For those that read smut normally this is nothing but for YA the content is really pushing the boundaries. I say its written for 13 and 14 year olds but I rated it at 16+ because there are some steamy scenes and they get even more steamy in future books. It feels like the author is talking down on YA books as a whole even though this is one and the plot is a mess you've got vampires, dragons, werewolves, witches, gargoyles, necromancy, etc as the series continues it just becomes more of a mess of how much chaos can I cause in this series and all of the main characters are ridiculously overpowered.
Its poorly written with major plot holes, and seems to be targeted at 13 and 14 year old's even though the characters are 17. It does have a bit of educational value with how life is like living in Alaska but there's not much else good to say about it. You'll find some diversity in the minor characters, and Grace's best friend back home is LGBTQ.Ĭrave is one of those trashy YA novels, you read it because its so trashy its entertaining. Language is pretty raw with lots of "f-k" and its text-friendly variations, and plenty of everything else.
Grace often mentions the death of her parents in a car wreck and how it brought her to her new school. One character is stabbed to death and others sustain injuries and blood loss. Expect Grace to get injured and saved a lot, and expect some intense supernatural creature fighting. Jaxon is even angrier, though, and once again you may be prompted to have that not-so-fun talk about what a healthy relationship should look like and how to handle stalkers and worse. (Author Tracy Wolff has also written erotica and it shows, though the sexual content is toned down significantly for the teen audience.) Parents who had a problem with Edward's possessiveness and angst in Twilight - sorry, Jaxon is that way, too. The sexual tension is the same: lots of longing and kissing, with perhaps a few longer scenes of kissing and more sultry details than Twilight. In fact, the hot vampire love interest, Jaxon, gives Grace a copy of Twilight when she still doesn't know he's a vampire, hoping she'll figure it out. Parents need to know that Crave is the first book in a series that will remind you very much of Twilight. Jaxon gives Grace a copy of Twilight as a present. Many mentions of Netflix viewing and the show Legacies.
Practically a commercial for the snack faves Pop Tarts and Ben & Jerry's.
