Ich muss sagen, am Anfang hatte ich echt Probleme ins Buch reinzukommen. Ich weiß nicht, ob es an dem Buch oder mir lag, ich fand Grace echt zickig/nervig, aber nach einem erzwungenen Beiseitelegen und wieder aufnehmen, hat sich meine Wahrnehmung sehr verändert. Ich habe das Buch in Rekordtempo zuende gelesen und genossen. Immer wieder war ich von den Entwicklungen überrascht oder hab an meiner Einschätzung gezweifelt. Ein gelungener erster Band der Reihe. (Ich hab mir direkt Band 2&3 besorgt)

Ok so first of all, it is not a twilight rip off, and i can say that as twilight was the last book ive read. But you know it really has elemntw of twilight and legacies and all of those Vampire stereotypes, but they actually address Thema, which makes this book totally aware of all of its faults, kinda ironic. But you know, if you love the vampire who hates everyone but you and wants to stay away from you but can't type then you're at the right place. I also should say, this book does not include a love triangle.

Addictive. That’s all I have to say about this book. It took me a few chapters to get into it, but then I couldn’t put it down. 

Vampires, witches, werewolves, dragons, and mates? How could it get any better. This series I can already tell is set up to be my guilty pleasure. And a rapidly releasing one at that! 

Highly recommend this very entertaining and easy read!

 Is Crave the next literary masterpiece? Clearly not. Does it deliver everything that it promises? It sure as hell does! It’s funny and addicting and I honestly didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. It’s the kind of book that keeps you hooked and entertained while maintaining a very lighthearted vibe. It almost feels like a bit of a parody on those typical vampire young adult stories and that’s exactly the kind of edge that makes it so interesting! It’s maybe not the kind of book where you’ll find the cream-of-the-top characters (and character development) or a plot that completely blows your mind but once again, that’s not what you are looking for in a book with such a comedic aspect to it (if you are, maybe it’s time to switch expectations). While I usually tend to almost “ignore” the titles of book chapters, Crave’s are so so good, that you’ll have a good laugh just scrolling through the content page. There’s not much else to say except that I’m now very upset that I decided to only read books I already own since I do not own book two in the series so I’ll have to wait to read it 😢 In the meanwhile I do recommend this book, although I think you really need to get into it with the right expectations to be able to enjoy it for what it is!
