Crave The Clann Melissa Darnell Books

*** 3 STARS ***

'Crave' was an intriguing book with a fun twisted plot. I don't hold high expectations for young adult paranormal books anymore, due to the 'Twilight' craze. While yes, it's a forbidden love story, the female character is anything but weak and defenseless. She has her own might and ferocity.

The book did end up dragging a bit in the middle, but I understood the importance of the character and plot building that the author was creating. The author did a very good job with giving her characters depth and definitely left me wanting more at the end. I did however find the book to sometimes have a very juvenile 'voice' and it was a little off putting.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have the second book that I need to go read.

Crave The Clann Melissa Darnell Books Reviews

I'm sick as a dog and desperately needed to go to bed early last night, but instead I sat up reading this book because I couldn't put it down! Yes, it was that good! Savannah and Tristan have been compared to Romeo and Juliet in previous reviews, and I can now totally agree with that comparison. Their families, as well as the magical group that Tristan's family belongs to, The Clann, and the vampire council that Sav's dad must report to, will do anything to keep them apart. They were best friends growing up, but in the fourth grade Tristan and the other Clann descendants were told to stay away from Savannah, with no explanations given. Because Savannah's mother and grandmother wanted her to have a normal childhood, she had no idea that she was a dhampir, half Clann witch/half vampire, until strange things started happening to her when she turned 15 and they had to tell her. Neither she nor Tristan knew how dangerous their union could be, which is why they decided to date in secret. As expected, the course of true love never runs smooth, so by the end of the book all hell has broken loose!

I loved the characters of Sav and Tristan. They were easy to relate to and you find yourself cheering for them when they get together, and feeling for them when their love is tested. There's definite character growth there, and the pacing of the story is perfect.

I'm really glad I didn't read this book until I had the second book ready to go because I don't think I could've waited long to find out what happens after the cliff hanger ending of book 1! I can definitely recommend this book to fans of YA paranormal fantasy D
I bought Crave after suggestions told me this would be a good book for me. has yet to steer me wrong, so I took a chance and bought it.

I was a little worried got it wrong after the first couple pages. It starts out a little awkward and slightly forced. The reveal of Savannah's identity and the focus on dancing were just a little off to me, and while I understand their need for the rest of the story, I would have liked a little bit more polish to that part of the book.

However, the second half completely made up for the first. As soon as Darnell started in on the romance aspect of the book, I was in love. Darnell used the forbidden love idea that has been so prevalent in young adult books lately, but she made it unique and interesting. She was able to really bring out the emotions she was writing about and use them to make the novel even better.

One other little thing I had a problem with was the constant referring to Tristan's "player" past. I never really felt like this was a necessary problem and only put in because it's a young adult novel and that somehow equates to someone needing to play a player role. Tristan never displayed that "love 'em and leave 'em" mentality and I could have done without that being in issue in the novel.

Overall, this was a great book and really drew me in. I can't wait to read the next installment.
Five star reviews are perhaps rarer for me to click out than they once were. That comes from a prolonged exposure to the best and worst of recent fiction, both Indie and Traditional. On a first glance, besides the gorgeous cover art, Crave seems like just another teen vampire romance. With a nod to the literary community, I feel I have read almost every twist and turn of this genre possible. Melissa Darnell proved me wrong. Crave doesn't begin like you expect it to, with quirky heroine, Savannah the target of bullying and classic case of the misfits. And much like the "Misfits," she undergoes one radical, shocking change.
This modern Shakespeare drama is told from both Savannah and Tristan's perspectives. I found it refreshing, seeing how the actions of one teen were constantly misinterpreted by the other. While tiresome at times, it reminded me all to well of the feelings I felt not that long ago. And perhaps that is where Melissa Darnell best casts her magic. Not only are you pulled in by such fleshy characters, but you share their pitfalls and highs. For a precious few hours you do what you paid your hourly wages for, an escape into the lives of very different yet hopelessly familiar highschoolers and their parents.
The East Texas setting constantly offers nostalgia for me, and the supernatural elements flow naturally into the narrative. The dialogue is fresh and peppered with pieces of Friday Night Lights drama with a refined version of Twilight. Savannah doesn't rush around desperate to break the rules set in place to protect her family. Darnell successfully shows how guilt and love and raging hormones can couple with the paranormal.
Don't miss this read! If you're anything like me, you'll be rushing to purchase the rest of the series and more.
