Crossed by Emily McIntire

Description

Crossed by Emily McIntire is a dark romance and the second book in her Twisted series, which is known for its reimagined fairy tale retellings with a darker, grittier edge. Crossed is a reimagining of the classic tale of Cinderella, but with a twist—this version is far from the fairy tale we know. The story follows Scarlett (the "Cinderella" character), who has spent her life living in the shadow of her abusive stepmother and cruel stepsisters. She’s stuck in a dangerous and toxic world, trapped in a cycle of manipulation and cruelty. However, Scarlett is no longer the innocent girl waiting to be rescued. She’s hardened, determined to take control of her fate. Jace (the "Prince" figure) is the dark, brooding, and powerful man who becomes a key part of Scarlett's journey. He is connected to a world of crime and danger, and his relationship with Scarlett is full of tension, desire, and distrust. As the story unfolds, Scarlett finds herself drawn to Jace in ways she can’t quite understand, and their complex, volatile connection grows as they both deal with their own emotional wounds and the harsh realities of their lives. The book is filled with intense chemistry, suspense, and forbidden attraction. It dives deep into themes of revenge, healing from trauma, and personal empowerment. The relationship between Scarlett and Jace is filled with passion, but also shadows of danger and betrayal. Crossed is perfect for readers who enjoy dark romance with a bit of an edge, where love and revenge intertwine in a complex and emotionally charged storyline.
