What Crave is about
Among gods and monsters at an academy, the narrator is an ordinary mortal, and she is not sure where she fits. The school's factions are at war with each other, and the only thing they agree on is disliking her. She cannot decide which side, if any, is hers.
Then there is Jaxon Vega, a vampire with dangerous secrets who has not felt anything in a hundred years. She is drawn to something broken in him that matches something broken in herself. He has kept himself walled off for a reason, though, and a bond between them could prove deadly for everyone. Meanwhile, someone is trying to wake a sleeping monster, and she begins to wonder whether she was brought to the academy on purpose, as bait. A paranormal romance about belonging and forbidden attraction.
