Crave by Tracy Wolff is a young adult paranormal romance novel that follows the story of Grace, a high school student who is sent to an exclusive boarding school, Katmere Academy, after her parents' tragic death. There, she encounters a world filled with supernatural creatures, including vampires, shapeshifters, and witches. Grace becomes entangled in a complex web of intrigue, romance, and dark secrets when she meets Jaxon, a magnetic and enigmatic vampire prince. As she navigates this new world, Grace grapples with her growing attraction to Jaxon and the dangerous mysteries surrounding Katmere Academy, all while discovering her own hidden powers. The book is a thrilling blend of romance, mystery, and the supernatural, making it a compelling read for fans of the genre.
The most compelling aspect is the allure of supernatural worlds and the romantic tension between characters to be the most compelling aspects of books in this genre. The blend of ordinary teenage life with the extraordinary, like encountering vampires and witches, often adds a sense of escapism and intrigue. These types of books can be emotionally charged and creates a sense of anticipation as the central characters navigate relationships and uncover hidden secrets. The only disappointment I had was that this book didn’t have much plot development or character dynamics. I would recommend "Crave" to fans of young adult paranormal romance who enjoy these types of topics. Ultimately, personal taste plays a significant role in whether this book will be a hit or miss for any given reader.
