Did You Want to “Crush” Book Two of the “Crave” Series?

Female Gargoyle in a Graveyard. A Creative expression for the "Crave" Series, book two "Crush" by Tracy Wolff.

Ooookay, Curious One. I just finished Crush. Yup, book two of the Crave series by Tracy Wolff. With exhaustion, I have to say, that it really only got good in the last quarter.

When it got good, it got GOOD!

I haven’t read the two chapters in the end from Hudson’s point of view, but by the time you get to the end of this, I will have. I don’t want those chapters to skew my thoughts yet!

So, to get started, I was trying to find some information on Tracy Wolff. It’s all sort of scattered between reviews and I can’t say for sure if any of it is fact from her own mouth. It does appear that she was an English professor at one time and now might be teaching writing to local college students, but I can’t confirm that yet. I’ll keep looking into it…

Isle of Echoes- We Witches Three Book Three by Humphrey Quinn

Alright. Curious One? I caved. I absolutely read the third book in the We Witches Three series by Humphrey Quinn. Isle of Echoes was about the same as the others. It answered one question and left me with a thousand more. The most frustrating part is that I want to know what happens to this family, even though I can hardly stand the style of writing. It’s bugging me so badly!

Isle of Echoes was pretty well rounded in regard to each of the characters, however I am still bewildered that Eva keeps getting to them so easily. What’s the point of acknowledging your instincts if you ignore them and walk into traps every day?

And did I call Riley and Melinda?! Ugh. Totally Romeo and Juliet vibes which is obviously predictable and absolutely annoying.

Isle of Wolves – We Witches Three Book Two by Humphrey Quinn

Oooookay Curious One. So, I decided to read the next installment in the We Witches Three series by Humphrey Quinn. Isle of Wolves was a little unexpected. I still have the same problem as with the first one, too short and the style of writing not quite fitting the age of the characters, but this one held a bit of annoyance for me. Hahah!

I promise, I am NOT a picky reader! But man, I just wanted this series to be so good and it’s just not happening…

Isle of Bones – We Witches Three Book One by Humphrey Quinn

So. Curious One. I am gravely disappointed! I have been searching for years for an amazing series of books centering around witches and I had so much hope that I had found it! I had so much hope that after only reading the little blurb and basis of the series, I downloaded the first three books and began to read immediately! However, what a crime I committed!

First off, they are only like 100 – ish – pages each and that’s SO short! Second, I made the assumption that since they were all over 21, it would be centered more towards older young adults, like 20-30-year old’s; I was wrong. Third, it felt like the author was struggling to give depth to her characters. There is such potential here, but man, I was completely let down!

Of course, I’m talking about the first book in the We Witches Three series, Isle of Bones – written by Humphrey Quinn.

After realizing how terribly short these books are, all three amounting to under 350 pages total, I debated reading them all and making one discussion about the series in general, but I just have so much to say, I didn’t want your curiosity to be annoyed by a discussion that was zipping all over the first three books. This way, if after you read this, you can decide whether you want to continue to read the other two “books” with me, or just read my highlights.

So, with that said, let’s begin, shall we?
