Crossed by Lynn Rush is the first book in the YA fantasy series, Winged. She had to lose her memory to find her soul...Pushed through a splice between two parallel Realms, Trinity Dawkins lands in the middle of a busy Minnesota street, literally. The trauma leaves her blind and amnesia-stricken, but she soon finds sanctuary in the strong arms of struggling artist, Jayden Brown.Even worse, the otherworldly enemies she fled make their way to Earth, determined to capture her. Trinity and Jayden are thrown into a battle bound by rules they don’t understand and may not survive.I absolutely love the cover and I'd never read an angel fantasy book before. It was a truly unique experience and one I really enjoyed. The story was fast paced and the characters were likable. However, the language, attitude and mannerisms of some of the characters seemed very childlike and immature. Which I'm not totally shocked at given their ages but it kinda felt like I was "hanging around with the younger crowd" when I was reading. Obviously, I'm older than the characters so this is just how they made me feel lmao. If I were younger I would've totally reacted to the situation in similar ways. This was a great book overall and I'm looking forward to reading the Clipped ARC I received, I can't wait to see what happens next!3.5 Stars.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book, and the following opinions are my own.I loved how the book began, the character, Trinity Dawkins 'lands' in the middle of a busy street, and is hurt in the process. left blind and no memory of how she got there, she soon finds a good samaritan in struggling artist, Jayden Brown.Jayden is intrigued by her and she inspires him in a way he hasn't felt in a long time.Trinity's lack of knowledge of simple things like cars, French fries, and cell phones has him thinking that it's just a case of amnesia. But when wings unexpectedly burst from her back, he has a lot to digest - his innate honor has him protecting her, even when the powerful winged enemies she fled make their way to Earth, determined to capture her. Once I got into the story I really enjoyed the way the author had built her world of 'winged beings' - are they the basis of our myths and legends of 'Angels'? The memory loss that Trinity suffered was a great way of introducing the discovery of both our world and Trinity's abilities.I am looking forward to the next book in the series, and you will be happy that the story has no cliffhangers. But I do hope we hear more of Trinity and Jayden.
