​Book review for Crave by Tracy Wolff
FOUR STARS
(Entangled: Teen, April 7, 2020)
 
Crave provided both entertainment and aggravation. I enjoyed it enough to give it four stars, but I’m not going to read the next four books in the series. I thought of giving it three stars, but a book that won’t let me give up on it earned another star. The story kept me going, wanting to know what happened next, or really more importantly, what was really going on. There was plenty of mystery, tension, and romance to keep me turning pages, though some of those very things sometimes just came out of nowhere and left me wondering why things were as they were. ​Sometimes I felt like the sudden situations weren’t developed enough to be believable. Other times, once secrets were revealed, it left me feeling that the story wasn’t very complex, like it just had some elements hidden to create tension without having a sophisticated enough plot structure to merit taking nearly 600 pages of my time. It was more of the Romance genre than is to my taste, but people who love Romance may like the immediate “I’m so attracted to you because of your perfectly formed pecs and I hate you because you make me feel so angry” Romance elements. People who loved Twilight will probably enjoy this a great deal, as it’s similar enough yet contains unique aspects in its world building to stand on its own.
