“Crave,” is told from the point of view of 17-year-old Grace. Grace is forced to move from California to Alaska to attend the Katmere Academy boarding school after her parents are tragically killed. Grace’s uncle is the headmaster of Katmere and her cousin Macy is a student. Grace soon finds out that the school is designed for supernatural students. Not only does she discover that her cousin is a witch, but her relationship with the mysterious and very attractive Jaxon Vega leads her to discover that she’s fallen hard for a vampire, who is convinced that she is his mate and that the two have an unbreakable bond. “Crush,” begins with Grace waking up from a long slumber. Grace doesn’t remember some recent events prior to her waking up – all she recalls is throwing herself in front of Jaxon to save him from Hudson. Grace’s life quickly evolves from complicated to insane when she learns that she is a gargoyle and the first of her kind to be born for generations. Grace has to juggle exploring her new powers and identity, a steamy romantic relationship with Jaxon, and compete for a place on the supernatural court as the only gargoyle. As if things couldn’t get any more complicated, it is revealed that the spirit of Jaxon’s older brother, Hudson, has been trapped with Grace for the past few months while she was stone, creating memories that she can’t remember no matter how hard she tries.
