CRAVED is Book #10 in the #1 Bestselling series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which begins with Book #1, TURNED!

In CRAVED, 16 year old Scarlet Paine struggles to find out exactly what she’s becoming. Her erratic behavior has alienated her new boyfriend, Blake, and she struggles to make amends, and to make him understand. But the problem is, she can barely understand herself what’s happening to her.

At the same time, the new boy in school, the mysterious Sage, comes into her life. Their paths keep intertwining, and although she tries to avoid it, he directly pursues her, despite the objections of her best friend, Maria, who has her own eyes set on Sage. Scarlet finds herself swept away by Sage, who takes her into his world, past the gates of his family’s historic river mansion. As their relationship deepens, she begins to learn more about his mysterious past, his family, and the secrets he must hold. They spend the most romantic time she can imagine, on a secluded island in the Hudson, and she is convinced she has found the true love of her life.

But then she is devastated to learn Sage’s biggest secret of all: he is not human, either, and he has only a few weeks left to live. Tragically, just at the moment when destiny has brought her greatest love, it also seems fated to tear them apart.

As Scarlet returns to the high school parties leading up to the big dance, she ends up in a huge falling-out with her friends, who excommunicate her from their group. At the same time, Vivian rounds up the popular girls to make her life hell, leading to an unavoidable confrontation. Scarlet’s forced to sneak out, making matters worse with her parents, and soon finds pressure building from all sides. The only light in her life is Sage. But he is still holding back some of his secrets, and Blake resurfaces, determined to pursue her.

Caitlin, meanwhile, is determined to find a way to reverse Scarlet’s vampirism. What she finds leads her on a journey to find the antidote, deep into the darkest corners of rare libraries and bookstores—and to an ancient discovery she can hardly imagine.

But it may be too late. Scarlet is changing rapidly, barely able to control what she’s becoming. She wants to be with Sage—but fate seems set on tearing them apart. As the book culminates in an action-packed and shocking twist, Scarlet will be left with a monumental choice—one that will change the world forever. How much is she willing to risk for love?

Saat gladi resik pernikahan, rekan kerja perempuan tunanganku tiba-tiba menyerbu dan menghancurkan dekorasi hingga berantakan. "Jared janji mau nikah sama aku, siapa kamu ini sebenarnya?" tanyanya. Dia merebut gaun pengantinku yang bernilai puluhan miliar. Namun karena tubuhnya terlalu gemuk, bahkan kepalanya saja tidak bisa masuk di gaun itu. Aku mengejeknya, "Jangan-jangan kamu terlalu gemuk sampai gaun pengantin ukuran besar ini pun nggak muat di tubuhmu?" Dengan wajah yang memerah karena malu dan marah, Quincy memaksa dirinya masuk ke gaun itu. Dalam sekejap, bagian punggung dan pinggang gaun itu robek hingga terbentuk lubang-lubang besar yang mencolok. Dengan percaya diri, dia berkata, "Memangnya kenapa kalau kurobek gaun ini? Jared cinta sama aku dan bakal beliin aku gaun pengantin yang baru." Namun saat acara pernikahan dimulai, Quincy terkejut bukan main. Pengantin pria yang berjalan mendekat sama sekali bukan Jared, melainkan bos besar mereka. Lagi pula, aku tidak pernah mengatakan bahwa ini adalah pernikahanku.

6년간의 연애 끝에, 강도겸은 새로운 연인과 함께하며 소정은에게 이별을 통보했다. 소정은은 싸우지도, 소란을 피우지도 않았다. 오히려 짐가방을 차분히 정리하고, 도겸이 마련해준 천문학적인 이별 수당을 받아든 채 과감히 떠났다. 도겸의 친구들은 익숙한 내기를 걸었다. 과연 이번에는 소정은이 얼마나 버틸 수 있을까? J시에서 소정은의 이름을 아는 사람이라면 누구나 그녀가 강도겸을 미친 듯이 사랑하고 있다는 사실을 알았다. 자존심도, 분노도 없는 사랑, 그들이 알고 있는 소정은의 모습이었다. 그래서 모두가 생각했다. 사흘 안에 돌아와 사과할 거라고. 하지만 사흘이 지나고, 또다시 사흘이 지나도 그녀에게서는 아무런 소식이 없었다. 결국 도겸이 먼저 참지 못하고 전화를 걸었다. 그가 처음으로 누그러진 태도로 말했다. “넌 이제 그만 장난칠 때가 되지 않았어? 그만하면 돌아와...” 그러나 전화기 너머로 들려온 것은 뜻밖의 낮은 남자의 웃음소리였다. “대표님, 엎질러진 물은 다시 담을 수 없습니다. 이별을 후회해도 어쩔 수 없죠.” “정은을 바꿔줘, 걔랑 이야기하고 싶으니까!” “죄송하지만, 제 여자친구는 지쳐서 방금 잠들었어요.”

나는 누군가가 뿌린 유산을 맞고, 지하실에서 죽었다. 가족들은 나를 알아보지 못했고, 신고조차 하지 않았다. 엄마는 오랫동안 사용하지 않았던 수술용 칼을 들어, 내 살과 뼈를 분리해 냈다. 아빠는 흥분한 표정으로 내 뼈대를 석고 속에 묻어 넣어 정교한 석고 조각상을 만들었다. 언니는 그 조각상을 가지고 수많은 상을 휩쓸며 모두가 칭송하는 천재 소녀가 되었다. 그런데, 조각상이 산산조각이 나면서 안에 숨겨져 있던 반쯤 잘린 손가락이 드러났다. 이에 그들은 혼란에 빠졌다.

“아빠, 엄마, 저 유학 가기로 했어요.” 설아가 어렵게 결정을 내리자, 멀리 떨어진 부모님은 안도의 한숨을 내쉬며 기쁜 목소리로 대답했다. “설아야, 드디어 결심했구나! 엄마랑 아빠가 얼마나 걱정했는지 몰라. 이제야 한시름 놨어. 준비는 차근차근 하자. 아마 한 달 후면 우리 다시 만날 수 있을 거야.” 부모님은 밝게 말했지만 설아는 차가운 목소리로 짧게 대답했다. “네, 알겠어요.” 몇 마디 대화가 오간 뒤, 전화는 끊겼다. 민설아의 눈가는 촉촉해졌고 걱정 가득한 표정으로 불도 켜지 않은 채 창가에 앉아 있었다. 마치 창밖의 새까만 밤처럼 설아의 마음도 깊은 어둠 속에 잠긴 듯했다.
