It's entirely possible that I simply need to re-read Covet, because I see everyone else saying that Crave didn't quite live up to the standard set by that book. I disagree wholeheartedly. There was definite chemistry between Isaac and Grier, and the whole bit with Jim and Devina -- well, that was skeevy beyond words. Even though Jim isn't technically the hero of these books, y'all know how much I love a tortured male, and Jim's got it in spades in this one.

I did figure out the twisty twist way b ...more

I was so Disappointed in this installment of Crave. With it being a Ward I did have high expectations and this book just did not reach them.

The story of Isaac and Grier just felt all too familiar. The story in general was an ok read. Not bad but not blow your mind material.

Oh and loved the little tiny snippet for Lover Unleashed!

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This is a book that I really wanted to like if not love and yet it seemd to fall flat for me. I've sat back and had think about it and I think I can see the reasons why.

This book picks up pretty quickly after the events of the first one in the series. Jim is on a high after beating Devina and is bursting with confidence with the fact that he can win this thing. First there is the small matter of dealing with his ex-boss and we find out the only way you leave the company is in a body bag, so thro This is a book that I really wanted to like if not love and yet it seemd to fall flat for me.

This book picks up pretty quickly after the events of the first one in the series. Jim is on a high after beating Devina and is bursting with confidence with the fact that he can win this thing. First there is the small matter of dealing with his ex-boss and we find out the only way you leave the company is in a body bag, so through so angel magic, Jim's corporeal form is sitting in the morgue awaiting his boss to identify him and be convinced that Jim is no longer of this world.

Meanwhile we have an ex-colleague of Jim's named Issac who has managed to get out of the same buisness, but is currently earning a living as fighter in illegal matches. He gets caugh, along comes Grier as his public defender. A woman who has made it her mission to save misguided people since she is making up for not being able to save others.

Jim thinks that Issac is the soul he has to save as his ex-boss is after him either to kill or recruit. SO Jim and his angel buddies try to protect him.

I won't spoil the ending, but the twist though a bit surprising seemed slightly "off". I did re think it, but I still had this empty feeling. The reason being? There was no set up no matter how much you think about it. There was no interaction between these parties to even give a hint of what Ward was heading towards. It was as if someone said, "You need a twist here" and she threw that in." It would have been more believable if it had been Griers father who was the soul on the balance but for who it was? NOpe, couldn't buy it.

This wasn't the only issue with the book. There was no pull between Greir and Issac like there has been in Wards other books. I found myself not caring if they ended up together. I just wasn't rooting for them in the least, and that was pretty bad considering this was the main couple in the book.

The only redeeming factor in this book was Eddie and Adain (or is it Adrain? stuff if he will be knwon as Ad!) Those two were my favourite and the inner turmiol of Ad really pulled me in. It was intresting to see how fractured he was and how you just know there is some dark history behind him.

I keep all of wards BDB books, but this fallen angel series is fast becoming a "I'll read it, but I won't keep it" Which is a shame cos I'm a big sucker for fallen angel stories. ...more
