Kiss of Death by Alice Wilde

4.0

so the only reason I picked this book up was because I saw one of the authors reels and it grabbed my attention enough to go download it on KU. This is a mixed retelling, and I personally think the author handled that aspect pretty well. I personally liked how the story flowed from one part of a retelling to another. I also pretty quickly felt for Hazel and her situation, and I can understand her motivations and why she gets to the next point in her journey. However, once she and Death are brought together I feel like there should have been more build/ tension before they realized they loved each other; and it doesn’t feel like much happens in the middle as they start bonding? It could be that I’m really not much of a romance reader and struggle with character based stories. Am I mad at the pace though? No, I still really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to others. I will be eventually picking up the rest of the series and I’m hoping to see where this goes from here!
