Can we talk about Flint? I loved him so much. I also really loved her dynamic with her cousin Macy, and just Macy as a character in general. I liked Grace as a protagonist, and I look forward to seeing where she will go in the next book.

Since the paranormal genre was so over-saturated, it’s hard for them to feel original, but the plot of Crave has enough going for it to make it stand out among the rest.


It’s like Twilight, but revamped for teens in 2020 (re-”vamped”… get it? I’m sorry I’ll stop). Meanwhile, the plot itself can be a little cliche at times, but for the most part is just fun. The book is fast-paced, but not overly so. The chapters are fairly short, and things are constantly happening, making the plot move along easily. PlotĬrave is a long book, but it really doesn’t feel like it. I’m really excited for the sequel, so we can learn more about them. Speaking of the fantasy aspects, we get a lot of different paranormal creatures in this book and I found them all really interesting. It really grounded the book despite all of the fantasy aspects. There were a lot of things I never really thought of (such as altitude sickness, daylight, etc) that were incorporated into the story very well. The setting is really interesting, the school is very atmospheric, and I loved that it’s set in Alaska. Also, can I just mention the chapter titles? They are so fun and I love them! This book is very self-aware, and I loved that a lot. The overall tone of the book is campy and fun, it knows its cliche. Some of the lines feel a little juvenile, and almost as if it’s trying too hard to appeal to teens, but they’re easy to look past and relatively infrequent. It’s a little more description-focused than dialogue, but Grace’s inner monologue is definitely entertaining. The writing in this book is really lighthearted and easy to read.
