Narrative In Pursuance Of Books Crave (Crave #1)
Shay could never do the things her friends could--never try out for sports, never go to parties, never fall in love. Because of the mysterious and incurable blood disorder she was born with, she can barely make it through three days of school a week. But now, her doctor-turned-stepfather has a brand-new treatment that he thinks will change everything. And it does. As soon as the new blood starts pumping into Shay's veins, she has visions of a different life...Gabriel's life. She sees an orphanage, loss, fangs, blood, and lust that she can't explain. Is Gabriel real? And if he is, could he really be what she thinks he is?Specify Books In Favor Of Crave (Crave #1)

If you think that there are no more unique storylines left for vampires, just wait a minute because Crave by Melinda Metz and Laura J. Burns will change your mind. This cleverly written book introduces us to Shay McGuire who is a high school girl with a rare blood disorder. She struggles daily for survival all while trying to be normal. However, that is next to impossible for her because she believes her mother, friends, and schools in an effort to show compassion, overbearingly treat her like aThis was a fresh and very original spin on the YA vampire genre that has saturated the market. It was very fast-paced, and in the beginning had a touch of that "what it means to be alive" storyline to it that I tend to enjoy in any book. Seventeen-year-old Shay has pretty much accepted that fact that her life is near an end. Having lived her whole life with a rare, seemingly untreatable blood disorder, she has given in to being "the Sick Girl". She is used to being treated like fragile glass by
This is such a good book. It does a good job of throwing you off and leading you back in. I am not the kind of person to get into a book, but I did. I loved this one. I am looking forward to reading the sequel. If you like the Secret Circle books, I am sure you will enjoy this book. Shay does not get out at all because her blood disorder does not allow her to do much. She spent most of her life getting blood transfusions and sleeping. She makes a facinating discovery about her life that is about
Original Review Date (posted on www.paperbackswap.com): 10/27/2010Shay was always the sick girl! Her mother did everything humanly possible to keep her alive. She held down 3 different jobs at one point to try to pay the minimums of her Doctor fees, until her mother, Emma, met Martin. He was one of her Doctors. He was the only one that believed that her blood disorder was uniquely special and rare; and that he would stop at NOTHING to cure her. Her stepfather left his lucrative career and

I really wanted to love this book. I mean, just look at that gorgeous cover!?!? But sadly, I didn't like our main protag Shay. She's just such a negative and bitter person all around. When she was sick she thinks everyone is just nice to her cause of her illness and when she's well she almost uses it as an excuse to be a bitch. Not to mention I couldn't believe what she did to her friend. I know I know I'm suppose to sympathize with the fact that she's been held down her entire life cause her
I have to admit that at first I found the book a little slow. I guess I was very impatient and expected Shay to find Gabriel sooner than she did in the book. Shay is a teenager who is sick just trying to live a normal life. She has a rare blood disorder and no one can figure out how to help her or what is truly wrong with her. Her mother gets married to a doctor named Martin who spends a lot of his time researching and trying to save Shay. Since she has been sick all her life, she sort of
