Reviews

It was a little too wholesome, despite the storyline of forbidden love and supposedly dark themes. Would definitely appeal to younger teens. Enjoyed the book for the most part though.

Crave was a really good read for me. It was fast paced, interesting with a mix of paranormal beings that I’m sure we are going to learn more about as the series continues.

One of the things I like most about Crave is that the story is told from alternating points of view, this way we get to know what is happening to both Savannah and Tristan. Savannah was a nice character, she tries to be strong and follow the rules but it gets hard since there is no precedence for someone like her. She is a little insecure, but I sure don’t blame her! I loved Tristan, he is a handsome, protective, and loving character and I really enjoyed seeing the world (and Sav) from his perspective. The rest of the characters were well developed, but absent on the last half of the book. I really liked Ann; she is a good friend and deals with the “strangeness” that surrounds her very well.

The writing was easy to follow and at times funny. The plot was well developed (if a little predictable) especially since we are introduced to a new paranormal “universe”. To me the forbidden romance takes precedence over the paranormal, and I really enjoyed that. I will definitely read the sequel.

About the cover: The cover is really pretty and both the color read and the natural setting is a significant part of the story. I also like the placement and font of the title and the contrast of colors.
