My Blood Approves by Amanda Hocking
Flutter and Wisdom are the 3rd and 4th books of the My Blood Approves series by Amanda Hocking. An enjoyable series and I'm not sure if there are more books that will be coming out or not. It definately has the potential to continue on. Alice is still struggling with her feelings for Peter and Jack, but is trying very hard to be faithful to Jack. She spends most of these books learning to control her bloodlust and abilities as a vampire and to also figure out how she really feels about becoming a vampire and what her purpose in life is now. At first she just figured she would be a trophy wife and do nothing for eternity but be with Jack and be happy. Unfortunately, that isn't exactly what happens. She starts to resent being a 'monster' and not having anything that is 'hers.' Everything belongs to her new vampire family.
Her life also isn't very easy-going and happy like she planned. Flutter starts with Peter trying to get himself killed by wild vampires and he unfortunately drags in Alice and his family. They save him at a great price and head back home to find Jane a bloodwhore and pretty close to death. She doesn't want help, but Alice refuses to let her go. Of course, the wild vampires track them home and try to get revenge on Peter by baiting and hurting Jane and Alice. Mae spends this whole book fighting with her husband because she wants to turn her 5-year-old great-granddaughter into a vampire because she is terminally ill. In the end all works out and Mae turns Daisy. They have to go to Australia since Daisy has absolutely no control over herself.
Wisdom finds Jane murdured and a seriel killer branding and killing human girls by Club V and Mae, Daisy, and Peter in Australia trying to control Daisy. Daisy gets out of control and attacks a bunch of people and so they are forced to run back home until they can find a place to stay. Alice is determined to find the seriel killer and in the process gets tagged by vampire hunters as being involved with the killing and they track and attack her and her vampire family. This book actually made me cry at the end since Mae is finally forced to kill Daisy because she is in so much pain from needing to drink blood so often and is uncontrollable. She keeps attacking those in the family and Mae is finally forced to make the decision to end her life.
A fun series to read, especially if you are really into vampire novels. If you have a kindle you can get all 4 books for only $10 which is great. My only complaint with the last book were the amount of grammar issues. The other three books were good, but the fourth seriously needed some more editing time.
