It took a long time to get to the “exciting stuff.” But once you got 50% of the way through the book, it was impossible to put down.

3.0

i thought parts of this book were boring, mainly the slice of life stuff or talking about the sport ludares. i will say i was absolutely a sucker for the

dancing in the laundry room scene

, but the rest of it could have been toned down a bit.

i also found a lot of parts regarding

jaxon and hudson’s interactions with grace

to be super cheesy in a cringey way. i wish some of that was different but it wasn’t the worst either.

i was annoyed that the major climax at the end was mainly the

ludares trial. i thought it was kind of weird that a highschool sport was meant to be some intense event that allows someone to hold a seat at the governing body that controls like all of supernatural beings and their laws.

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 don’t know what to say other than finished reading Crush feels like i just rode a rollercoaster, tossed and flipped in the air, lost most of my sanity and my breath, but i survived all the craziness. i concluded that it was a spectacular ride.

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.

and what i’m crazy is that my gut was right and Grace x Hudson = mates. sure, Jaxon was nice and i applauded him for the dance amongst the aurora borealis but i wasn’t 100% invested in Grace x Jaxon. then Hudson showed up, and throughout his interaction with Grace it just clicked to me that he was the one. and it’s true so i can’t wait devouring the next book!

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.

A little better than the first one, but ya know... it's like watching trash tv. You can turn your brain off and just enjoy the chaos.

Mad that Xavier was killed off, like what was the point in his character to just be killed. I get someone had to die at that point but it was a dumb decision.

Also lmao at the ending. Jump scare for the narration change to Hudson.

2/5 🌶️

Now this was FUN! What an awesome sequel. Book 1 was good, but it gets sooo much better!

Plot: 4/5
Characters: 5/5
Writing: 4/5

I was really unsure about the whole gargoyle thing, but it’s actually a nice change of pace! It’s nice to have a new style of “paranormal” to read about.

The banter between Grace and Hudson 😍 I knew that ending would happen, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t LOVE every second of that last line! I feel bad for Grace and this love triangle, but I’m totally team Hudson. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out!

A huge step up from Crave and a really great read. It's like Harry Potter and twilight had a beautiful YA baby

A great step up from the last one, it delved deeper into world building and added new characters while developing the characters we already know and fleshing out their personalities even more. I would definitely reread to see what I missed the first time around because there’s little Easter egg details that are easy to miss throughout.
