Crave is an amazing read that has you hooked from the first page, right till the end. With an original plot that breathes new life in certain overdone writing tropes. This book is an exciting and gripping page turner that you will not regret reading.

Well then, that was one heck of a crazy experience. It had unapologetic shades of twilight but it was original enough to carry a fresh story. CRAVE was full of violence, wars and rivalry at a boarding school for all sorts of paranormal creatures. I found it addictive and fun with some good twists, whilst also being somewhat predictable.

The reading experience was an addictive one, it was hard to put this down and reading this with buddies made that feeling even worse as we egged one another on and built up the angst (as if it needed any help).

I’m pleased to say that both the main characters, Grace and Jaxon had more actual personality than Edward and Bella but the story wasn’t as good (if you are a Twlight fan). There were sercrets to make the reader infuriated and lots of guesswork about who, what creature and again…who. I really enjoyed the guessing and laughed at how involved I got in the book, it really did take me back to the original feeling of reading it’s cover inspiration.

I’m really not going to tell you anything about the story but it ended in a really unexpected way, knocking the rating up to 4 stars. I respect the story so much more for that ending despite the dramarama and angsty fun on the way.

So, should you read it, hell yeah, why not! Oh and if you have a first edition, you get some alternate POV chapters at the end, which is a nice touch.

This book was an unexpected delight! It is written very much in the style of YA books when I was younger (don't want to mention the T word...), with slightly over the top drama. However, it definitely had a degree of self awareness and a tongue in cheek humour that set it apart.

Vampires were popular for a reason, and this book is a fantastic reminder why. I found myself feeling quite nostalgic!

The plot was generally pretty fast paced, but overall the book felt longer than it needed to be. Otherwise, I thought it was a really interesting take on the supernatural with characters that I wanted to learn more about.

This won't be for everybody, but I really enjoyed Crave and look forward to reading the next book!

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
