this book was infinitely better than the first (and the first was pretty decent). I adored it. I don't know what else to say. funny, sad, heartbreaking, exciting, adventurous. the banter between characters? amazing. the characters themselves? amazing. the pace? amazing. I literally never want this series to end if the next books are like this one.

I can't believe Hudson is finally back?! and he's as ridiculously good looking as I pictured him being. I ALSO CAN'T BELIEVE HE AND GRACE ARE MATES???? Those last chapters were a wild ride but I am #TeamHudson....sorry Jaxon.

Just when I thought the cliffhanger of crave couldn’t be beaten the ending of this one left me yearning so aggressively I am one button away from insta ordering the rest of the series.
There’s tragedy and grief throughout this book and it shows how saving someone or thinking you may have the right idea or plan in place may not always be the case. Not only do we get to see Grace become a strong independent gargoyle in her own right but we see Hudson develop as a character in such a unique manner as he is stuck in graces mind until he can be brought back due to the failed ceremony from the last book.
I couldn’t put this down despite it being a huge book and I cannot sit to get into the rest of this series.

i also found a lot of parts regarding
i was annoyed that the major climax at the end was mainly the
i loved the last line of the book a lot, def a great way to leave off until the next book. the last line points to something that i was hoping for anyways, so now im even more excited to go to the next book. i probably would have given 4 stars if there was less of the fluff since it made the book really long. otherwise, i will probably buy physical copies of the whole series since i’ve been loaning it from my library but like it enough to buy.

i won’t write this too long because i just want to lost myself in the next book. but i just want to mention that i loved every second i read every word on every chapter of Crush. the dangerous but fun Ludares tournament, Hudson’s snipy comments, the characters’ banters, their teamwork and dynamic, the end of The Trial (because The Trial itself pissed me off), THE PLOT TWIST, and so many more!
i’m amazed by Grace as she was embracing her gargoyle, showing people of her amazing ability, and i loved her persistence to go through any challenges that were coming after her. as for Hudson, he’s my new obsession. sassy and powerful but also hilarious and a great emotional support. i also loved Eden and Xavier, and even Nuri—Flint’s mom and a part of the Circle—though I didn’t know where she stand.
my heart was broken when they met the Unkillable Beast and he tapped his chest for the heartstone. he must be freed or i’ll throw a fit and my kindle. but my soul sang when Grace passed The Trial and was showing everyone that she did it all by herself (and some of Hudson’s power, love him) then mocked the Vampire King in public.
overall, Crush surprised me with lots of tense life-or-death-by-a-supernatural moments, hilarious and witty banters, adventurous hours exploring supernatural places with a supernatural gang, and the characters that i want to protect from all the harm and hurt. okay, that’s all, i’m signing off because Covet is waiting for me.
