Eric is marrying Tabitha and heading off to honeymoon in
Paris. Sounds simple, right?
Except he can't seem to keep his hands off (or dick out of)
Rachel, even moments before the ceremony. Then a self-
righteous gang of Werewolf bikers show up to try and
Christian the hell out of Eric and any other vampire
attending, causing a slight delay.
Marriage accomplished, Eric need only catch the plane with
Tabitha and give her the honeymoon of her dreams. As they
deplane at Orly however, they are met by a group of immortals
who insist Tabitha must pass a series of tests proving her
worth before she is allowed into Europe. As Eric continues
to Paris alone, Rachel seizes the chance to bring Eric to
her side.
Meanwhile, back in Void City Eric's psychopathic daughter
Greta is drowning her sorrows in violence and having a high
old time with Eric's Vampire Mustang, Fang. While Eric is
otherwise occupied, the Empress vampire Lisette decides it
would be a fine time to wipe out anyone under Eric's
protection.
Violent, raunchy and hilarious, this third in the Void City
series kept me caught in its coils from first to last.
Although the narrative switches viewpoints with almost every
chapter, J.F. Lewis kept the lines of action clear and
concise and never lost the ability to spice even the most
tragic scenes with a dusting of humor. CROSSED continues
Eric's story and reveals some of the hidden causes for the
idiosyncrasies he has shown in previous books. J. F. Lewis
is not afraid to shake things up and is brave enough to
allow the story to take a logical course even though it
costs the continued existence of some of the people of
importance in Eric's brood. He also manages to slip some new
quandaries into the final chapter, enough to reassure
readers another Void City novel (Hunted ) is on the
way.
In spite of his continuing hot-blooded affair
with his soon-to-be sister-in-law Rachel, Eric’s plan is
simple: Give his vampire girlfriend Tabitha the fancy
wedding she’s always wanted, then head off to Paris for
their honeymoon in the hopes of tracking down his sire, the
Empress vampire Lisette. The City of Love proves anything
but romantic when the True Immortal rulers of Europe try to
block Eric from entering the Continent—and subject Tabitha
to a series of challenges to prove her vampire worth. Back
home in Void City, Eric’s volatile daughter Greta is getting
lonely and bored—and that’s not good news for anyone.
And when, like a bat out of hell, Lisette descends upon
Void City to wipe Eric and his brood off the face of the
earth—forever—this much is clear: the honeymoon is over.
