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.

Non spoiler Review 

 This was fun, a little bit of cringe at times but all fun.  It also got a little slow at times for me but it often picked right  back up and had me shocked and fangirling. I really liked it, maybe even more than the first.





Spoilers Version Review 


Spoilers below, you have been warned 





This was fun, really enjoyed it, maybe even more than the first book. The first one had more of a mystery action aspect to it, and this one was more action/adventure aspect with some amnesia trope in there. At times it did get a little slow especially with the Ludares game and stuff, but then it would pick right back up and have me jaw dropping and fan girling. I also did not think I would like Hudson… but to my surprise, I do think I ship him and Grace more! Sorry to Jaxon 🥺💔 
    The bonus chapters of Hudson POV in my copy were really interesting to see more of his side as well. 
   Definitely looking forward to reading the next book, as well as the book that focuses on the time Hudson and Grace were “trapped” together. 

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 🌶️

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.

This book was way longer than it needed to be. It wasn’t that bad but it wouldn’t been better if 200 pages shorter 

Twilight, but make it Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, but also make it the Harry Potter and the goblet of fire, but also make it gen z. 
Not as good as good as the first but enjoyable. You can see the final page twist coming from 4000 miles away, but I don’t hate it. Just a little cliche.
