Crave - Melissa Darnell

I edged closer to my unconscious boyfriend cuffed to a chair nearby. My judges gathered in a tight half circle a few feet away. Probably so they could see me better as I failed their test. The guard’s face looked bored, as if to say this was nothing personal. Which was a lie. This was totally personal. And all my fault. He reached inside his inner jacket pocket and took out two items… a syringe and a scalpel.


Savannah used to be friends with most of the kids in her school until the fourth grade. Then something happened, all the kids who are part of ‘the clan’ stopped talking to her overnight. Her boyfriend, her best friends, everyone, almost the entire town. Since then Savannah, living with her mum and grandmother has been off limits. The clan kids pick on her and torment her, in more ways than one. Tristan her childhood boyfriend torments her in a different way to the rest. She is always aware of his presence and finds herself drawn to him despite the fact he ignores her.

Crave follows Savannah's journey of self discovery, after being terribly sick her family lets her in on a few secrets and her life begins to get more and more complicated. Being drawn to Tristan is no longer her only problem. Tristan is now drawn to her, despite them both having to stay away  from each other. What follows is a Romeo and Juliet style courtship, just with a very different ending.
