Crave by Tracy Wolff was a huge waste of my time. The only good thing that came out of this reading experience is that I read it for free from the library and didn't waste my money too.

Review

Nothing significant happens for pretty much the entire book. The last 40-60 pages is where things actually happen. Keep in mind, this book is almost six hundred pages of nothing. It took me so long to finish because I couldn't care less about what happened to the MC, I only finished it because I wanted to add it to my Goodreads goal. Crave is basically a Twilight knockoff but worse than Twilight.

Grace had no personality... oh sorry, her personality was Jaxon. All she thinks about is Jaxon, all she talks about with other characters is Jaxon. It's giving psycho stalker, especially in the beginning of the book when she only saw a glimpse of him for like two seconds and starts immeadiately obessing over him. Grace is supposed to be seventeen, but she reads like a twelve year old who is experiencing their first crush. As a reader, I learned nothing about who Grace was as a person, other than her parents died and she's obessed with Jaxon. Somehow, more bland than Bella Swan. Grace is not a strong, independent FMC, she's so useless the entire book. Grace continuously pointing out that "everyone was staring at me", "all eyes were on me", was redundant and irritating.

Jaxon was just a knockoff Edward Cullen, who was even more unbelievable as a character. His whole feud with Flint was a worse version of Edwatd and Jacob's feud. Jaxon just magically knows everything that's going on even when he's not there and just appears out of thin air to save Grace. He's so angsty and misunderstood, he's not like other guys at Katemere *eye roll*. Jaxon was just slightly less bland than Grace because we actually got to know more about his backstory. His Sadboi™️ act got old real quick and he just became annoying. "Everyone is scared of me", Sir, please get some help that's not a flex.

    Overall, Crave by Tracy Wolff was not a fun book about a supernatural school, instead it was a Twilight knockoff that was worse than the source material. Do not waste your time reading this book.

You've been warned!

Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers Spoilers! Spoilers!

The plot twist was so dumb. How did Lia find Grace who lived all the way in California and orchestrate her parents' murder? Like it doesn't make any sense and it wasn't explained. She literally ruined a random girl's life because her boyfriend was killed by his brother and wanted revenge by killing his mate (Grace) who had no idea Jaxon existed... huh? Also, being mates with someone makes you an obsessed stalker? This book was so dumb.
