^^I CRAVE A SHITE LOAD MORE!^^
4.5
Hands down, Crave is better than the first book in this heart pounding series. Where Covet was an introduction to the other side of Caldwell, Crave is established and brings the jaw drop and goose bumps. The Warden offers up a writing style all her own and some of the greatest leading men, these guys make being good “oh so bad”.
Jim Heron is to the save the world by saving seven souls. He is up against a WICKED biatch. She would make you welcome the antichrist with open arms. The soul Jim believes he must save is someone he knows very well, and brings him back to the life (temporarily) he left behind. He connects with old acquaintances, and the future is looking all kinds of grim for all of them.
Isaac Roth is on the run from something you are not allowed to run from. Being an ex-X-OP, his life is all about running and fighting. Until he gets caught; and the sexy lawyer is making him think about throwing in the towel and facing his demons. Great fantasy, but the person he is running from will kill him and everyone he knows. There is something else at play and Isaac is it finding it hard to figure things out, when an old friend appears (Jim Heron) and is hell bent on keeping him safe it ups his weird metre by a 50, what so important about himself anyways and why does it seem like the world is depending on it. Or so Jim think?
What the book is ultimately about is good vs. evil, and no one is more evil and ridiculous than our villain Devina. Talk about psycho bitch from hell (literally). She is crazy, out of this world and those are the one that make a ‘good’ bad guy. Devina is unlike anything I have read in a long time, she’s evil but I can’t help liking her. Does some serious shit happen? You damn right it does, it all kinds of does. My heart was hurting for Jim in Devina's love dungeon. Jim comes back like a roundhouse kick, all up in your face and making it hurt.
If you are looking for a true romance, it’s not in this book. However, if you want a bad romance (excuse my lady gaga reference), this book has it. This is all about “slam bam thank you mam” kinda shit. No roses and flower petals here, just bad times leading to everlasting love.
I think the Warden has a writing style that is all her own, and I am so glad she keeps to her originality. There are just so many lines in the book that made me smile, only J.R would put those twists on words and have them make total sense. I look forward to Envy, the third book in the series, cus gawd how I love me some Jim, Adrian and Eddie. Lets also not forget Dog, though his scenes were less they were all the more awesome.
SideNote- I think there are two angels, who are secretly in love with each other. They go by the name of Nigel and Colin (and I believe their love might soon be no secret at all). Awww the things that happen in my head ;)

I smell Smexynessss lol.
My highlight is Devina, that bitch so crazy; not just evil.
I loved this book!
