Kiss of Death by Alice Wilde
2.5
Very- Very slow start.. Tbh in a way I feel like this didn't need to be it's own book? I still need to start part 2 but with the flow of everything i feel like the slow pace would've made more sense if the book was longer itself.
We have Hazel, sort of a cinderally in a beauty and the beast kind of story. Hazel bargains her life to save her father but Death doesn't seem all too bad? The story really kicks off when we meet Death, but that doesn't say much xD We have 3 chapters from Death's POV which fuckin sucks because I'd love a little more worldbuilding regarding how he 'works'? Maybe in the next book. Hazel mostly, drags on a lot. Or it feels like that because the writing is a little repetitive. The same word could be used in 4 consecutive sentences which slows me down a lot?
Is a nice read, I'm hoping for plot development, but so far it's not leaving the biggest impression on me.
