Hi Cara,
Todays Book Review is regarding Crave by Tracy Wolff. This book takes me back to YA paranormal romance AKA Twilight.
My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy.
Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods…or monsters. I still can’t decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me.
Then there’s Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn’t felt anything for a hundred years. But there’s something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what’s broken in me.
Which could spell death for us all.
Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I’m wondering if I was brought here intentionally—as the bait.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Crave reminds me of Twilight and that feeling of young love with a dangerous edge.
The Katmere Academy is a great setting for the story, where the location of Alaska is just as dangers as the students of the school. I love that the school is a caste and that it has creepy/dangerous areas. There is one location I would want to spend more time in is the library, and if they ever need a replacement librarian I would happily apply.
The leading lady of Crave is Grave and I liked her automatically, she isn’t in denial about her grief and dealing with it the best she can. She also is kind and will stand up for herself. I really liked her after she said.
“I’ve never met a library I didn’t like.”
Another quote I loved was;
“I’m not a damsel in distress; I’m a dragon in a dress.”
I would love that on a sticker or something else.
I have a couple of things about Crave that I am unsure about;
- The fact that they didn’t tell Grace about how different the students of Katmere Academy are straight away.
- I love the Pop culture references, but I worry that It will cause the book to become dating quickly.
Overall I enjoy the plot, pacing and the characters. The ending took me by surprise and made me interested to read the next book.
Also, I loved that at the end of the book we get 3 chapters from Jaxon POV from the first interaction with Grace.
My Rating for Crave is 3.8 out of 4
