Loved the action and additional world building in this book, we learned a lot of new things about these characters and their backstories and it was still interesting and new four books in.

Nine. Hundred. Pages. For what?? Tracy, my girl, this is unnecessary. 
I said in my last review (covet, #3) that the writing was getting marginally better with each book and I’d now like to formally retract that statement. Grace has become insufferable, but it’s not ALL the characters fault, it’s just bad writing. Her internal monologue is so painfully repetitive that it’s near insulting to the reader. If an editor had cut out all the rendundant content you could literally remove hundreds of pages. Having finished this book, I wish there weren’t more. I will read them, of course, but I’m not overly happy about it. I will see this through! 

A few of the most heinously abused and repeated phrases in this book that I hope I never have to read again: 
“My Mate” - we get it. Stop saying it every other sentence 
“You’re ridiculous, you know that right?”
“Force a smile/grin that I’m far from feeling”
“Smile/grin that doesn’t reach his/her/their eyes” 
“Choke back bile in the back of my throat” 
“Laughs without humor”

Side note: for all the novels in this series up until this one I have switched back and forth between reading the ebook and listening to the audiobook to get through them quickly. Don’t listen to this audiobook - the narrator regularly gets the characters accents mixed up mid dialogue and it’s SO confusing. (For example: They’ll say something in Hudson’s voice that Hudson did NOT say, and I’d have to go back to the book to figure out what actually happened in conversation). There’s also continuity issues with pronunciation that is not earth shattering but bothered me to no end (for example, Mehki’s name is suddenly pronounced entirely differently in this book versus the first 3). I had to stop listening and just trudge thru this one the old fashioned way, this perhaps lent to me being more triggered by the writing 🤣

Book four of The Crave Series picks up right where book three left us. Grace, Hudson, and the rest of the gang are still shocked by their school being empty of all the students and adults. They know it must be Cyrus, and they are correct.

In the fourth book of the series, Grace discovers more about her past, learns more about the gargoyle court, and have to work together to stop Cyrus from changing the world as we know it. We meet new characters, and are reconnected with beloved characters of the past books.

Each book in The Crave series gets better and better! As I said before if you love monsters, Alaska, dramatic fight scene, and soul mate connections, then this book series is for you! Book 5 and 6 coming soon! I can't wait!

This answered so many questions and honestly felt like it could’ve been the end of this series until the epilogue. I thought it was really cool that the epilogue held several scenes from Hudson’s POV, and that they essentially waited to have sex until Grace was over 18 (or at least that’s what I thought but maybe it was just very ambiguous fade to black). I am so sad that Calder, Xavier, Luca, Raphael, Liam, and Byron are dead. Such blows that I genuinely wasn’t sure I was gonna recover from. It’s been a hot minute since I read a book where not only characters died and didn’t come back but also that more than one character I cared about died. But Flint and Jaxon finally seem to be mates if not it’s very strained right now. I like that there were scenes talking about Flint prosthetic’s and Eden flirting with a girl, and the Non binary character Dawood. I really enjoyed them. Did not like Chastain at all.

absolutely amazing. Tracy Wolff you absolutely killed it once again. i’m obsessed with the fact that there’s a non binary character and i love them to the ends of the earth. Charm and Cherish can’t come out fast enough.

YOU MOTHERFUCKER WHY DID YOU KILL CALDER SHE WAS AN ICON AND I LOVED HER!!! the skeleton army was a twist i didn’t expect. why did grace make so many deals just to not use any of them? and why not use her demi-god powers earlier in the battle against cyrus? she had so many tools at her disposal and didn’t use most of them. i don’t get why the order had to die and why liam betrayed them? i wish that whole plot line was fleshed out a bit more.
