Summary:

Savannah Colbert has been a social outcast her entire life. Growing up in a small town where the “Aristocracy” are a group called “The Clann”, Savannah has no idea why they call her a “freak” and why when she was in fourth grade her best friends turned on her.


Tristan Coleman is drawn to Savannah, like a moth to a flame.  Being a the heir to The Clann throne is not what Tristan wants. He wants to be a normal kid and get a football scholarship, but his parents have other plans for him. Tristan keeps trying to stay away from Savannah, but the attraction is too strong.

Savannah discovers a dark secret about her linage-will Tristan still look at her the same way when he finds out? What Savannah doesn’t know is that Tristan has a secret too-one that could tear them apart.

Samantha's Thoughts:

This tale of two star-crossed lovers is “Romeo and Juliet” meets “The Secret Circle”. Melissa Darnell has created a story that has you conspiring with Savannah and Tristan so that they can be together.

You will laugh, cry, fight, and wonder with the characters. Move over Twilight, and welcome The Clann series.

 

I really like the characters and the plot of the story. The story was well written, but drawn out in some places. Crave is very appropriate for the audience that it was intended for.

Parents:

Language:  Mild

Adult Content: There are scenes when the characters make out; very PG-13

Violence:  There are a few scenes of bullying and a confrontation that results in death.
