I was really intrigued by the premise of One Dark Kiss—a steamy, modern twist on a fairy tale, with mafia elements, legal drama, and a brooding ex-con love interest. Rebecca Zanetti definitely knows how to deliver heat and tension, and the chemistry between Rosalie and Alexei is strong from the start. The darker, grittier take on Snow White vibes worked well in places and gave the book a unique edge.
But overall, this one was a mixed bag for me. Some scenes dragged due to repetitive inner monologues. While I appreciated the setup and the high-stakes atmosphere, the characters didn’t quite evolve beyond their tropes, which made it hard for me to stay emotionally invested.
However, I am still interested in reading the next story and the new characters.
Thank you, Netgalley and Kensington Publishing, for sending me this e- ARC in exchange for my honest opinion
