Crave (Crave #1) by Tracy Wolff
Rating: 3.5 Stars
I finally understand why people compare this series to Twilight so much. The covers are very similar, and they are both teenage angsty vampire romance stories. In addition to being similar to Twilight, I also feel like Crave was reminiscent of Vampire Academy.
I loved the more traditional vampires (no sparkling in the sunlight - yay!) and the inclusion of more paranormal species. Nothing felt thrown in just for the heck of it. Everything had a purpose. I also really enjoyed the relationship between Grace and Jaxon.
On the other hand, I didn't enjoy the pop culture references. It got very redundant towards the end, and I especially did not enjoy the slang/abbreviations (wtf, fml, af, and so on). It didn't really add anything to the story, and it took me out of the reading experience when they appeared.
Crave was still very entertaining and I look forward to reading Crush to see what happens next.
