Crave

3.5 Stars

Crave is... not great. It's an overly-drawn out young adult series opener, all of its major plot points were easily predictable, and it's a borderline spoof of Twilight— if the cover doesn't spoil you for that right off the bat.

BUT. It's enjoyable and entertaining and I think this could be one of my new guilty pleasure series, in the vein (no pun intended) of The Selection, Shatter Me, Ice Planet Barbarians, so on and so forth. The Percy Jackson-esque chapter titles were one of the highlights of this book, and I found myself unable to put this down at times. My ratings reflect my personal enjoyment over the actual quality of a book, and this one was entertaining as hell.
