Crave [Dramatized Adaptation] #4, Part 1
Court (Part 1 of 2) [Dramatized Adaptation]
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!

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.

Graphic Audio did an amazing job per usual (why I gave 2 stars instead of 1), but the story itself.. this was so pointless, we're on book 4 & honestly basically nothing has been explained to us nor has anything happened of any real significance & I'm genuinely wondering wtf the point of this series is. I hate to be so harsh but by book 4 I don't think it's unreasonable to expect some freaking answers by now. It's just nonstop falling into obvious traps & learning absolutely nothing in the process.
*spoiler alert after this point*
why wouldn't you just tell the gargoyles the stupid plan involving the stone? why in the world would the gargoyles even help her if she's just gonna screw them over by stealing from them & not telling them anything going on?! why let the leader of the gargoyle army think the evil vampire king's daughter is soooooo talented & amazing & great & blah blah instead of tell them immediately she's working with the enemy & wants to use the gargoyles for power?! I mean they're stuck in a time pocket so why not take out the daughter of the enemy right there & then? one major enemy gone. I honestly don't understand what in the eff was going on in the author's head while writing this unless they genuinely have zero actual ability to think logically in any sense, therefore making the characters absolutely stupid af & can't think logically in any sense & thus continues on a story that has zero point to it anymore other than everyone's so stupid maybe they all deserve to die. I'm sorry but this was absolutely infuriating to torture myself with when I, for some stupid reason thought "well by book 4 there must be answers & explanations finally after 3 books of nothing", clearly I was wrong. The author clearly knows the show Legacies, which means they know about vampire diaries, & even as much as I'm not a fan of twilight, for some reason the author couldn't develop an ability to put an actual plot together & understand people expect answers when you're constantly dangling questions in their face but then refuse to explain anything leaving the readers baffled & confused as to what they're even reading/listening to.. by book 4 I have officially lost my patience of hoping that "the next book" will finally explain things & help me understand wtf the point of this story is & thus my extremely rare angry unfiltered review I have only reserved for books that I genuinely couldn't even remotely try to pretend wasn't horrible & a giant waste of everyone's time.
Unfortunately, I paid for the stupid 2nd half of this audiobook already so unfortunately I'll have to force myself through just half a book more before I can wipe my hands of this entire series.
My honest opinion? watch vampire diaries (the spinoffs the originals & legacies don't make as much sense if you haven't watched VD first) instead, or even watch the twilight movies, it'll be a million times more worth your time than with this series of absolute rambling nothingness garbage to the most extreme extent possible. I really wish I could say otherwise but enough is enough, by book 4 of a 6 book series.. as an author you should be giving your readers actual answers & understanding of wtf you're expecting them to read/listen to otherwise you should've never made it a multi book series in the first place.
*takes deep breath* okay rant over. 😮💨

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!

I’ll give it 5 stars cause the production is amazing but the story is a 2,5/5.

love that the author is adding new creatures in every part. now there are Gods. Cool.

🎧 Court (Part 1 of 2) Dramatized Adaptation by Tracy Wolff
⭐ Rating: 4/5 👑🗡️🖤
📖 Summary:
Plot? Thick.
Trust? Thin.
Tension? Absolutely suffocating.
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.
