Katy and Daemon went for a walk in the woods one night and they started to argue about Dee. Katy got so mad at Daemon she ran away. She wasn't paying attention so all of a sudden she was in the middle of the street. There was a big flask of light coming towards her. It was a huge semi-truck barreling down the highway. Katy was so terrified she was stuck. She was in a state of shock. Daemon was watching the whole thing. Yelling at her to get out of the way.
Katy was helpless at that moment. I don't know the first thing I would do if I was in the same situation as Katy. I would most likely have jumped out of the way. I learned from Katy's experience not to jump in front of a truck unless I have a magic alien neighbor.

# data[].attributes.body
Daemon turned into a being of light. Katy was really terrified. She also didn't know how to react. She suspected that Daemon and Dee were not human, but she didn't know that they were aliens. I have never met an alien nor have I seen one. I have no clue how I would react if I met an alien but I would most likely act like Katy.

I give this book a 5/5. I love this book. It is so detailed and it combines what I love to read. I like to read lots of fantasy/sci fi "romance" books. I could read this book all of the time. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes the book Fallen, Angelfall, Crave, and A Court of Thorns and Roses. It has the fantasy/sci fi genre as all of these books do but also a little bit of romance between characters.

Katy had to fight for her life and others when she was facing Baruck the Arum. She was going through a life or death situation. She was feeling the adrenaline, the fear, and the anger. I have never felt that way in my life, because I have never been in a life or death situation. I can only learn through her experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Katy and Dee were hanging out and Daemon comes home. Katy was worried about him. He told her that he was scouting the whole state making sure there isn't any Arum left. When he sits next to Katy, Dee quickly shuffles out of the room. Daemon and Katy start talking about ways to get rid of her trace but she doesn't agree with Daemon's suggestion. She smacked him in the chest and she used him to push of the couch but, she froze. His heart beat was the same as hers. Katy doesn't believe it. Daemon doesn't make a big deal about, saying that they are connected in some way. He also said that them being together would be worse then being connected in some way. Daemon tells Katy that they should be together. Katy doesn't think so because of all the things he has done to her. He argues that they have a lot of things in common but Katy disagrees. Katy tells him that they will never be together. Daemon asks her, "You do realize I love a challenge?". Katy laughs under her breath and turns around saying "So do I, Daemon. So do I." with a one-finger salute.

Daemon admitted that he is attracted to Katy but she doesn't believe him. He was a jerk to her so why should she give him a chance just because they are connected between a weird alien mojo. Katy and Daemon's relationship changes throughout the story. In the beginning they were enemies. Daemon and Ash were jerks to Katy, but with all the time Katy spent with him, they both changed in a way. Later in the story you can tell that they did care about each other when they let somethings fall through their masks they had put up. Katy and Daemon went from enemies to friends, to maybe something more(they won't admit that but they did)

Katy lies on the floor almost dead. Daemon lies next to her. He takes her hand in his. Heat slowly makes it way up Katy's body. "What am I doing? If they find out what I've done...but I can't lose her. I can't." Katy gasps for air realizing that Daemon is talking to her but not like when he was talking to her in his true form. His thoughts and feelings were dancing around her own. "Please. Please. I can't lose you. Please open your eyes. Please don't leave me." Katy responded "I'm her, I'm here" Daemon jerked back, the light slowly fading away from Katy and back into him.

Daemon realizes that he needs Katy in his life. He cares for her. He admitted it her without realizing he did. She knows and she tries to not let it affect her.

# data[].attributes.body
The author has written this really well so far. She has created different kinds of suspense throughout the book. She also has a bunch of great word choices when she make Katy describe Daemon. The dialogue is also great. She doesn't use a lot of figurative language in the book though. If the used it I think it would enhance the book even more. The author uses flashbacks and foreshadows but it is only a little.

Katy has a trace on her that makes her look like a lite up Christmas tree from when Daemon was fighting the Arum. Daemon and the rest of the lux don't want the Arum finding them and Katy is a beacon to the Arum. Daemon and the rest of them need to find away to get ride of the trace so nothing bad happens. Katy decided to go back over to her house because she didn't want to have to listen to them argue. Later in the night Daemon comes over and he make Katy show him the video she posted on her blog. She then asks him what they came up with. Daemon gave her       options. Lots and lots of jumping jacks, running around the house, or making out. She doesn't want to do any of them. She hates doing exercise but she also "hates" Daemon. She tells him that she isn't attracted to him. He doesn't believe her so he walks up to her and kisses her. She doesn't move away or push him away. Daemon walks out the door with a smirk on his face after their little make out session. Katy is left there stunned and finds out that Luxens have a lot of elective energy. Daemon fried her laptop and blew a bunch of light bulbs. From this scene you can tell that they both like each other but they won't admit it to each other.

