Jenn (The Book Refuge)'s Reviews > Kiss of Death ((Underworld Kings)

*Thank you to Wildfire Marketing Solutions and the author for an ARC of this title.*

Another fun and tension-filled entry to the Underworld Kings. I haven't read anything by Mary Elizabeth before but she has peeked my interest.

Kiss of Death is about Rip who is newly in power in the Mafia and he plans to make some changes. One night a club he meets Vera, who just draws him in. There is something about her that makes him want to kiss her or destroy her, in equal measure. He knows she must be bad for him but he can't help himself.

What I liked: I thought that both Rip and Vera were very compelling. This is a short tale but I was already rooting for them. They had a crazy chemistry and it was very intense right from the first moment.

What I didn't like: Well, it was a novella length story and as I haven't read any other books in the Hush series, I was a bit confused by everything that was happening. It didn't really feel like an HEA to me and I don't see any info on if there will be more about this couple. I felt like I was left hanging.

This was a steamy little quick story... like... the forest scene... if you know, you know. I would very much be tempted to read more of this couple if the author chose to give it.

4/5 stars
