3.3/5
Okay, this book is full of vampire, shifter stereotypes. Of course, Jaxon is the hot, angry vamp that any girl would fall for. But, the thing that saved this book for me and is making me read the second one is, Grace was in ways the Stereo-typical ya girl, however, I do feel she was pretty bad-ass and strong in her actions throughout the book. That being said the writing was and is Cringe. Don’t even get me started on AF being used for real in this book! The Editor should not have let that fly, It is one of my pet peeves when fully published books use abbreviations instead of the word (s). The ending seemed a little convenient and I don't really enjoy huge cliffhangers like this book. Also, the book should not have been this long. I feel it could have sat nicely at the 400-page mark. I will read the next book crush but I hope the editing is better and the book is not as long.

Puts a twist on vampire book. I love the human aspect. How the all the factions have flaws. Dragons, and gargoyles

For what it is, it’s quite entertaining. Plus, a mythical creature boarding school always makes for a good read.

Tiktoková senzace o upírech se konečně dočkala českého překladu. Touha je moderní Stmívání, kde jsou navíc čarodějnice, draci a další nadpřirozené bytosti.
Grace se po smrti rodičů vydá na Aljašku ke strýci, který je ředitel na Katmerské akademii. Právě tam se ubytuje i hlavní hrdinka. Postupně zjišťuje, že problémy jako příšerná zima nebo nadmořská výška jsou úplně to nejmenší…
Okamžitě jsem se začetla a nadšení mi vydrželo až do konce. Fakt mě to bavilo. Ale! Je to prostě nástupce slavné upírské série, je to klišoidní, strašně jednoduché a místy přehnané až tak, že to ani nejde brát moc vážně…
Nicméně, v mém případě Touha splnila svůj účel. Je to mé nové guilty pleasure a neskutečně se těším na pokračování, které je v plánu na podzim.

I honestly cannot understand why this was recommended so much. Flat characters. Flat storyline. Flat romance. 15 hours of audiobook and NOTHING HAPPENED. Genuinely, would not recommend this to anyone.

This was very twilight goes to hogwarts coded! I was pretty frustrated with the adults for most of the book.
