Language is pretty raw with lots of "f-k" and its text-friendly variations, and plenty of everything else. Grace often mentions the death of her parents in a car wreck and how it brought her to her new school. One character is stabbed to death and others sustain injuries and blood loss. Expect Grace to get injured and saved a lot, and expect some intense supernatural creature fighting. Jaxon is even angrier, though, and once again you may be prompted to have that not-so-fun talk about what a healthy relationship should look like and how to handle stalkers and worse. (Author Tracy Wolff has also written erotica and it shows, though the sexual content is toned down significantly for the teen audience.) Parents who had a problem with Edward's possessiveness and angst in Twilight - sorry, Jaxon is that way, too. The sexual tension is the same: lots of longing and kissing, with perhaps a few longer scenes of kissing and more sultry details than Twilight. In fact, the hot vampire love interest, Jaxon, gives Grace a copy of Twilight when she still doesn't know he's a vampire, hoping she'll figure it out. Parents need to know that Crave is the first book in a series that will remind you very much of Twilight.
