THIS BOOK IS NOT SAFE TO READ AT WORK.

And honestly, the less you know about it before reading . . . the better!

Twenty year old Temperance Verus has never been kissed. But that's what the basilisk is for.

Along with thirteen other contestants, Tem must train with a basilisk to learn the power of seduction and win the prince's hand in marriage. When Tem is matched with Caspen, the Serpent King, she realizes she might actually stand a chance.

But with tensions rising between the basilisks and the humans, Tem is torn in two directions. As her bond with Caspen deepens, so does her connection with the prince. And when she uncovers a terrible secret about the royal family, Tem finds herself caught between two worlds . . . neither of which she can survive without.

Read this book if you like any of the following: Golden fangs; inappropriate use of a claw; hot men with daddy issues; hot women with daddy issues; witty banter; long, dextrous fingers

Guaranteed to make you blush (and then some), Kiss of the Basilisk is like if fanfic Draco Malfoy went on the Bachelor and had to compete with a snake. Sounds fun, doesn't it? That's because it is!!

I don't wanna leave spoilers... but the last 6 hours or so were a struggle to get through and I'd have preferred ab ending where the author wrapped up the other loose ends... like the dungeons and also I'd have liked certain people to die or bow... and there was a building of the king stopping Leo and not crowning him king but he just did it without struggle? and again WHAT DID THE MOM SAY AFTER SHE HEALED AND DID THEY GO TO THE DUNGEONS

what the fuck happened to her dad!?

This book is so different to anything I've ever read before. The two MMC's are HOT🔥, and the spice 🌶 is delicious 🥵😳. Can't wait for the 2nd book in the series!

Cons:
Ok, so the story is, imo, unnecessarily long.
🤨🤦🏼‍♀️.

I am in with the absurd, ridiculous and over the top everything in this “story”, but it was way longer than it should have been which made it repetitive. There’s barely any plot or character depth or world building, but let’s be honest, who’s reading this book for the plot anyways? ;) There’s so many unhinged stuff happening, I feel the author should’ve embraced the absurd more instead of trying (and failing) to be serious. But I had a good time listening to this book, not going to lie. It’s just that it’s one of those bad-good books, lol

Yeah, that was something
