»Es tut mir leid«, flüsterte ich, und dieses Mal kann ich das Schluchzen nicht zurückhalten. »Es tut mir so leid.« »Es gibt nichts, was dir leidtun muss«, sagt er. »lch liebe dich, Grace. Zu sehr, um zuzulassen, dass du mich wählst.« Er drückt meine Hand. »Das hier ist, wie es immer hätte sein sollen,« »Jaxon...« Meine Stimme bricht. »Genug«, erwidert er, seine Augen glitzern unter einer Million unterschiedlicher Gefühle. »Und jetzt beeil dich und bring es zu Ende. Zieh heraus, was geht, bevor der Biss dieses Bastards mir alles nimmt.« Hudson legt seine Hand auf Jaxons Schulter. »Ich liebe dich, Bruder, murmelt er, aber Jaxon ist schon zu weit weg, um noch zu antworten.

Ich schließe die Augen, nehme einen tiefen Atemzug und bereite mich darauf vor, dem ersten Jungen, den ich je liebte, das Leben zu nehmen.

Dann lege ich meine Hand behutsam um Jaxons Handgelenk. »Bist du bereit?« Er nickt und starrt mich fehentlich an. »Verlass mich nicht, okay?« »Was?« »Wenn es getan ist, wenn Flint geheilt ist ... ich weiß, ich habe nicht das Recht, dich um etwas zu bitten, Grace. Aber bitte, ich möchte nicht ...« Er schließt die Augen, als schäme er sich. »lch möchte nicht allein sterben.« Zuvor glaubte ich nur, mein Herz wäre gebrochen, denn jetzt zerbricht es einfach so - genau in der Mitte - und zerspringt danach in Tausende kleinster Splitter.

»Was. Zur. Hölle. Hast. Du. Mit. Ihm. Gemacht?«, stößt Remy zwischen zusammengebissenen Zähnen hervor, während er zwischen Flint und Calder hin und her starrt. »Du hast gesagt, wir sollen eine Nummer von Bellamy besorgen. Wir haben die Nummer. Aber wir mussten mit ihm trinken, bis er besoffen genug war, sie rauszurücken.« Sie schenkt Flint ein liebevolles Lächeln. »Anscheinend sieht er sehr viel tougher aus, als er ist.« Flint antwortet, in dem er ihr trottelig zuwinkt und Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball anstimmt. »Anscheinend«, sagt Remy, dann wendet er sich mir zu. »Kannst du ihnen helfen? Ich starre zwischen Flint und Hudson, der gerade an meinem Haar schnüffelt und mir sagt, wie gut ich rieche, hin und her.

“Yeah, well, people tend to think those who are in prison deserve whatever punishment they get,” Hudson comments. “You’re only in prison because you did something wrong. You chose to commit a crime. Of course, if they break a law, it was situational. They had no choice. They were a victim of circumstances.”

“War turns everyone into villains. There’s never been a way to get around that fact.”

“Nobody lives their lives without regrets, Hudson,” I say, looking intently into his eyes. “Everyone makes shitty decisions at some point, tough decisions, ones we’ll spend the rest of our lives regretting.” For just a second, I think of my parents. “The key isn’t to try and live life regret-free. It’s to always try to make the best decision you can in the moment, because the regret’s going to come whether you like it or not. But if you tried your best, well, that’s the most anyone can ask of you.”

But if Remy’s seen me all along, doesn’t approve that Hudson and I were always meant to be mates?

NOW IT’S 4 PEOPLE WHO NEED TO GET OUT???!!??

“The writ of arrest is for Flint Montgomery, and the charge is attempted murder of the last gargoyle in existence.”

“It’s not a gift, dear. It’s your—what did you call it?” she asks Flint. “Your get-out-of-jail-free card? All you have to do to cash it in is die.”

He does this several times with me, and when the panic attack passes, when I can breathe and think again, I know two things.

One, I feel more for Hudson Vega than I ever imagined I would.

“That’s not on you.” He lifts a hand to my face, strokes a tender finger down my cheek. “You’re responsible for your feelings, and I’m responsible for mine. That’s how this works.”

“Hemlock?” I ask, because I wouldn’t put it past her at the moment.

