I am acting strangely silly)
Back to what I was saying, three words I've said before and I'll repeat once more: Ezra. Milo. PETER!!
