To earn the hand of the prince, she'll have to learn the art of love . . . from a basilisk. The spicy sequel to KISS OF THE BASILISK, perfect for fans of Elise Kova and Katee Robert.

Tem's goal was straightforward: learn the art of love from a basilisk so she could marry the prince. But nothing's simple when love is on the line. In the all new, explosive sequel to KISS OF THE BASILISK, the steamy romance that broke the internet, Tem will find herself tested in new and extraordinary ways.

Readers LOVE the Split or Swallow series!

If you don't end up hissing after you read this book, then READ IT AGAIN. This unhinged, addictive, and smutty book was the highlight of my month! 5 freaking stars!

I am not a monster romance girlie but want me to tell you why I railroaded this book in A SINGLE DAY? BECAUSE ITS INCREDIBLE.

SOS, I need help because of how in love with this story I am 😈🐍🤝 (put me down)

Monster stuff is weird to me and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. I will die on that hill. THIS monster stuff?? Give me all of it and more. I will read this again, maybe a third time, before the year is up.

Serpent summer FOREVER.

The ending was disappointing and made no sense. In my view it destroyed the world the book was built around. I can’t say more than that as it will spoil for those that have not read it yet.

Third Person POV 🫤

Caspenon & Leo (MMC) and Temperance (FMC). Honorable mention: Apollo (Caspen's brother) who is too charismatic and sexy to not be acknowledged ;)

Most of the spicy scenes are very hot 🔥🥵🌶️.

This book was imo, not as good as the first one. However, I found it thoroughly entertaining and although I wish that the story had ended differently (as stated in many other reviews) I understand why the author decided to end one of the MMC's life. The reason is that basically Tem couldn't decide who she wanted to keep (Caspen or Leo), so something had to happen, or rather someone had to make the tough decision (in this case, one of the MMC's).

Anyhow, if you decide to go with the flow of the story and take it for what it is: a smutty, romantasy about a woman in love with the king Basilisk and the human king, I think that you might enjoy this book. Strap in, because its a wild ride.

Happy reading! 📚

After book 1 being an incredible and unique one, this felt like unedit draft. no character growth, rushed plot and ending, constant repetition, smut which you want just to fast wlforward, because it is not even outrageous and hot anymore.

Such a disappointment