“Close,” she answers with a laugh. “Pineapple juice. Would you like some?”

Her gaze flicks down to the magical bracelet he’s wearing, the one that everyone knows ground his power. He just smirks in response. Then he reaches down and unhooks it, holding it up for everyone to see before dropping it at her feet.

Maybe all these years, it’s not the coming of winter we’ve had to fear, but the spring that thrives in its desolate destruction.

“But I think you need to know the whole story before you can decide what’s truth and what’s opinion. History makes it easier, not harder, to do that, because it pulls the lens back. Lets us see more of the whole picture.”

“Because, Grace dear, once broken, some things can never unbreak.” She gives a sympathetic little smile. “I only knew how to break yours with Jaxon because I’m the one who created it.”

“I killed my brother once, because I was arrogant and childish, and thought it was the right thing — the only thing — to do. I won’t do it again, not like this. I won’t hurt him, and I won’t hurt you.”

“But if that’s true, and mating bonds never break, why exactly was there a spell to break mine? And how did the Bloodletter just happen to know it?”

Wenn die Optionen, also im Grunde sind: a) schnell sterben, b) langsam sterben oder c) vielleicht, möglicherweise eine Chance haben, mithilfe dieser Blumen abhauen zu können? Dann wähle ich total Option d). Aber etwas sagt mir, dass Cy- rus das auf gar keinen Fall zulassen wird, also wird es c).

»Hat jetzt jemand entschieden, wie diese Art Architektur heißt«, fragt Flint wieder und bestaunt die mit Bändern verzierten Lichtmasten, die am Rand des Rasens stehen, jeder hat seine andersfarbige Lampe an der Spitze. »Pfefferkuchenhaus?«, bemerkt Eden bissig. »Eher Pfefferkuchenvilla«, sagt Hudson und geht die Stufen zur Eingangstür hinauf. »Pfefferkuchenskihütte«, sagt Luca entschieden. »Auf einer tropischen Insel.« »Was sie zu was macht?«, sinnt Flint nach. »Architektonisch gehandicapt?«, flüstere ich, weil wir endlich die Eingangstür erreichen.

»Was denkt ihr, wie würde Kant über diese ganze Sache denken, die ihr da laufen habt?«, wirft Flint mit einem Handwedeln ein, und sein Blick springt zwischen Hudson und Jaxon hin und her, als wäre das hier ein Tennismatch. »Bist du high oder was?«, will ich wissen.

»lch weiß. Tut mir leid. Ich habe nur wirklich Probleme mit Kants gesamter Philosophie, um ehrlich zu sein.«

This hit me in all the feels!! I definitely cried towards the end of this book and the fact that I now have to wait until February for the next book is heartbreaking!! Such a great story and Grace is such a badass heroine that I really hope the end of this series gives her a happily ever after!!

Megan

the first 500 pages were really slow but the last 200 pages were so phenomenal that I didn’t care. ngl, I sobbed for the last like, 50 pages.

Kelsey Munson

This series is such a shit show but you better believe I will be sitting front row for the next one.

I enjoyed the direction the romance went in this series. A majority of the negative reviews that differ from mine disagree with that, which is completely fair. I personally don't see that because I never thought what happened in Crave made a ton of sense. It just felt so rushed and chaotic that I never really had a firm belief in it. Love triangle haters, this one might not be for you.

Crush still remains my favorite of the bunch, even with the bizarre triwizard/hot potato tournament. The writing was much better from Crave to Crush, and to my delight, not a single "WTF" or "SEXY AF" was to be found in Covet. The magic system? No clue. Plot? I'm sure we can find one in there somewhere. This is such a convoluted mess, but I am here for it. And by 'it' I mean Hudson. Literally nothing else, because this series makes no sense.

Anyway, see y'all for the fourth book in September lol.

i love this series so much. although it isn’t the best written piece of work ever and i could pin point certain errors in writing and so on, the plot in itself is beautiful and I’m deeply attached to the characters.

Kimberly Burgess 

More like 2.5. 

What even was that?? 😱 I'm going to keep reading because I'm invested, but I'm concerned.

THE ENDING. WHAT WAS THE ENDING? AND MY BABY JAXON OMG MISS AUTHOR YOU ARE KILLING ME.

