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

every person i have tried to explain this book to has looked at me gobsmacked. It has been quite the experience and the spice level is mad. The warning not to listen while at work was spot on there is no concentrating during this book. The narrator does a great job of bringing it all to life. I will be listening again.

Spicy!!

Me & my friends have been hooked reading this for the past week. Balancing funny and sexy in a surprisingly clever way. Seriously unserious.

who knew basilisk smut was this addictive

I pretty much only chose this to listen to because I assumed that it was a duet seen as there’s 2 names on the narrators but that isnt the case at all,,,, the story was okay, I enjoyed it but would of liked to hear a man’s voice instead of just a woman’s throughout the story.

No idea what I was getting into
