The lives of Cyra Noavek and Akos Kereseth are ruled by their fates, spoken by the oracles at their births. The fates, once determined, are inescapable. Akos is in love with Cyra, in spite of his fate: He will die in service to Cyra’s family. And when Cyra’s father, Lazmet Noavek - a soulless tyrant, thought to be dead - reclaims the Shotet throne, Akos believes his end is closer than ever. As Lazmet ignites a barbaric war, Cyra and Akos are desperate to stop him at any cost.

Love This Series
Reviewed: 09-04-18
I truly enjoyed this book. It was a little slow at the beginning, but not enough to bother me at all. I love the world that Veronica Roth created in this series. The names of the people and places are beautiful. The narrators do a fabulous job. Especially the Cyra and Akos narrators. There is a part in the book where I had to pause the book and wrap my head around the information that the author dropped. My mind was blown. Haha. I highly recommend this series. It's a great listen. I will definitely give it a re-listen sometime in the future.

Seventeen-year-old Alice Bonham's life feels out of control after she meets Jack. With his fondness for pink Chuck Taylors and New Wave hits aside, Jack's unlike anyone she's ever met. Then she meets his brother, Peter. His eyes pierce through her, and she can barely breathe when he's around. Even though he can't stand the sight of her, she's drawn to him. But falling for two very different guys isn't even the worst of her problems. Jack and Peter are vampires, and Alice finds herself caught between love and her own blood....

What Is Up With The Unnecessary Slowness???
Reviewed: 02-27-18
Would you try another book from Amanda Hocking and/or Hannah Friedman?
I have read Amanda Hocking's books before on my Kindle(This series included) and really enjoyed them. With a deal of $2 an audio book for the first three in this series, I figured, why not.But I would not choose to get more books read by Hannah Friedman. She read so so slow and added unnecessary pauses. Also, she couldn't decide if she wanted Ezra to have an accent or not. He would have one and then all of the sudden he wouldn't.
What other book might you compare My Blood Approves to and why?
I would definitely compare it to Twilight. It is different, but there are parts where you are thinking, "I've heard this somewhere before."I guess there are only so many teenage vampire scenarios that you can have.I just wish that if an author wanted to write a vampire story that they would get creative with it.
Would you be willing to try another one of Hannah Friedman’s performances?
No, would not. I do have two more books in the series that I have purchased and I think she narrates them all. I will not be purchasing any more because of her narration.I think I will just stick to reading the Kindle or physical copy of this series.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I enjoyed the story okay enough. I haven't read the last book in the series because I read she wasn't going to write it.Now I see that she did. So I was hoping to re read all of the books and finally find out what happened. If the story seems like it will be something you would enjoy. Please read the book. Don't let my review make you not read/listen to it. Just be prepared for a very... slow... listen... I would recommend getting it on the Kindle or a physical copy and reading it yourself. Your own narration is usually better anyway. :)