After the Arum attack Katy is really shaken up so she asks Daemon to spend the night with her. He complies saying he will be right up.

When Katy wakes up she find Daemon and her cuddled up next to each other. Katy doesn't know what to do so she stays still. Daemon is still asleep and he moves so Katy is on her back and he nuzzles his head into the crook of her neck. Katy is frozen and wants to wake him up but doesn't know what to do. When finally Daemon finally wakes up he looks at Katy with an expression that she an't read, but she has seen it before. Daemon bolt up and out of the room he doesn't even say anything to Katy.

Later in the evening Simon pulls Katy away and forcefully kisses Katy up against the tree so she can't escape. Katy tries to push him away put doesn't succeed.

Katy take that opportunity to kick him where the sun don't shine. Daemon quickly releases him and Simon doubles over in pain. Daemon didn't have to save Katy from Simon. This just shows that he kind of does care, even if he denies it.

The narrator of this book is the main character Katy. Katy is kind and sweet. But if you intend to annoy her or be mean to her friends you better watch your back. She will do anything to help people, even if she doesn't know them. Katy is a very believable person. When she tells the story she seems almost a live. she has human traits because she is a human being in the story. She could end up being a real person in the real world. Throughout the story there are a lot more windows then mirrors because this book involves aliens and a bunch of "powers". There are also more windows because of some experiences Katy has gone through like her high school homecoming dance or like walking in front of a moving truck.

When she opened the door a boy without a shirt on, appeared at the door. While Katy was staring at him, he said "Can I help you" in an annoyed tone. He kept being rude and snarky asking her if she was capable of speaking. Katy was speechless. She quickly tried to introduced herself and he cut her off.

She was done she started yelling at him and they started to throwing insults at each other, until finally she walked away. While she was walking away he yelled the directions to to the grocery store to her. She called him a douche-bag. He responded with "That's not very nice kitty-cat."

Denotation-discarded matter
Connotation- mean, bad, smelly, cheap
Using the word "trash" in the sentence adds a negative mood. The author used the word trash because it shows that Esperanza doesn't think that she need Rachel and Lucy as friends anymore because they made fun or her and her mother. It also adds more drama to the vignette, by saying trash instead of "mean or rude." We learn that Esperanza was really hurt by what Lucy/Rachel said and she can have a bad temper when she is provoked.

# data[].attributes.body
In this vignette, Esperanza, Nenny, Lucy and Rachel are all cold towards each other. They are also rude and immature. "Esperanza's fat face, that's who. Looks like Esperanza's ugly face when she comes to school in the morning... That does it! Both of yous better get out of my yard before I call my brothers." They have changes a lot since we first met them. They used to be kind towards each other. They didn't fight over little things and they were always happy when they were together. "Down, Down Mango Street we go. Rachel, Lucy, me. Our new bicycle. Laughing the crooked ride back."

Esperanza met a girl named Cathy in her neighborhood and Cathy agreed to be friends with her until Tuesday. When she hangs out with Cathy, Esperanza learns that people are prejudice because they think they are better then everyone else even though they come from the same neighborhood and background. I have met someone before just like Cathy. They judged everyone because they thought they were better. She thought she was better than everyone because she met someone famous and she deserved better than what she had.

"and there at the end of the block, looking smaller still, our house with its feet tucked under like a cat."

# data[].attributes.body
The figurative language is a personification. It is personification because the author giving the house human qualities(our house with it's feet tucked under) It is effective because the reader understands how small the house really is. We all know that someone looks like when they are crouched down with their feet tucked under them. We can relate this to the house and then we can better visualize the house in a better way.

The figurative language in this sentence is a simile. I know this because it is comparing the size of the dog to the size of a man in a dog costume with the word like. It is effective because it give the readers an idea of how big the dog is. The simile gives people a picture on how big the dog is without saying that the dog was huge.

The piece of figurative language is simile because they author is comparing two things with the word like. It is effective because it shows the readers how old the music box is and how it does a million things at once when Gil starts it up. We all have seen little scenes from a cartoon when they hit something old a moths fly everywhere. It helps us better visualize that the music box is old.

Using the word "Sunday in the sentence adds a negative mood. The author used the word "Sunday" because it shows that Lucy and Rachel don't have enough money to but other shoes. The author makes it sound like they only have one pair shoes. We learn that it doesn't bother Lucy and Rachel that they only have church shoes. They don't care they don't have a lot of money. The girls are very appreciative of what they have.

The piece of figurative language is personification because the author is giving human qualities(holding their breath) to an object(windows).

Denotation- a decorative hanging light with branches for several light bulbs or candles.

