The best in the series, so far. A lot of different adventures. I think Wolff does a great job with writing multiple characters but keeping a solid story line throughout

This book seems to have a lot of standing still in a holding pattern.
Grace has a lot of wishy washy back and forth thoughts about Hudson. And Jaxon.
Jaxon has some pretty tough stuff happen to him. Im not really sure what even happened.
Im pretty confused about the particulars on a lot of things. For example, isn’t the vamp in the cave the boys mom? And also, how old is Jackson? If Hudson is at least 200yrs. Also, why did Hudson just graduate before he was killed?
Thankfully, the modern day slang of the moment is toned down after the first book. The pop culture references are still on full blast, unfortunately. IMHO this really dates a book. Also, take a shot for every time you hear ‘blown out pupils’ ugh-gag.
Not to mention, no one in this book ever sleeps, and Grace upchuck reflex is on a hair trigger! Honestly, i have no idea how she is still here, what with the lack of sleep/no food! Its not just her though, they all are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
We get to meet some interesting new creatures.
The story starts to pick up at the end, the giants, the prison. Though, honestly the prison timeline was a bit squandered if you ask me, and a bit anticlimactic. Not sure why Grace has chances to talk to ppl and simply doesn’t when it’s important. Also, completely obvious that forgiving yourself was the answer.
Not sure how Hudson can still fade/get beat up a billion times, even when the cuffs make you lose your magic? Also, how the actual heck does vamp venom kill a vamp? That doesn’t make sense, especially after H said the only thing that can kill one is to remove their fangs(also, huh?) also also, why are they invisible in a mirror, but not a camera? *scratches head!
Also, why does Grace keep getting these new magic powers, and everyone just acts like they knew all along? Like, now she can heal people? Did i just miss that before? Or is this some kind of foreshadowing for her first aid kit?
This book also has soooo many psychology sound bites and throwaway lines. This girl knows how she feeeellllzzz, can spot designer label a mile away, and know artist works at a glance. Not sure why a regular girl from San Diego would know any of that, but Gracie sure does, never fear!
I feel that this story really skips over giant, important, relevant, and interesting chunks of the story. They are really long, but most of it doesn’t really matter. The good stuff-the meat and potatoes, we just skip for the pop-tarts and Dr. Pepper. They read fast and easy. But I’m missing a lot.
Im still really enjoying the whole story. Just have a few gripes.
The audiobook is not my favorite. The ladies Hudson Voice/Accent never stops irritating me(though it isn’t done any favors due to his short replies.) her New Orleans doesn’t do it for me either.
Also, I’m pretty sure the Hudson fellow is actually Australian, not British. Bugs me too. Well, i just looked it up, and it’s unclear, but I’m thinking he is actually American, so i guess that may be the problem.

I have been pretty outspoken on my blog about my love for Crave, the Crave series and for Tracy Wolff. Today is a big day! Book 3, Covet has come out into the world. I got the insane privilege to read this early and have been chomping at the bit to talk about it. I am going to do my best to keep spoilers out of this review, as I always do, but for this it might be a little tough. I have so much to say and so much love for this book. So, without further ado, let’s get right into it!
I have so many thoughts and I have a feeling I’m not going to even be able to articulate them correctly or make anything make sense. What a ride. This was a rollercoaster and I did not want to get off. I was ready to ride the wave over and over again, despite my emotions being ripped apart. This was a bundle of nerves, pain, sadness, happiness, and HURT all wrapped into one chained book. The story picks up right where we left off in Crush, well kind of. We end up at Xavier’s funeral and within the first ten pages my heart was already breaking. I felt for Macy. I really did. But, once you got into it, the drama started and just didn’t stop. There was SO MUCH HAPPENING! Poor Grace, Poor Jaxon, Poor Hudson. I felt so badly for all of them. It really was a book of so many different journeys. I felt so many emotions. I can’t even put them into words. It’d be almost impossible to describe each emotion I felt.
The story arc within Covet was so well developed and explored. I also loved that some things from Crush and Crave are still a mystery. Granted it’s not big things besides Grace still not getting her memory of those four months back, but it adds to the intrigue of what could possibly happen in Court. I think my favorite part of the whole book was their time in New York! I told y’all no spoilers. But, it was such a beautiful addition and really added to the world and how expansive this world of paranormals really is. I know the big thing going into this would’v been the love triangle. I have my allegiance or favorite, but I went in with an open mind. Tracy did such a phenomenal job explaining what was going to happen, closing or opening doors and allowing feelings to grow or wither. It was spectacular. I appreciate the fact that Grace is so conflicted and continually changes her mind. It really speaks to how I was about boys at her age- SOOOO indecisive. Hell, if I had two super hot dudes interested in me when I was her age- I’d avoid choosing too. I think the characters within the story develop and grow beautifully. I think they stay true to themselves while still learning and becoming better people. This book really showcases Grace and Macy’s strength and perseverance. It gives you so much in 686 pages of glory. I am still not over it. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be over it. This was incredible! Tracy knocked it out of the park once again! I can not WAIT for Court!

3.25⭐️ I did enjoy this and will continue the series, but there were many times I found myself becoming bored and just waiting for the book to end rather then being present with what was happening within the story.

I know I've fallen in love with a series when I shed real tears for fictional characters. I can't remember the last time I was this into a series. I've missed out on sleep because I just could not stop reading. Grace and her endless monologues are still annoying, but clearly I'm able to move past that because the other characters are great. On to book four!
not gonna lie i just really like shitty paranormal romance...
i see some reviews shitting on the series, which i get because there are plot decisions in here that just are bad.
but..... mm i like hudson more than jaxon. there i said it.
anyways the scene on pg 556, had me giggle and i kept rereading it because it was just actually funny to me. idk i never audibly laugh at books but that scene made me.
hudson & grace 4eva <3 :c
