Synopsis:
Weeks became months, and months became years. Each day, nudged Kason deeper into his addiction. Each memory of the girl destroyed fed the craving for what he could never have again.
Leaving a life-altering first love behind, Adaline tried moving forward to find love and trust and happiness. Pain eventually faded, wounds slowly healed, yet scars were forever left behind.
But some scars feel like kisses.
When the shattered pieces of their hearts are forced to meet again, the two of them must decide how much pain their love is worth enduring.
This is what happens when one person loves beyond the craving and the other craves beyond the loving.
Review: Surj
This author, OMG!!!! My heart!!! My nerves!!!! Seriously, I thought "Crave Part One" was an emotional roller coaster ride but oh no. Part one was a walk in the park compared to what I've just read. It's like EK threw everything at me in the conclusion to Ady and Kason's story and I mean everything because when I finally turned the last page I felt absolutely shattered and completely drained. It was like this book had sucked the very life right out of me because I had lived and breathed this couple's story right alongside them and that wasn't easy. It was so difficult and at times, damn right terrifying.
She's drifting, and I don't know why. It was sudden at first, a quick change,
a fast drop. But now she's on a slow descent, slipping even further away from me.
Harrowing, agonising, torturous, soul destroying, painful, cruel, angst filled, frustrating, devastating and crushing are all things that I felt when I read "Crave Part Two" and I guess I should have expected all of these feelings considering the dark, twisted cliff hanger we were given at the end of book one. I mean that really did set the tone for the conclusion to this duet but for some reason, I wasn't prepared for just how hard hitting it would be. It was like EK took a sledge hammer to my heart and smashed it wide open. Her way with words ensured this story was felt right down to my very soul. It was like I was in purgatory along with the characters and it hurt like a bitch.
Maybe we were too perfect, and because of that,
we were meant to be pierced by thorns.
I loved all the characters (both lead and secondary) in "Crave Part One" but in this book, well let's just say some of them really did test me. I was left angry and frustrated by choices and decisions and and also by the direction the story took at times. This is EK though, so a straight forward HEA love story was never going to be on the cards. She's a ball buster when it comes to twists, turns and emotions so I should have mentally prepared myself for the unexpected.
Every drop of misery triggers me. It screams through my veins,
torments my body, and takes me as its hostage until I give in.
As much as I have loved Kason and Ady's story, the ending didn't sit well with me. I don't think it did the characters or their history justice as everything seemed to get wrapped up really quickly, so quickly in fact that I was left feeling a little bewildered. Kason's personal story had been one that was so tragic and he was such a broken hero. I wan't to see more emphasis put on piecing him back together but it felt like it was skimmed over. I wanted and needed the nitty gritty of him learning to deal with everything he had been through but it didn't really come. It just kinda finished so yup, that's my one and only gripe.
"You were all I ever wanted. It wasn't even a choice for me."
All in all a great duet that I would definitely recommend you pick up.
"Crave Part Two" gets ❤️❤️❤️❤️
