Kiss of the Royal
by Lindsey Duga
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: July 3rd 2018
Entangled Teen

Summary:

In the war against the Forces of Darkness, the Royals are losing. Princess Ivy is determined to end this centuries-long conflict once and for all, so her new battle partner must succeed where the others failed. Prince Zach’s unparalleled skill with a sword, enhanced by Ivy’s magic Kiss, should make them an unstoppable pair—but try convincing Zach of that.

Prince Zach has spent his life preparing for battle, but he would rather be branded a heretic than use his lips as nothing more than a way to transfer magic. A kiss is a symbol of love, and love is the most powerful weapon they have—but try convincing Ivy of that.

With the fate of their world on the line, the battlefield has become a testing ground, and only one of them can be right. Falling for each other wasn’t part of the plan—but try convincing their hearts of that.

My Rating: 5 Stars

My Recommendation: Super High

This book was an epic, action packed thrill ride that had me hooked from start to finish.

What a super fun , engaging, beautifully written read. With rich detail and lush world building, I was captured. I love reads like this, so much back and forth between our MC's. Watching them slowly fall, but most of all watching them grow and change together.

I have to say that this book has been one of the most enjoyable reads I've had this year. Everything engaged me, and I didn't want to leave. Right now I'm not sure if there will be another book, the ending was pretty closed, but I do feel there are somethings that could be explored and there are some things left unexplained. But that ending, holy hell.. man I love it when books shock and surprise me. Just when you think you've see it all. Love it!!!

Over all this book is s super high recommendation from me. This book is more then unique and original, it's fresh, it has taken old cliché and turned them on their heads. This is not your normal cookie cutter YA. This is a must read!

Happy Reading

Lindsey Duga developed a deep love for courageous heroes, dastardly villains, and enchanting worlds from the cartoon shows, books, and graphic novels she read as a kid. Drawing inspiration from these fantastical works of fiction, she wrote her first novel in college while she was getting her bachelor’s in Mass Communication from Louisiana State University. By day, Lindsey is an account manager at a digital marketing agency based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. By night, and the wee hours of the morning, she writes both middle grade and young adult. She has a weakness for magic, anything classical, all kinds of mythology, and falls in love with tragic heroes. Other than writing and cuddling with her morkie puppy, Delphi, Lindsey loves catching up on the latest superhero TV show, practicing yoga, and listening (and belting) to her favorite music artists and show tunes. KISS OF THE ROYAL is her YA debut novel.
