Charm (Crave, 5)

I'd wanted to read this book since finishing book 2, but it's probably me in the waiting I found it a struggle to get through it all. I will re read it at a later date and give a full review. At about 700 pages it is long. I think reading this after book one might be better despite what Tracy says. Because you'll feel the benefit of it.

I love this series! And I’m 28 (so you know my era was the YA books now turned into movies) and this series is by far better than the twilight series in my opinion. Twilight is a Great series, had me in a chokehold fr. But Crave takes the cake baby! From one creative that writes to another. She understood the assignment. I love how relationships are developing and the growth. How each book she grows into a phenomenal woman, finding her strength and voice! Hudson is just swoon factor. Tracy sis. You did your thing boo. Only problem I have is WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT 6 MONTHS for all the tea! Ugh. Still love the book tho lol

Book 5 in the Crave series WOW!!!!! I went into this book with high expectations, but those have been completely blown out of the water in the best way possible. It honestly exceeded all my expectations and kept me all up in my FEELS throughout the entire book. Charm is an epic slow burn romance ripe with emotion! Delving more into Hudson and Grace was a treasure. It also filled in many gaps from previous books. Of course the characters and the world building were detailed and descriptive. Charm will be a book to read over and over and over. Adapt...Changes...Fear...Curse...Time Rift...Shadow Realm... Growing Slow Burn Romance...Swoon-Worthy Love Story...Shadow Promise... "I love you with a love that shall not die, until the sun grows cold and the stars grow old."

“And finally, there’s another string I can’t pull my gaze from in this tangle of connections. It’s a bright, electric blue, and it’s gossamer thin, but it is very definitely there. And it’s glowing ever so slightly. And somehow I know, even before I reach out a fingertip to touch it, that it connects to me.” - Charm This book follows Grace and Hudson in their time after Crave, when Grace first turned into a Gargoyle and in doing so trapped Hudson in with her. An epically hilarious coming together love story. This book blew me away with all the emotions. I laughed, I cried, and smiled like hell through the whole thing. I once thought Hudson stole my heart, but nothing like he did in Charm. Getting to the core of who he truly is and just how wonderful he turned out given the upbringing he had endured. No wonder Grace fell for him twice. I honestly don’t think anyone who reads this series couldn’t help but swoon over their love story.

I pre-ordered this book after reading the others in the series. I fell in love instantly with Crave. Jaxton was swoon worthy, yet slightly annoying. Then, we met Hudson Vega. Hudson was the charater I was craving in this series. He had an edge that I wanted for Grace. I knew he loved her, and I knew he was what she needed. I loved reading about them falling in love (her for the second time), watching it like a movie playing in my head. Filled with all the teen angst mixed with life or death decisions. I just needed to read how Hudson fell in love with Grace, and witness everything I missed in those months Grace lost. At the end of Court, I got so excited because I just knew I was going to get what I wanted. When Charm was released, I kept seeing reviews about how this book went back in time....yada yada. That was literally the point of the entire book. This book was to show us how Grace and Hudson found themselves, each other, and set the pace for the continuation for this series. I absolutley loved it. It was hard for me to revert back to Grace being very immature at times (I forget she is 18 sometimes), because of how her character matured over the other 4 books. But, seeing her character progression, and Hudson learning to trust someone and himself....WOW!!! Charm will be added to my "Comfort Book" selection with the rest of the series. Come on March, I need more!
