Crave, Crush, Covet Series by Tracy Wolff
This series is personally one of my favorites. Grace is basically a human and she enters a school in the chill of Alaska which enrolls vampires, dragons, werewolves, witches, and all the other paranormal creatures. This soon to be turned into movie series is so freaking amazing that you would not be able to stop unless it’s all over. It will break you and mend you in ways that will be so satisfying that it will leave you with an emptiness when it ends.
The friendship it portrays between every character and the heartbreaks they go through together will make you swoon and beg for more. With equal amounts of jokes and an equal amount of thrill with all the possible emotions existing in the world, this series will give you a major reading slump. Because u assure you that after reading this one, you would just try to find these characters in every other book you read. And trust me, you can’t get enough. The last book in the series – Court us set out to be released on January 22. Till then, read these three books and you would know what I was exactly talking about.
We Were Liars by E. Lock
We were liars – a book that will literally shake the floor beneath your feet. It will take you to the very first page again as soon as you read the last line. We recommend you keep a box of tissue handy, because in no way will you be able to stop your tears. It will bring us and actually give you personal attack vibes on all those areas where it actually hurts the most. You might have seen this one all around the book recommending places and let me clear it up to you, it’s totally worth the hype.
It’s clearly not for people who are under the age of 16, at least because that’s how intense and twisted and dark it gets. There’s a lot of mixed ratings out there and reviews that go from worse to best. But it’s definitely worth a read. Find out for yourself if that’s what it should be. A group of friends – four to be exact grow up in a family that is broken and rich and yet has differences so deep at times it will chill your blood. The Sinclairs are filthy rich and have lost so much that at the end you would just bang your head and wish that life was better. For them and somehow for you too.
