Clara was hoping that she would be able to finish the last few weeks of school unscathed and under the Horde's radar. But when a blast from Eli's past shows up, they know what they have to do...go on the run. After using persuasion on Mrs. Ruth, Eli sets off with Clara with one thing in mind...he must keep her safe.Once on the road, Clara is faced with headaches and blackouts. And for once when Clara looks in Eli's face she knows that whatever is causing them is not good. Will making it to The Wall in search of answers help Clara or put her life in more jeopardy? Will they even make it to The Wall in time?When I gave my review of Devour I didn't go into much detail about the gist of the story...for fear of giving too much away. But if you are sitting at your computer reading this, then hopefully you have read Devour already and know what it's about.I was shocked to see that Crane was only making this a 2 book series, unlike her other series' that are at least 4 books. And I just knew there was no way she could finish Eli and Clara's story in just one more book, there was no stinkin way! But I was proved wrong, oh so wrong. Could their story have continued one? Of course. Was it a good and fitting ending? Most definitely! Consume did just that...it consumed me. *cliche I know* I eagerly absorbed every word, every sentence. It was a fabulous read that had me sitting on the edge of my seat, soaking up the romance, the suspense, and the mystery.Crane's men, oh yes, her men are fabulous; the stuff of legends. Are there really guys like Eli out there, anywhere? Every word out of his mouth makes me melt like butter. My favorite Crane Man is Merrick from Collide. But as I told Crane via twitter...Eli is giving Merrick some serious competition.Consume, Consume, Consume...oh what fabulous book you are; oh the things you've done to me. Pick up Consume and let Eli devour you! Cause this is one journey you will not want to miss out on.