Faith Kitowski

I did not see myself falling in love with this series as much as I have now become. I will say that I am so glad that I decided to keep giving it a shot after reading the first book. A solid mix of sobbing, yelling, and heartbreak paired with heartwarming puzzle pieces being put back together. I feel like the plot twists were never done for shock factor, but they were done in such a way that worked so smoothly with the storytelling. I love the main characters so much and I love seeing who they’re all growing into throughout this series 🥹💓

Your honor, I love them. Can't believe I'm almost caught up with this series already! Even though the books have gotten longer, it's definitely more captivating.

I am addicted to the series I love the characters chemistry it’s a little sad but a 10/10 read🥰

i really appreciated the character development that Grace has had in this book. starting with the end of book two, she really grows into herself & her powers.

           Overall I love this series. Hudson is probably my favorite character. I enjoyed the story and the prison was probably my favorite part just because of how cool I thought the Dante’s inferno reference was.
That said, this book was a little bit of a drag compared to the other 2. I felt like there was so much going on from beginning to end that I can’t even remember what happened at the beginning. Grace’s repetitive inner dialogue was driving me nuts, also. She kept having these epiphanies in the middle of conversations, like how she let remembering that Hudson was in love with her and was being very descriptive about that. Over and over and over again. Plus, the interactions with Calder, Remy and the other characters felt so weirdly forced.
I love this series, it’s definitely top 10 for me. But this book was weaker than the others. I’m really excited for the next book, though.

There were some parts in there that had me hanging by a thread.

           I finished Covet late last night and it was amazing. From the start it was an emotional roller coaster to the very end. The romance mostly focused on Grace and Hudson, which we learned at the end of Crush they are Mates. It takes many twists in and turns and it was totally worth the read in the end. I can’t wait for Court to come out in November. 

Towards the end of the book Grace finally chooses Hudson after a very long awaited mini war takes place on the island of where the Unkillablebeast is. As the war goes on Grace finds Flint and starts mending him back together, since he got hurt during the war. Flint is just about to die when Jaxson comes from the cave with the internal bite on his neck, Hudson finds him and Jaxon begs Grace to use his power to save Flint. During all of this Flint’s boyfriend, Luca dies. Soon after Grace uses all of Jaxon’s power and he slowly dies. But Nuri, Flint’s mom gives Jaxon her dragon heart as she feels responsible for what has happened, Jaxon comes back and everyone is as happy as you can be when people you love have died. 

Hudson did use his power to turn people into dust, which was shocking. 

There was clearly a whole lot more that did happen that I’m not mentioning but I will say that my favorite chapters are 82 through 86, if you know, you know!

Hudson Vega rivals only Aaron Warner.
They are the unbelievably hottest characters in every book I’ve ever read.
His confidnece contests, his coolness when he’s fighting “good doggy” this man doesn’t break down. His power is insane and just ugh wow. 
First off, so happy I didn’t give up on him in the last book thinking he was a lost cause and my love would go down the drain because I can assure you it’s not. Even if he tears apart everyone I will still love him.
His love for his brother. HIS LOVE FOR GRACE. His pov chapters >>>>>
Anyway enough about the love of my life. 
The book itself wasn’t too spectacular. I think Cyrus has dragged on for way too long but I did enjoy all the side characters especially the old gargoyle.
Can NOT WAIT for what the emerald string is.
And even more so I can’t wait for the book of their 4 months together. Yes I’m excited for the next one in chronological order because yes I’m excited for them to defeat Cyrus but it’s a NEED not a want that I know what happened in those four months.
Anyway I Absoutely love them. I love Hudson’s willingness for her. I love her strength. I love Remy.
I bawled my eyes out for flint and Luca and Jaxson… but everything will be okay.. I hope. Well not for Luca. But already a hed those tears. I do really hope Flint finds someone new I’m so sick of this poor dude’s heart broken. 
Anyway this book was just great, I do wish it was a little shorter. Because of all their growth it has to add a star but I feel like this genuinely could’ve been a .5 until the next book and definitely didn’t need 500 pages but either way I will love and read Grace’s story til the end.
I wanna know what happens to everything I Absoutely can’t wait for the next book.
JUNE 2nd!!!!! (Not the chronological one, the one of grace and Hudson’s 4 months.)
(((((Can’t wait for her Jump N Jacks faze.)

