Covet by Tracy Wolff
3.0

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.
