𝐏𝐥𝐨𝐭: Grace returns to Katmere Academy with her new boyfriend Jaxon Vega, but not everything is as it seems. As a result of a freak accident, she now carries the soul of her mate's brother inside of her mind. Hudson Vega -- an egotistical, snobbish vampire prince, must learn how to adapt to the confines of Grace's head as she and her friends' journey to collect the four sacred objects needed to complete the ritual to remove Hudson from her life and get rid of him once and for all. 

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞: Paranormal, Romance, Mystery, YA

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬: This story is best comparable to the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer and Insurgent by Veronica Roth. 

𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰: Listen. Crave was good. It was marketable. It was the bread and butter of teen vampire media. But without the success of Crave, there was no way this book would ever sell as well as it did. I enjoyed Crush. Like, way more than I should have. Hudson had the most character development out of everyone else in the entire novel, and somehow we were supposed to hate him? Once again, Grace had little to no development other than a few quick oneliners, which didn't do justice to the ending at all. The sudden arch in hers and Jaxon's relationship at the end (spoilers) was obviously just a quick segway into a love triangle that I bet my ass will take place in the third book.