Another extraordinary long book in Tracy Wolffe’s Crave series, Covet is just what I expected: long, whiney, and addicting. I want to hate these books so badly, but I just can’t seem to stop. Grace is still battling Cyrus, the vampire king while trying to graduate from high school. 
	Pros: 
Hudson- I love Hudson, by far my favorite character and I’m getting real sick of Grace’s wishy washy feelings towards him. 
World building (?) This is kind of a mixed feeling point for me, but the concept of the prison was interesting. 
	Cons: 
Length- So so so so much of this book was Grace’s inner monologue about her feelings. Like yes a lot of terrible stuff has happened to her, but that’s why it’s fiction. She has a right to be upset, but she also tends to get very whiny especially when her love life is involved. 
Deaths- If any major character is in peril, somehow someway they will be saved. But if someone is just dating one of the major characters they’re fair game apparently? 
Predictable pattern - I just think we’re falling into this pattern of well we need to go find this thing/person and go defeat Cyrus and save the world. Then something unexpected happens, but it ends up fine but then as soon as they’re “safe” the next twist happens instantaneously. It makes for exciting and addicting reading, but after a while I don’t care what the next blah blah magical item/person is. 
	I have so many problems with this series, but like I said it is addicting. I’m sure I’ll be picking up the next book from the library or KU, because no way am I purchasing. 3/5 stars for me.

Maggie Hepditch

I started reading this several months ago but got too stressed out to keep reading so I stopped and then took a long time to pick it up again, meaning I forgot a lot of what happened. But what I do know is that Grace is very unlikeable in this book.

Madison Aumua

Never been more surprisingly happy about the way a series turned out! It was a little weak and fanfic-y to start (crave) but im loving it now! Especially Hudson!

Morgan

HOLY SHITT!! I NEED THE NEXT BOOK LIKE NOWWWE!! 

Luca’s death scene literally broke my damn heart. I’m so glad that Grace admitted that she loves Hudson, that gave me butterflies!!

           I was a little bit disappointed with the first third of the book, which is why I only rated it four stars. It felt kind of slow and forced but after the new york visit, things started to pick up which I greatly appreciated since I love these characters so much and want to see their story through to the end. 
Another thing that I didn't particularly enjoy was the whole subplot where Jaxon's soul was dying?? It felt sort of like something that was written in because the author backed herself into a corner and needed to find a way to propel the story forward. 
But besides those two things, I was on the edge of my seat for most of this book. I thought that the jail (currently blanking on the crazy name it had) was really well fleshed out. I think that all of the different aspects of it like the Hex and the Pit only added to the tension and anticipation I felt while reading that section of the book. 
I cried a total of 3 times reading this and it was all towards the end. 
1) When I was convinced Flint was a goner. He's a favorite of mine
2)When Jaxon actually DID die. MY whole brain was like ???Wtf???
3)When grace finally realized that she loved Hudson. Because I too am completely in love with him.
I was also ASTONISHED when I learned that her bond to Jaxon was fake but then when I looked back on it it made so much sense. 
Finally, that plot twist of an ending had me punching the air. I need to know where everyone is but more than that, what does the string do that Hudson says he needs to tell her about??

Natalie Eller

I really wanted to make it thru this series but 😭 I got so bored with 7 hrs left. I’m all for a long book but it’s so completely unnecessary in this story. I hate not finishing books but it had to be done. Two stars bc I did like the first half

Zoe Deckard

I absolutely love these books. I find myself so wrapped up enjoying the story. It’s fun and pulls me out of my life. I like Hudson far better than Jaxon, he’s better for Grace, so I’m glad they get more time together. I love how Grace really develops her sense of self appreciation. The book can be silly at times, but it’s a great light read and perfect brain candy. Can’t wait for the next one.

           I am currently reading Covet, like I said I want to finish the series I have pre-ordered the other two books. Currently, I am liking this book but it isn't a fast read either, it slowed down on the constant problems which I like but we aren't character building in between, you follow Grace and Hudson where they go but you know nothing of the others and the problem they may be handling with Jaxon, we need a flash between occasionally to keep you on your edge about what's going on "back home"
