No one survived the last battle unscathed. Flint is angry at the world, Jaxon is turning into something I don’t recognize, and Hudson has put up a wall I’m not sure I’ll ever break through.
Now war is coming, and we’re not ready. We’re going to need an army to have any hope of winning. But first, there are questions about my ancestors that need answers. Answers that might just reveal who the real monster is among us.
And that’s saying something in a world filled with bloodthirsty vampires, immortal gargoyles, and an ancient battle between two gods.
There’s no guarantee that anyone will be left standing when the dust settles, but if we want to save this world, I have no choice. I’ll have to embrace every part of me...even the parts I fear the most.
Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tracy Wolff is a lover of vampires, dragons, and all things that go bump in the night.

She has written all her sixty-plus novels from her home in Austin, Texas, which she shares with her family. tracywolffbooks.com
it should be a 3.5, but I'll stand by a 4 star since the plot lines are interesting. I've been thoroughly enjoying this series—it's compelling, well-paced, and rich with intriguing plot lines. The overarching story has kept me engaged from the beginning, and each installment builds meaningfully on the last.
That said, I found the portrayal of the female lead in this particular book somewhat frustrating. While she’s depicted as physically strong and capable, her emotional and mental resilience feel underdeveloped. In the previous book, she came across as overly whiny, and in this installment, she's burdened with a constant sense of guilt and responsibility for everything that goes wrong. She apologizes excessively and seems to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders, which makes her feel less like a strong, well-rounded character and more like a vessel for self-blame.
It would be refreshing to see her evolve into a more emotionally grounded and mentally resilient figure—someone whose strength isn't just physical, but internal as well. Despite this critique, the series remains a great read overall, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the story continues to unfold.
Finally getting better so I had the energy to listen to audio books again and omg 😩. I’m absolutely hooked. This book series has me completely. Another 5/5⭐️ read and I can’t wait to see how it goes!
This series is just so wholesome that it almost had me in tears multiple times but also wishing I had someone like Hudson. If I don’t get someone like him then I don’t want him. This is the fourth book, part 1 and we get to follow what happens in the last book. More secrets are unraveled and more friends turn to foes. With the students and school gone they now have to figure out how to save everyone, but can they really fix everything this time? Or will this time break them for good?
This series if you love a good YA/new adult (not sure which) romantasy then check this one out! I absolutely LOVE it and can highly recommend giving it a try. There’s never a dull moment but do keep in mind, this part is a longer one! Do I care? No! I will now dive back in and use my last few hours to start at least to listen to the next part!
Vampires, werewolves, dragons and witches, oh my! I love all the action in this supernatural world, as well as watching Grace become the gargoyle queen! Listening to a full cast in the graphic audio rendition makes it even better! On to the next book in the Crave series!
Grace is deep in the magical trenches now — not just surviving, but leading. The Vampire Court is a den of manipulation, threats, and very inconvenient truths. Hudson is still the king of “I love you but also I will keep huge secrets.” And Jaxon? Yeah… we’re all feeling that ache in the background.
In this first half of Court, expect:
Shocking political twists (and a few magical sucker punches)
Grace wrestling with destiny, betrayal, and her own terrifying potential
Hudson finally cracking that emotional armor (and we are here for it)
Jaw-dropping reveals that reshape everything you thought you knew
Also: The Trial Room scenes. Those voice actors did not come to play. 😮💨
💖 Character / Audio Reactions:
Grace’s anger is your new battle cry Hudson’s quiet regret and dry sarcasm? Ear-candy levels of addictive Jaxon’s presence is smaller but still aching Macy and Eden holding the emotional line? We love a girl gang Flint’s protective chaos is an emotional buffet
✨ Themes screaming through your headphones:
Leadership means losing things you love
Truth doesn’t always set you free — sometimes it destroys you
Love and pain? Still hopelessly entwined
The line between justice and vengeance is dangerously thin
🔥 Smut Level: Technically clean… Emotionally filthy. Soul-bond intimacy? Off the charts. The way Hudson says Grace’s name? Someone call the authorities. #SmutTags: #HudsonVoiceRuinedMe #SoulBondTensionInHD #OneBedSoulCrisis #CourtroomWhispersOfDesire #LeadAndBleed #EnemiesToEmotionallyDevastatedLovers
