About this listen

To earn the hand of the prince, she'll have to learn the art of love . . . from a basilisk. The spicy sequel to KISS OF THE BASILISK, perfect for fans of Elise Kova and Katee Robert.

Tem's goal was straightforward: learn the art of love from a basilisk so she could marry the prince. But nothing's simple when love is on the line. In the all new, explosive sequel to KISS OF THE BASILISK, the steamy romance that broke the internet, Tem will find herself tested in new and extraordinary ways.

Readers LOVE the Split or Swallow series!

If you don't end up hissing after you read this book, then READ IT AGAIN. This unhinged, addictive, and smutty book was the highlight of my month! 5 freaking stars!

I am not a monster romance girlie but want me to tell you why I railroaded this book in A SINGLE DAY? BECAUSE ITS INCREDIBLE.

SOS, I need help because of how in love with this story I am 😈🐍🤝 (put me down)

Monster stuff is weird to me and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. I will die on that hill. THIS monster stuff?? Give me all of it and more. I will read this again, maybe a third time, before the year is up.

Serpent summer FOREVER.

A great way of connecting book one with the story of the two kings, it had me on the edge of my seat, love the spice, plot and narrators

Captivating

The only thing I don’t like was how she kept to high moral of what to tell when to tell . Other than that this was fantastic

It was brilliantly dirty

I have NEVER rated a book BEFORE I was finished! I am about 85% finished and I just couldn’t wait! am SO SO glad I decided to listen to the second book! I didn’t even know it was out and when I saw it was in duet it pretty much sealed my decision. I didn’t anticipate the storyline though! The plot certainly does thicken and I am heartbroken because WTAF TEM! I almost don’t want to finish it because I am scared of what’s going to happen. I’m so invested now and I my heart can’t take it. BTW I have never listened to anything as spicy as these books and I have listened to a lot of dark and spicy books but this takes the cake and I’m so here for it! Apollo 🥵

Duel Narration YES!

Since this is the second and last book of the duology I won’t list any tropes (for fear of spoilers) 🙌 Overall, standing ovation for the narrators 👏 👏 👏 Duet narration and narrators did a really good job. The book itself ended in a way that was not what I like to see in stories but happens fairly regularly where a female becomes too powerful during her journey and must be punished for it. It was emotional and bittersweet ending to a long, smut filled story that barely resolved some of the overarching world problems. While it was a fun and questionable ride, at the end of the journey I’m unfulfilled, unsatisfied, full of questions and lamentations.

Lindsay can do no wrong. This was a perfect book 2. To say anything about it would ruin it, just read it. Great audio!
