Crossed

I need to start seriously asking why I am continuing to read this series. I would say this is the worst book of the series. Having read the book this was based on, this was just a terrible version of it. I have to admit I never thought there would be a dark romance reimagining of the book in the first place.

Most of the story takes place from the priest’s point of view and he is an awfully written character. There is nothing to really like about him. Most of the book is him calling himself a monster then punishing himself in a really descriptive way. As well as wanting to kill the female lead for reasons that are not explained very well. Part way though the story he then changes his mind about killing her. There is nothing romantic about the way this character is written, and he mostly just stalks her.

The female lead is tepid at best. She lacks personality, is helpless though most of the book, and I simply don’t like her. The smut that we are here for is little to none and boring. There is nothing to recommend in this book.

Ik vond hem leuker dan verwacht. Deze boeken zijn niet alleen romance, maar ook echt een verhaal en persoonlijke groei die de karakters doormaken. Dat maakt het mooie boeken
