I was skeptical about Kiss of the Basilisk and the first few chapters had me questioning my choice, but am I ever glad I didn't stop. This book is dark, sensual, and layered with power dynamics, emotion, and self-discovery. Temperance (Tem) starts off an uncertain, naive girl, but her strength grows with every page.

I loved this book from the start. The development of Charlotte was real. She started as a girl who didn’t know much to one who understood herself and what she wanted. The amount of sexual tension between Charlotte and Emerson is off the charts and their chemistry was undeniable, even though they tried to ignore it. Emerson’s protectiveness flared up fast, and he didn’t just want to protect her from people/men, but from the world. I loved that even with the slow bur
