Summary
From internet sensation Lindsay Straube comes the first book in the sexy, biting Split or Swallow series, featuring dangerous basilisks, competitive seduction, and a love triangle that could destroy kingdoms.



Twenty-year-old Temperance Verus has never been kissed. But that's what the basilisk is for.



Along with thirteen other contestants, Tem must train with a basilisk to learn the power of seduction and win the prince's hand in marriage. When Tem is matched with Caspen, the Serpent King, she realizes she might actually stand a chance.



But with tensions rising between the basilisks and the humans, Tem is suddenly torn in two directions. As her bond with Caspen deepens, so does her connection with the prince. When she uncovers a terrible secret about the royal family, Tem finds herself caught between two worlds, neither of which she can survive without.



Contains mature themes.

Spicy, spicy, spicy. I did look forward to listening to this book every night, and at times woke up in the middle of the night to listen some more. I enjoyed the development of the story, the twists, and the surprises. The ending has me hankering for the second book asap.

The love triangle was chefs kiss. I was Team Leo the whole time. I’m glad he was willing to share her and didn’t die or something crazy. I’m holding on for them to just become a throuple.

The story was secondary to the spice. We would get some plot and then spice on repeat for the next few pages. I love a good romance book, but this just seemed like unnecessary spice all the time to where it was repetitive and boring to me. I would pass on it.

This is the only book I’ve ever listened/read that is like this. I was so absorbed in it and I really enjoyed the narration.

The book overall was good, a bit too much sex (I get that was the point) but at times I found myself skipping areas because it was too much. But that is simply a personal opinion. The writing itself was very well done.
