Tracy Wolff

Crave

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.

It's not what I usually read, but I liked the flow and intensity of the story.

Ummm ok first things first…definite Twilight vibes in the beginning with the back and forth but I really enjoyed this a lot especially with the better variety of supernatural creatures!!!! Both Grace and Jaxon have deep pain that they are carrying, love that they found someone who understand that kind of loss!!

I have just discovered Tracy Wolff and all I can say is BRAVO! I would sell my first born to read this book for the first time again (only kidding! …or am I?) The details, the romance, the SUSPENSE! It’s all so incredible! I’m so excited to continue my reading journey into this series!

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. It made me a me a giggly mess at times, and yes it was quite obvious what was going on, up until the very last page. I didn’t see that coming!

An orphan gets dropped off at her uncles boarding school. She finds out way too late it’s a boarding school for vampires, witches, dragons, shifters, etc. It’s mostly a huge love story between Jaxon and Grace

I LOVED the mentions of Harry Styles and Niall Horan!

cringe. it’s like if twilight was written by a 10 year old girl. nothing was good and everything was predictable.

** spoiler alert **
           After her parents' fatal car accident, Grace moves to her uncle Finn's boarding school in Alaska. When Grace arrives at the castle-like prep school, her cousin Macy is eager to help her settle in. As Grace arrives at Katmere, she quickly learns that the other students are hostile towards her, especially Jaxon Vega, a hot, dangerous-looking guy who is the first person she meets. Although Grace is determined to stay away from Jaxon, something about his eyes tells her he is just as lost as she is. There seems to be something or someone at Katmere Academy that wants Grace dead, so Grace may need all the friends she can gather.

I thought it was predictable as fuck. I accurately predicted what would happen, so the outcome did not surprise me. As well as plot holes, the book left me with many unanswered questions.

Compared to Bella, Grace is a slight improvement, but not a huge one. Often, she makes rash, impulsive decisions. There’s not much detail about Crave’s Alaska setting, other than that it’s freezing cold there.

This is a book set in an inaccessible prep boarding school, which reminds me of Hogwarts, but there are no classes or teachers mentioned. It focuses on Grace’s social scene at Katmere, Jaxon and Grace’s romantic tension, and the mystery of why someone wants to kill her.

It felt like a Twilight wannabe story, and the writing kept embarrassing me. I don’t see myself reading this book again.

This book is so full of cliché, sappy romance but I can't help but fall in love with it. I'm not a huge fan of Twilight either but Crave hit different, because when vampires are involved, things get a little bit out of control more like stupid people crying out their undying love for each other but we won't mention that. I picked up this book for fun because I was bored of lockdown and the point of this book is to never take it seriously or you won't enjoy it. 

Backdrop of vampires, witches and scary dragons, Crave follows Grace, who attends an academy full of monsters she didn't know existed before. And as Grace tries to fit in as a mortal, Jaxon Vega, a boy she needs to stay away from keeps luring her back to him. She can't resist but when everything seems impossible, Grace wakes up a deep monstrous disaster she didn't know that she could wake. 

I actually loved all the cliche parts throughout this book because I was just reading some light stuff when turns out I just got too deep into this book. It wasn't disappointing as a lot of readers rated this with 3 stars or lower and honestly, I have a soft spot for any kinds of romance so I dn't regret reading Crave.


  Douchey the first time, blank the second, intense the third, and furious the fourth. His moods change more quickly than my bestie's Insta feed.


I always fall for the main character in any book and I was right — I did indeed liking Grace in this book. She's stubborn, curious about things she shouldn't be and fiercely protects the ones she love. However, she seemed like she had no personality whatsoever? Kind of like a watery Bella from Twilight upgraded.

Jaxon Vega, my oh my. Forgive me for falling for someone I shouldn't but he is yummy. He can be violent but tender, be mean but kind at the same time. He was a little confusing to figure out but we all know he was loving Grace when he denied it.


  Something tells me this boy — and his world famous disappearing act — is going to be the death of me.


Oh yes, reminds of Edward leaving Bella "for good" when in the end they just couldn't resist each other. But that's Twilight and this is Crave. And what I loved the most in this book, is the tension and the plot twists. The plot and the twists in this book happens all so suddenly that I'm just gawking at the book in shock and just screaming out because I was SO not expecting it to happen.

The tension, romance and the plot twists are everything.

AND WHAT WAS THAT ENDING MISS AUTHOR I CAN'T—

my only question is: did she name hudson after lil huddy?

this was so bad. i loved it. 

my only question is: did she name hudson after lil huddy?

Repetitive, long, and I hated the entire boarding school idea. How can the main characters be so annoying?

This was genuinely so good. Okay, yes, it was basically Twilight reskinned and rewritten, but it was different, fun, and if my new book bf ain't Jaxon Vega, idk who is.

It reminds me of if you took the old cartoon Scooby Doo movie that had the monster high school and mixed it with Another Teen Vampire Movie and made it a book. That being said, I think I’m aware that this book was not written for a 28-year-old, and I just stumbled across in on KindleUnlimited. I know myself, so I know I’ll finish the series - because I was also the teenager who holed herself up to read all of Twilight in one weekend.

'Crave is about to become fandom's new favourite vampire romance obsession' Hypable There is nothing normal about Katmere Academy. Nothing, that is, except Grace. Perched on the edge of a rugged mountain in remote Alaska, Katmere Academy is an exclusive and secretive boarding school home to a unique set of students. Witches, shapeshifters and vampires mix within its walls, existing in uneasy cooperation, a fragile web of shifting alliances the only thing keeping them from war. Sent to Katmere after the tragic death of both of her parents, mortal Grace is a curiosity to some - and an affront to others. And when she is viciously attacked within days of her arrival, it quickly becomes clear that someone will go to great lengths to see her dead. Caught at the heart of the warring factions, her life on the line, Grace doesn't have long to decide who she can trust, who she can love - and who she most definitely can't . . . From New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff, Crave is a captivating, addictive young adult paranormal fantasy - with a bite.

Like a new age twilight, bad but somehow works and makes you want to keep reading

Basically Twilight and Legacies combined.
