Finally! A book that takes its time. It actually spans months and relationships develop! I’m happy that the whole soul plot line was but a blip because when it was introduced I was so annoyed thinking it would take over everything. Just need the internal monologues from Grace to be trimmed way down or skipped all together and I might have given this book 4⭐️. Honestly, you’re in the middle of an all out paranormal battle and you having 5 pages of spiraling thoughts about nothing you need to think about at that moment? I know she’s 18, but I gotta believe almost dying/watching your friends battle would get you focused on the problem in front of you.
EDIT: I would actually never give this book 4⭐️. I forgot about this “a low, deep voice that’s as hot as cayenne pepper and as smooth as the pecan pralines my mother used to love”. The words you are looking for are “a thick New Orleans accent”. Honestly she doesn’t describe anything else like this but for some reason Remy’s accent brought this out.

This was so much better than the second book
“It’s written all over his face—he would disintegrate anyone—everyone—if it means saving me. He would literally set fire to the world.”
Listen I know people are mad that she doesn't end up with Jaxon but holy hell am I glad she doesn't. LOL #teamhudson

I definitely love this series, but this book was a little bit slower for me to fall in love with.
The characters introduced took a while to grow on me and the storyline here wasn’t as gripping as the rest.
We all love to see knicks in the armor of the strong heroes we love but I felt this was a bit too far, and took too many of the main characters to a place that made me feel more sad than hopeful.
But, the storyline ends well… just felt like a harder read

This took me so long to get to and I’m glad I finally made my way back. I love hudson so much!

Covet by Tracy Wolff narrated by Heather Costa and Tim Page, 3 stars.
I felt very conflicted about how to rate this book because overall, I think I liked it more than Crush, mostly because of Hudson, but what really got me was the length. I am a firm believer that no book should be over 100 chapters. I find it to be a natural deterrent to would-be readers including me, but I started in on the audiobooks before I knew how long these books really were. I have said it before and I will say it again, I think that the pacing is good, the length of the chapters and chapter breaks are good, but I think there is just consistently too much going on, in Covet, specifically.
Crave was my least favourite so far because I felt like nothing really happened, which feels weird to say with the whole attempted human sacrifice, but still. It felt lack lustre to me but intriguing enough to continue on through the series. Crush had me going because of (Hudson) the Ludaris tournament, serious Triwizard Tournament vibes, and this book seems to keep me going with the prospect of the prison; But it should have ended there. Covet should have been, and would have worked so much better for me if it had been split into two books. I enjoyed the buildup of the arrest and the intensity surrounding the prison itself, but Covet should have ended with the cliffhanger of the actual arrests.
I loved the entire concept of the prison, I thought it was so cool, but it very well could have been its own book; and I would have preferred it so. First off there was definitely enough included to just split Covet in two, but it also would’ve given Wolff more room to explore a little bit. I also think that Remy could have had a little bit more characterization. And the fact that when they’re leaving Grace feels as though he is as close a friend as Flint and Maisie, that didn’t really make a whole lot of sense to me and where sure, he’s a cool dude, there wasn’t enough of him I feel to warrant Graces’ proclamation.
Speaking of Grace, let's move on to characters. Normally, I don’t vibe with Grace unless she is swooning about Hudson, but at the end of chapter 74 where she called Flint out about having Hudson arrested for the reasons that she forgave Flint, literally breathtaking. I was walking down the street with my headphones on and I physically had to stop moving and stand there with my jaw open listening to her chew him out. I think Grace throughout this book had a great character arc in her realization of herself as a different person with Hudson. I loved Hudson from the moment he appeared and while a tad bit ashamed for that, I like to brag that I was right about him being an amazing person. Picking wildflowers for Grace and having open communication about how he was feeling hurt that he was the only one putting in effort solidified my love. His arc in the prison and in the battle afterwards was amazingly done. Hudson being tormented by his choices and Grace basically telling him that the ends justified the means, and that’s ok really had an effect on winning her over for me. Honestly, I could care less about Jaxon and I am glad he didn’t have a large part in this book. I started liking Jaxon, marginally, in Crush because of how he was in a relationship with Grace. He opened up and was really sweet and I liked it, but as soon as Hudson showed up and started pulling out the real Grace, it was over for him in my mind. I kind of could also care less about Flint but I enjoyed the mechanic he played in this book, and RIP Luca omg. I am also all for shipping Maise and Eden, Eden also, still has my heart.
I seriously cannot wait to listen to the next book and see where this randomness goes.

This book felt like 5 books in one. So long.
Me quedaría a vivir en este libro... todas las emociones que he sentido, daría mucho por volver a leerlo de cero
