Crossed by Emily McIntire

Description

Crossed by Emily McIntire

Like most authors, Emily McIntire has a formula. That’s okay because she writes well enough to keep my interest even though I know what’s coming.

Misunderstood good girl is helplessly attracted to bad boy with a heart of gold (but only for her) and allows him to continue being terrible because she loves him and doesn’t want to change him. Or, bad girl because of deep trauma meets a good guy that loves her despite it, yadda yadda.

So this series follows the formula consistently until this book. From the beginning of Crossed, the religious angle made me feel all kinds of hinkey ways but there have been other books (Priest, for example) that do this well, so I kept reading. Then I find out this dude is not only a serial killer but he’s a masochist as well, while being a priest. Mkay. I keep reading.

He meets the misunderstood girl with the heart of gold, the formula continues more or less intact until the end of the book when…
They both turn into serial killers? He loves seeing her covered in blood? Good grief. Someone got a little too into season 2 of YOU, and damn. I wouldn’t have finished the book had this meaningless plot point (because it affects literally nothing except gets him hotter for her) been introduced earlier.

This whole story is a twist on the Hunchback of Notre Dame, but let’s retitle it because it was clearly not about him.

If Crossed had been slotted earlier in the series, I wouldn’t have finished the series. There was a lot of gore, not a lot of spice, and a whole lotta need for a good psychiatrist but therapy is obviously not an angle this author is going to pursue.

WORSE! It was pretty boring and it took me days to finish whereas before I’d devoured the books in a couple of hours.
