Hudson didn't disappear when she fought him.
When Grace wakes up covered in someone else's blood, suddenly the answer to the last question becomes clear.
Grace grapples with too much at once, starting with what happened to her memory, edging toward what it means to be a gargoyle instead of human - the first gargoyle in 1,000 years - and why she's shoving Jaxon away whenever he tries to kiss her. Last thing she remembers is fighting against her boyfriend Jaxon's evil-vampire-brother-come-back-to-life Hudson before she turned to stone and Hudson disappeared. And now she's waking up with no memory of the time she missed. Turns out she's been a gargoyle statue for four months and no one could figure out how to revive her. Or why she's rushed into the headmaster's office when she's just trying to get to class. In CRUSH: CRAVE, BOOK 2, Grace gets up and rushes to class like any other day in Alaska's Katmere Academy for paranormals and can't figure out why everyone is looking at her funny. She makes a better hero in this book, but she's also prone to lots of petty arguing. Grace is more of a force in Crush as she grapples with her new identity as a paranormal and her newfound power.
You'll find some racial diversity in the minor characters, and one of Grace's friends comes out to her as gay. Lots of brand-name junk food gets eaten and language is pretty raw, with lots of "f-k" and plenty of everything else. Two brothers recall being separated and physically and emotionally abused by their parents. Students are stabbed, beaten, nearly strangled, drained of blood, burned, buried alive, and put through trials that include terrible pain. There are brutal fights among supernatural creatures where one high school student dies from a crushed skull and others are gravely injured and given magical boosts to heal. The sexual content is milder - kissing is less fun when your brother is always watching - while violence is about at the same level as Book 1. Here, though, two hot vampire brothers vie for Grace's attention - one of whom is trapped in her head, is possibly evil, and bickers with her constantly. This one will even remind you of the second Twilight book, New Moon, because of the introduction of a love triangle. Parents need to know that Crush is the second book in a series that will remind you very much of Twilight. Pepper, Oreos, M&Ms, and Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream. Many gatherings to eat junk food including Pop Tarts, Twizzlers, Dr.