Connotation- valuable, elegant, delicate, expensive, desirable
Using the word chandelier adds a positive and sophisticated mood to this section of the story.

The author used the phrase fancy chandelier so we can learn how Esperanza's great-grandfather views her great-grandmother. We learn that he loved her and really wanted to marry her. He values her and sees her as a delicate, elegant, desirable woman. The message would have been significantly different if the author said, “As if she were a sack of potatoes.”

I have never had to move so many times I have only had to move twice, but the only reason I moved was because we needed a bigger house. We didn't have to move because of busted pipes and the landlord wouldn't fix it. We also didn't move because we were robbed. I have never been robbed before. I don't know hoe anyone would feel in this situation, but I did learn that Esperanza was embarrassed of where she lived and where she came from.

I once didn't like my name just like Esperanza. I thought that my name was to unique.

It is too different, why do people pronounce it wrong. I don't feel like its me.

Jaxon can't get in the room because a vampire can only enter a room unless they are invited into it. So Lia uses that knowledge against him. Lia pins Grace to an alter in the room and is screaming at Grace, "I hope he's suffering. I hope he knows what's happening to you in here and it's killing him that he can't get to you. I can't wait for you to serve your purpose so yo an die and finally, he'll know just how excruciating it feels to lose a mate." Grace is Jaxon's mate. That is why he affects Grace so much.

Instead she is comforting him and telling him that he did the right thing. That is was okay to kill his own brother. It wasn't his fault that his brother wanted to kill other supernatural beings and humans.

I have experienced this before, but I didn't fall out of a tree. I sprained my ankle just like Grace and I wouldn't let anyone touch it. It hurt so bad but it was also embarrassing having someone looking at it.

I would give 2.5/5 stars. Crave is just like any other vampire romance book. The buy is a vampire and will always save the girl. Grace has been in multiple dangerous situations and she has been saved by Jaxon in all of the situations. I don't like how the author made Grace look weak and she needed a man in her life to be protected. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes when the man is the hero in the book and the girl always needs saving because this book has a bunch of heroic scenes.

Grace saw Jaxon's older brother Hudson with a sword in his and and he was aimming right at Jaxon. Grace knew she had to do something to stop Hudson. Grace quickly moved Jaxon out of the way and takes the blow from the sword. When Jaxon look back he sees Hudson turn back into smoke and Grace frozen like a statue. Grace saved Jaxon's life. I have never saved a life ever. I have know clue on what was going inside Grace's head at that moment only that she had to save Jaxon.

Grace turned into a gargoyle and she wouldn't turn back into her human form. She saved Jaxon's life. His brother was resurrected from the dead and wanted revenge on Jaxon. The doctors couldn't help Grace turn back. Only she can. Nobody knew that she was a gargoyle so it was a shock to all of them. Mostly Jaxon. When he heard the news that Grace couldn't turn back he felt so helpless. I've felt helpless when one of my loved ones was dying. It feels awful knowing you can't do anything to help them. I hated not know what would happen or if they were going to be alright. I understand how Jaxon is feeling

At the end of almost every chapter in Crave there is some sort of suspense. The author does a great job with it also. There are also a bunch of good dialogue chooses in the book. I understand what the characters are feeling when I read the book. The book is also filled with dialogue, so we get to see two sides of the conversation. In the book there is not a lot of foreshadows or flashbacks.

# data[].attributes.body
In the book crave there is one topic that I'm interested in. It is the witches and warlock. I learned that when a witch or a warlord falls in love with a human they lose all their magical powers. Why do they lose their powers? This is important to the story because Grace's father was a warlord. He fell in love with a human. So grace should also be a human, but Lia says she is special. That she isn't just a normal human. Also in the end of the book Jaxon is devastated when he finds out that Grace has turned into a gargoyle and the only way for her to turn back is if she wants to turn back.

Grace is the main character of the book she is a mere human in a school full of supernatural beings. She seems that she could be a real thing. She has all of the natural responses of a human other than the fact that she is the mate to the most powerful vampire. There is a lot more windows in this book because there are no supernatural beings on Earth. This book revolves around them, so just that shows that there is going to be more windows in the book than mirrors. I think people can connect with the narrator sometimes like when she just moves to a new school and feels like an outcast. Many people feel like that when they move to a new school.

The conflict of the book is that Jaxon Vega keeps affecting Grace(the main character). It is good and it is bad. That is not the only conflict in the book. People keep trying to kill Grace. Also there is a turf war happening at the boarding school. All of the conflict affect Grace. She has to figure out why she is affected by Jaxon. She also has to find out who is trying to kill her and she has to pick a side in the turf war. If she chooses one side she will lose the friendship of a friend. It goes both ways.
