The frigid weather we’ve been experiencing lately has been good for one thing: curling up with a great book. And "Cross My Heart" by Megan Collins was exactly that—a thrilling and thought-provoking read that I couldn’t put down. This is my third Megan Collins book, and while it didn’t quite reach the five-star heights of her previous works for me, it’s still a solid four-star read that captivated me from the very first page to the final twist.
"Cross My Heart" is a dark, twisted tale of love, loss, and obsession. The story follows Rosie Lachlan, a woman recovering from both a heart transplant and the heartbreak of being left at the altar a year earlier. As she adjusts to her new life, Rosie begins to suspect her heart donor was Daphne Thorne, the wife of local celebrity author Morgan Thorne. Compelled by this connection, Rosie reaches out to Morgan through an anonymous platform called Donor Connect, hoping to uncover more about Daphne—and herself.
What follows is a suspenseful journey filled with unexpected twists and shocking revelations. Rosie’s need for answers pulls her deeper into Morgan’s world, where truths blur with lies, and nothing is as it seems. The novel expertly keeps readers guessing, unraveling the layers of both Rosie’s and Morgan’s lives until a jaw-dropping conclusion.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers with a romantic edge, "Cross My Heart" is a must-read. Megan Collins once again proves her talent for crafting gripping, emotionally charged stories that linger long after the final page.
Wow! This was my first Megan Collins book and WILL NOT be my last. What a rollercoaster of a read! Cross Your Heart by Megan Collins is a 5⭐️ thriller read.
This story introduces us to a completely relatable yet unreliable narrator who you'll find yourself stuck between hating and loving. The narrative skillfully calls out toxic masculinity and offers a poignant commentary on how women are often perceived by men and even other women for being “too much”—simply for wanting to be loved.
One of the aspects I truly loved about this book is its depth. Beyond the thrilling plot twists, it offers multiple layers that are both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. I was so moved that I even shed a tear or two.
Overall, this is an outstanding read if you're looking for something to devour. The story is convoluted in the best possible way. I've already convinced a friend to pre-order this gem.
