It's reminiscent of Twilight
2 stars
After her parents' fatal car accident, Grace moves to her uncle Finn's boarding school in Alaska. When Grace arrives at the castle-like prep school, her cousin Macy is eager to help her settle in. As Grace arrives at Katmere, she quickly learns that the other students are hostile towards her, especially Jaxon Vega, a hot, dangerous-looking guy who is the first person she meets. Although Grace is determined to stay away from Jaxon, something about his eyes tells her he is just as lost as she is. There seems to be something or someone at Katmere Academy that wants Grace dead, so Grace may need all the friends she can gather.
I thought it was predictable as fuck. I accurately predicted what would happen, so the outcome did not surprise me. As well as plot holes, the book left me with many unanswered questions.

Compared to Bella, Grace is a slight improvement, but not a huge one. Often, she makes rash, impulsive decisions. There’s not much detail about Crave’s Alaska setting, other than that it’s freezing cold there.
This is a book set in an inaccessible prep boarding school, which reminds me of Hogwarts, but there are no classes or teachers mentioned. It focuses on Grace’s social scene at Katmere, Jaxon and Grace’s romantic tension, and the mystery of why someone wants to kill her.
It felt like a Twilight wannabe story, and the writing kept embarrassing me. I don’t see myself reading this book again.
