Kiss of Death by Alice Wilde

4.0

Decent start to the series

I heard a lot of good things about this book and since I’m on a bit of a paranormal binge I knew I had to dive in.

I was hooked from the start but I found my interest waning as the book continued. It’s very Beauty and the Beast, which I have no problem with, but I was hoping for a bit more as the characters began to get to know each other. You know when Belle is exploring the castle? A lot of that but no singing candlesticks. I know getting to know one another takes time but I would have liked to learn more of Death’s story. I did enjoy his POVs, even if they were brief.

I feel like I was very intrigued for a chunk of the book, then struggled and the ending was predictable (of course, since we know the deal) but I feel like I should have felt a bit more. Am I interested enough to read the next book? Definitely. I think there will be more action and we will learn more about the characters and their world. As well, there are multiple love interests and I think we have met two so far. I’m wondering what else is in store so I will be continuing the series.

3.5/5
