i needed some time to get used to Crave, partly because it has been a while since i’m surrounding myself with YA books/dramas and partly because the first few chapters were predictable and screamed Twilight. but then it sprinkled some humor that were right up my alley and some of the chapter’s title were interesting, so i decided to read on.
imo it got better as the story goes. the way Wolff’s dropped the puzzle pieces slowly and let me piece them back one at the time were what got me hooked. “i knew there’s something going on but i didn’t know what it is exactly but i’m going to find out” was what i felt while gobbling this book in one day.
also, the dynamic (read: tension) of the characters was intriguing! every time an accident happened that could cause an all out war between cliques—as Grace first called it—i never let my eyes wandered off of my kindle because who doesn’t love some drama or fights that will include fangs, fire, howls, and magic?
as for the characters, i like Grace just fine but the one who grew on me the most is Jaxon. i thought he was the regular cold, unfeeling, mean, and stuck up vamp but turned out his past is worth to he explore and his take on the events happened were interesting for me. i hope to see more of the Order, Macy, and Flint on the second book!
read Crave if you’re craving for a fast-paced YA—which the FMC goes into an elite supernatural boarding school in the middle of a freezing Alaska—that is filled with tensions that could blow up in nasty brawls, some funny and heartwarming moments, gothic boarding school, mentions of delicious food, and more. it may seems a lot like every other supernatural book you’ve come across but the last few chapters will have you thinking otherwise.

J'ai eu l'impression de lire une parodie de parodie de Twilight. Tellement de clichés réunis dans un même tome...
Et tant de niaiseries. J'ai levé les yeux au ciel, râlé ou soufflé un nombre incalculable de fois.
Certes ce sont des adolescents mais cela ne justifie pas à mes yeux cette tartine de mièvreries.
Sans compter certaines absurdités et le fait que l'héroine ne capte rien avant 300 pages alors que les autres personnages font des bourdes toutes les 5 pages.
Bref, je n'ai pas aimé et je ne lirais pas la suite !
