Review: Cross by Shantel Tessier

Title: Cross

Author: Shantel Tessier
Publication date: August 20th, 2021
Series: Dark Kings #3
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Summary: CROSS
Have you ever stood next to a fire and felt the heat of it on your skin? Stared into the flames and thought how amazing it would be to be that free? It changes direction with the wind, destroying everything in its wake.

That's what she felt like.

Alexa was a wildfire that torched everything she touched, and I couldn't wait to be consumed by her.

She was off-limits. Even though I promised to stay away, I couldn't resist. She was the spark I had been missing in my life. The fire I craved. I knew from an early age I was destined to burn in hell, but she was born to walk through fire.

ALEXA
I was single-minded, focused, and independent. Just how my mother raised me. I didn't have time for anything other than myself and work.

Funny how everything can change in an instant when you least expect it.

A King entered my life.

What was supposed to be one night ended up being too many to count. He was afraid that I'd see his darkness, but I couldn't get enough of him.

After all, a fire burns the brightest in the dark of night. And it only takes one match to cause total devastation.

CROSS is the third book in the Dark Kings Series and can be read as a standalone. Due to mature content and themes this book is recommended for readers aged eighteen and over. This novel may contain triggers.

Review: I am definitely reading this out of order.  But because I only have four days to get this review done, I am just going to back track to the first two once I finish this one. So far I'm in love with the book and cannot wait to finish so I can read Titan and Grave. As a pregnant woman I would have appreciated a warning on the miscarriage as it is one of my two triggers. I am just an emotional mess right now. The only thing that saved me from crying is that I hadn't read the first two books yet and am not emotionally invested in those characters. I love how easily this story flows, making it a quick read for me. I love how in a way it focuses more on the story rather than the romance or sex which makes this book absolutely perfect. It's 6 am, I haven't gone to sleep yet and now I'm going to start Titan.
