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!!

Industry Reviews

So if I were to describe this book I believe I would sound like a lunatic. So I won't, but rather say this was one of the best books I have read. I literally could not stop reading it. The whole book is non stop spice but woven into that is such a beautiful love story - Amazon Review

My mind is still spinning in the best way possible. The story delivers on everything: suspense, humor, love, heartache, angst, sadness, action, and plenty of spice. I never thought I'd fall for a snake, but here we are. Trust me, go in blind, and you won't regret it. - Amazon Review

[S]uch a freeing read and the smut is top tier. There's not much more you can ask for. Please go read this, enjoy it, and spread the gospel - Amazon Review

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! - Goodreads Review

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 - Sierra Simone, bestselling author of Priest and Salt Kiss

Not for the faint of heart . . . delightfully bonkers - Screen Rant
