About this listen

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!!

Critic Reviews

The world is READY for basilisk spice. Frisky, addictive, unhinged - Kiss Of The Basilisk might be the most fun you'll have reading all year. I'm completely shameless for this book

Not for the faint of heart . . . delightfully bonkers

If you are looking for some seriously saucy smut - the kind of thing that respectable citizens keep under lock and key, lest the servants might see it - then this might be the one you're looking for . . . epic and often unhinged sex scenes

The Romantasy bachelor show you didn’t know you needed 😂.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but this was too spicy. It was questionably spicy. They were like bonobos, everything revolved around spice, resolved with spice…

There were some plot holes… 🕳️ and it dragged on a little at times - very long book and I’m not left convinced that everything there needed to be there.

I’m very much going to be reading the next book in this series, I’m keen to see what comes next. It was entertaining, non-stop, spicy, and romantic, with good banter, and a good amount of mystery.
