Consume The Devoured Series Book 2 eBook Shelly Crane

Well, it has been a while since I read and enjoyed Devour (The Devoured Series), so it took a little memory jogging to get back into the story. While Devourer had suspense and an edgy quality to it, this one was more serious because Clara was dying and Eli was desperate for a cure.

Possible Spoilers:

Clara's illness is a result of her sucking Eli's bloody finger in book one. The devourer blood inside her is warring with her human blood and if it wins she will die. Eli is desperate to find a cure and is willing to do ANYTHING in order to help her.

Clara and Eli are a solid couple knowing that the Horde will soon seek them out again but want to graduate before leaving town. Unfortunately, Clara's sickness is getting worse, so Eli must find a way to cure her. His brother Enoch shows up with a childhood friend, Finn to convince Eli to take Clara to the Wall to sever the bond. Enoch hates the bond for making him protect Clara and Finn wants his old Eli back and out of the clutches of the human Clara. Eli decides that he can get answers to Clara's illness at the Wall so they all travel together for different reasons. Clara is exposed to a Consumed Bar with all the unusual creatures that hang out there and the drugs they push on others. She experiences jealousy, fear and lust from the smoke and is able to feel all the emotions that Eli emits now that the Devourer is in her blood. They finally make it to the other side of the Wall and find deception, betrayal, trickery and defeat.

I have enjoyed other stories by Shelly Crane and have admired the purity her characters exhibit in their sexual lives and the lack of profanity. I love that she writes about admirable teenagers and not common ones. In Consume, Ms. Crane's message is uniting against the odds for a common goal or acceptance. "We've all been chased by someone who thought we shouldn't be who or what we are. But together, with all our mixed knowledge and powers and minds, we're stronger than them. Fight for our right to love, live and be happy".

This does need better editing, but it does not detract too much from the story. Consume is the final book in the two book series.

Consume The Devoured Series Book 2 eBook Shelly Crane Reviews

Yes, I am going to say it, I Consumed it. Ms. Crane must have lit her computer on fire when she was writing certain parts of Consume. *Fans self* I couldn't put it down. I loved everything about it. I have been waiting to see where Clara and Eli's story would take them. I can honestly say I never thought it would lead to where it did. It was filled with twists and turns leaving me to wonder if there was going to be a HEA. I just couldn't get enough. I was frustrated one minute and then ready to take a strip off of Eli the next. But don't worry ladies he makes up for it all. The book was simply amazing.

Clara had it pretty rough in Consume. Though I don't want to go into what is wrong with her, way too spoilery, she handled it like a real trouper. I loved seeing Clara grow up and be willing to put it all on the line for the boy she loves. I was gripped by her love for Eli and to follow blindly the way she did. I don't think I have ever read a book where the leading lady was willing to do that. I can say I am glad she did. She is one of few characters that realizes that sometime it is better to follow and not question everything. Don't get me wrong. Clara is a very strong girl but she knows when to pull back on the reins instead of plunging head first into trouble. I honestly think Clara is one of the most level headed female characters I have ever read about. One I am sad to say goodbye to.

Eli, oh man did you ever make me fall in love with you. I didn't think it was possible for me to love Eli more than I already did but I was very wrong. Can one guy be more perfect than Eli. He is just amazing. I love how he fought to save Clara, and their love. Not once was he not man enough to step forward and protect her. He took being a man to a whole new level. I can say I was in awe by his actions and his devotion to Clara. Sure there are parts that make you angry with Eli but we all know things happen for a reason. I never once doubted him and his intentions. Eli is pure goodness, but don't let that outer facade dupe you into thinking there isn't an alpha male below the surface. Seeing Eli possessive was swoon worthy. Read Consume and try to deny him his due. I am and always will be 100% TEAM ELI.

Once again I have to take my hat off to Shelly for not writing your typical YA book. It is awesome to have an author who is willing to write several books without following the norm. I hate to say it but sometimes it gets annoying to read the same thing over and over again. That typical boy meets girl, boy leaves girl, girls is heartbroken and trying to figure out why said boy is doing this, then boy and girl get back together. I love that Shelly doesn't write like that. She writes a story where you see the couple grow together and become a stronger together, become a whole and complete one another. It takes a great mind to write the way she does. Though I am sorry to see the end of this series, I will keep hope that Ms. Crane will write a story about Enoch. I would love to see this Devourer be reformed. Here is to believing in Happily Ever Afters. Shelly keep writing the way you do. You are just plain amazing!
Consumed, the second and final book in the Devoured series will not disappoint Shelly Crane fans. And if you have never read one of her books, what are you waiting for? The blurb sums up the book well and lets you know what to expect from this book without giving away any clues or spoiling the outcome, which I won't do either. As with Devoured, Eli is still a sweet heart but even more so now that he has Clara. Clara is still strong and independent but the situation plays on this a bit and she becomes much softer with Eli. Clara and Eli are just magical together and their connection is the stuff of stories. Again Shelly has written characters that are just so interesting and instantly likable that you are pulling for them to have their happy ending.

Consumed, initially seemed to move quite slow before Eli and Clara go on the run, but then the story moved really quick. If anything I did feel it was a little rushed, and I felt that some of the situations would have benefited from slowing down the action and taking more time explain the new people and the new environment. Consumed introduced a lot of different concepts, characters and mythological creatures that were not there in Devoured, and I personally I would have liked these explored more. Shelly has such a nice way of describing people and places and I felt this was lacking a little from Consumed. This is not to say that I did not enjoy the book, I did, I loved it, but not as much as Devoured.

And for all you who think that this is the end of the series, although the story has a nice ending, I can see if Shelly wanted to she could do alot more with people she has created within this series, and I would welcome that.
