***Note: I'm going to do my absolute best to write a review without too many spoilers, so bear with me and proceed with caution.
Court is the 4th book in the Crave series by Tracy Wolff. This contemporary fantasy continues the story of Grace Foster, who must now take down the Vampire King and stop him before he becomes a god. To do that, she'll need an army, and she looks to none other than the Gargoyle Army to help her take him down.
Of course, nothing can ever come easy to Grace (or any main character for that matter), and she's faced with needing to prove herself to the army if she hopes for them to follow her into battle.
In this book, many questions are finally answered, including what Hudson promised Grace with her ring, and the secret behind Grace's green string. Of course, we have new reveals that were super satisfying, including a betrayal, some new characters, and a few returning characters that we all love! (Enter Remy and Calder now please!)
Overall, I didn't enjoy this one as much as the other books in the series. But the other books are just so good, that it's hard for anyone to keep topping their own work as a series gets longer and longer. This one felt very much like a "saggy middle" book, but still worth reading if you love Tracy Wolff's world and want to know how it all ends with Grace, Hudson, Jaxon, and the Vampire King!
Happy Reading!

I cannot wait for Charm! This series has me in such a hold. Absolutely obsessed. So much character development and excitement. I love this series so much.
I’m a big fan of Tracy Wolff’s CRAVE series, but COURT is my least favorite of them all. Although I had no problems getting through it, many paragraphs (or even select chapters) could’ve been omitted. It felt as if the author was told by her agent she needed to have X amount of pages for the book to be published or something. So, to abide by that request, she included every single random thought Grace and/or Hudson had. (If only I was exaggerating.)
The ramblings dived VERY deep down into Grace’s insecurities about whatever subject matter she got fixated on. By the time she stopped and got back to her reality, I couldn’t remember the purpose of what she was doing, where she was at, or - at times - what I read before the excessive ramblings.
Despite my slight dislike for the fourth installment, it was still a great read and fuels my excitement for CHARM (5) and CHERISH (6).

This paranormal fiction is filled with edge-of-your-seat adventure as Grace, Hudson, and all the fantastic characters navigate difficult choices, their own sorrows, and a self-righteous antagonist. This team of young adult students has come a long way since they began at Katmere Academy, and we see even more personal and heroic development as they fight for each other and for others. This story is action-packed. I can't wait to see what comes next.
At first glance, this book is long, with so many chapters. This book begins with Hudson's POV; after the battle, he is with Grace in his room, and she seems out of it. But we get a first-hand look at Hudsons fears and why. They have been thru a lot together and lost some very good friends. Hudson realizes what he must do and blames himself for all that is gone.
This book gets young adults steamy nothing is overly described, but some are insinuated. Grace goes on an adventure with Alistair and gets a truth bomb dropped on her. Lots of drama and political plotlines are almost like moves on a chessboard for Grace and her friends. However, the adventure and life and death situations don't stop; there is always another piece of the puzzle to complete the ultimate task.
I love Hudson and Grace together; they work so well and compliment each other. I also love the entire cast and crew of Jaxson, Flint, Macy, and others in this story. This book gets sad as our team of unlikely heroes gets outsmarted and loses people I never saw, from the vampire court to the gargoyle court; this book sure does contain a ton of adventure.
This story is nail-biting good as we watch Grace navigate through so many choices and grow as a person and a Queen. The adventure doesn't stop there, and so many pieces get revealed. I'm amazed at the interconnections. This story solved many issues in the past books, so I'm interested to see what will come next. But this story did end right before another adventure.
