Crossed was devastatingly brilliant, the plot was strong and heavy, the characters felt more "real" than some of the others in the series, it was definitely the darkest of the Never after series with how graphic everything was and the level of pure shame felt by these characters.
I loved it, but I do think the last couple of chapters were a little too condensed it was hard to catch a breath.

“I need to erase what any other man has made her feel. To ruin her for even God until the only one she can pray to is me.”

The way I would let Father Cade baptize me with his holy water.

I think this may be my favorite so far of the series. Cade is such a tortured soul and I loved Amaya. That poor girl has truly suffered, but still does everything she can to make sure Quin, who is her autistic little brother has the best life he can have in their circumstances. I didn’t think this was as spicy as the others I’ve listened to, but when it hit, it was good! This was more focused on the tension and their relationship being forbidden and “I want you, but I can’t have you” build up. 

- Hunchback of notre dame 
- Taboo romance 
- Exotic dancer x priest 
- Serial killer
- Tortured hero
- Stalking/voyeurism 
- Calls her “ma petite pécheresse” (my little sinner)
- Disability rep
- Spice: 🌶️🌶️.5/5
