One-Sentence Summary:
Grace Foster moves to Alaska after her parent’s death to find the monsters she’s only heard about are real and going to school with her.
My Review:
This book is the reason why many adults think young adult books are terrible. It’s a paranormal romance that simultaneously makes fun of Twilight and is Twilight.
Was this book fun to read? Sure, but it had a lot of issues. To start with, the teenage slang. This book contained multiple utterances of phrases like, “FML,” “sexy af” or just “af,” and used “spilled the tea”. Why??? I don’t understand how this book got published with an overused paranormal romance plot and writing this bad. Y’all. I’ve read fanfiction better.
I posted pictures of some quotes to my Instagram stories on multiple accounts and a decent amount of people DMed me just to ask what on earth the book was and why on earth I was reading it. People.
🚨Spoilers in next two paragraphs!🚨
The romance was also incredibly weak. Grace literally says something along the lines of “I’m not like other girls in romance novels, I won’t fall for a sketchy guy because he’s hot!” No, you just fell for him because he gave you a copy of Twilight, sucked your blood off of his finger, ate a strawberry weirdly to be sexy, and said he loved you after maybe a week of knowing you. So very attractive.
The plot was bad too! It seemed like everything took longer than it did because it was over 500 pages and basically a week (conscious anyways)! It’s so clear that the people are creepy even if they’re not magical creatures, but Grace is left in the dark and doesn’t even question anything until she finds bite marks! And then we find out she’s a freaking gargoyle??? This book was all over the place.
🚨CEASE SPOILERS🚨
Anyways, this book was a hot mess. Horrible writing, questionable romance, and weak plot unite in Crave to make an overall horrible experience that has your friends and family wondering if you’re sane. Would not recommend unless you love Twilight.
