I didn't think anything would stand up to the Significance series but Crane thankfully proved not to be a one (series) hit wonder. The Devoured series quickly became yet another addicting read. Clara and Eli, oh my goodness! There are two huge reasons Crane always keeps me coming back for more. One, her lead characters and the relationships they form. And two, the fact that there are always more questions and twists and turns with each flip of the page to keep readers entertained and guessing until the very end. She never allows her readers to become complacent or bored.
Choosing sides is of course a familiar element in Crane's work and readers will feel as though its not just the fictional characters making choices but themselves as well. That's at least the feeling I got when making my way through this title. Could you choose sides against your friends and family? Go against everything you thought you knew to be right? I could almost hear the disapproval in The Godfather's words, to "never go against the family" but yet unless you're in the shoes and faced with those decisions, it's a tough call to make.
Readers all over the blogosphere are claiming to have been "devoured" by this book and I'm not different. Crane's given me no choice but to become invested in these characters and the world she created. There was no question that I was going to move right along to the next installment.
