My apologies, Curious One. It’s been a few weeks. I knew going into it that this series would be draining, but man…let’s just say I did not Covet this! There is so much drama and eye-rolling going on in my world because of it!
We are on the third book of Tracy Wolff’s bestselling Crave series, titled, Covet. It’s very interesting to me, that each character when not focused on acts like a very mature adult. Until you get more story told from their point of view and suddenly, they’re just like all the other human teenagers.
Before you read on, if you need a recap, make sure you read the Curiosities on Crave and Crush by Tracy Wolff!

Conclusion
Perhaps, I’m struggling with it so much because of the immortality of the creatures. I mean, Jaxon and Hudson are over 200 years old in reality, yet they both act very much like the typical trope-y 16 year-olds in almost every YA novel out there. Now, I love myself a good trope on occasion, but could this series get any more of them crammed into one series? Keep in mind, we are only halfway through the series and it’s been what…6 months in their timeline? Two of which she was spent in stone-state-limbo that we have yet to be revealed and every single other month of her existence in the world of Katmere Academy has been spent foiling plots of death and revenge.
Don’t get me wrong here, I actually really am enjoying the mythology in this world and the uniqueness that Wolff is slowly building for us, but it’s honestly more exhausting to read these books than it is to clean my whole house right now.
I was hoping to get a time jump in Covet but nothing of the sort happened. We were introduced to a few more characters that I think are going to come into play again in the last book(s) but it probably will feel like an eternity spent getting to them.
