This Fatal Kiss

Alicia Jasinska

4.06 AVERAGE


As always, I enjoyed the Polish mythology that Jasinska weaves into her books. I loved the evolution of Gisela and Kazik's relationship where they went from enemies to slowly developing a friendship. I am hoping there is a sequel due to the way the story ended. Thank you NetGalley for an ARC.

- too YA for me
- FMC is 17 (I just can't relate anymore)
- the modern language keeps throwing me off as I think it does not match the setting

I picked this up wanting something quick and easy and it was even better than I expected. I loved the incorporation of Slavic folklore and aspects of the culture too, I appreciated that the love triangle was ACTUALLY a triangle and not a love 90 degree angle. The ending though...I thought this was supposed to be a standalone?? Now I'm left on a cliffhanger. It was still amazing though!

The cozy fantasy that came at the right time. It was light fantasy though there are some darker themes inside. The MC was fun, likable and so unserious. I enjoyed the polyamory aspect of this book, fun to read even though you might ship one couple more than the other. Interesting worldbuilding and I think there will be a sequel
