Charm (Part 2 of 2) (Dramatized Adaptation)

Crave, Book 5

Finally find out what happened during those missing four months, as the thrilling adventure continues!

He’s under my skin…

After Katmere, I shouldn’t be surprised by anything. Including the existence of a world beyond my world called the Shadow Realm. Yet here I am, stuck in a strange, dangerous place with the worst of the supernaturals, the monster that other monsters fear: Hudson Vega. He might be Jaxon’s brother and ridiculously hot, but he’s a complete bona fide pain in my ass.

The question is whether we’ll find a way out before I kill him…or run out of time.

She’s stealing my heart…

It’s a truth universally known―at least according to Grace―that everything is my fault. But I have a nasty suspicion that Grace isn’t as human as she thinks, and she’s the one keeping us trapped. Now we’ll have to work together not only to survive, but to save all those we’ve come to call family who live here.

Because there’s something connecting us. Something stronger than fear…and way more bloody dangerous.

Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

Charm part 2

Charm is a beautifully layered addition to this supernatural romance, full of suspense, heart, and the signature witty banter that makes this series so addictive. The world-building continues to expand in fascinating ways, and the plot flows smoothly as we finally get answers through the flashbacks of what happened during Grace’s three months frozen in gargoyle form.

Being trapped in an unknown realm with Hudson creates the perfect setting for deeper character exploration. Watching Hudson fight to prove he’s not the monster everyone believes him to be is incredibly compelling, and the way he and Grace truly learn each other, and slowly fall in love, adds so much emotional depth. The introduction of new characters keeps things fresh and intriguing as well.

Ending with a return to the present ties everything together while still leaving you eager for more. While Heather Costa’s narration was just okay for me, the Graphic Audio version once again elevates the story into something truly immersive. Overall, an emotional and captivating installment that adds so much heart to the series!

Absolutely love!!!

FINALLY!!!!! This has got to be the best book in the series so far (still need to read the last book!) Experiencing these two characters and that missing time is….. *swoon* my heavens. Hudson is a freaking dream boat. The storyline is so unique, fun to imagine and the cast is fantastic, as always.

My Favorite of the Crave Series

Tracy Wolff has always had a gift for creating engaging characters and plot ideas; however, in the past, she has tended to be a bit long winded with storyline and dialogue. Charm is a big improvement. I was drawn in the entire time, and she cut out a lot of the pointless inner monologues. The audio books with a full cast added a lot to the entertainment value. Also in contrast to the preceding books in the series, Charm has a strong emphasis on romance—less main characters with focus placed on Grace and Hudson’s “enemies to lovers” relationship.

The only downfall was that this book would have been better placed after the first book, rather than as book five. It was a bit confusing to me at first because I was expecting a continuation of events from the last novel and that’s not what this is.

Spectacular Storyline

This book was incredibly captivating. The narration and performances by all the voice actors were truly wonderful. I am eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series. Both Grace and Hudson are portrayed perfectly. Grace is not depicted as a damsel in distress, and Hudson is well aware of this. I'm going back and reading book 2 before continuing on to the last book.

favorite book

I have loved this book for a long time! it's my favorite in the series, and hearing it in a full cast dramatized adaptation was amazing! I am extremely disappointed though that they cut out the names of the songs that they dance to, even some response to them. this is an important correlating detail that emphasizes their relationship and pulls at your heart strings. Giving a much deeper meaning to the songs Hudson chooses in the earlier books. Not sure why they didn't stay true to the text but it's a vital piece in my opinion that was missed.
