Imagine every one you kiss dies, well that is what happens in my book The Poison’s Kiss by Breeana Shields. Marinda is the main character, she is a teenage girl that lives in India with her younger brother and aunt. Marinda has to go and assassinate people she is told to with one kiss. Her biggest fear is having to assassinate someone she loves. Marinda has done this alot but then she is given the orders to do this to the one she knows too well, Devan. After she was given the orders to assassinate Devan, she thought about going against the Raja and she did. Marinda now has to stay as hidden and try to keep devan alive from the Raja. Marinda can no longer see her little brother. I recommend this book to whoever loves mystery, drama.
Poison's Kiss
By Breeana Shields
A teenage assassin kills with a single kiss until she is ordered to kill the one boy she loves. This commercial YA fantasy is romantic and addictive—like a poison kiss—and will thrill fans of Sarah J. Maas and Victoria Aveyard.
Marinda has kissed dozens of boys. They all die afterward. It’s a miserable life, but being a visha kanya—a poison maiden—is what she was created to do. Marinda serves the Raja by dispatching his enemies with only her lips as a weapon.
Until now, the men she was ordered to kiss have been strangers, enemies of the kingdom. Then she receives orders to kiss Deven, a boy she knows too well to be convinced he needs to die. She begins to question who she’s really working for. And that is a thread that, once pulled, will unravel more than she can afford to lose.
This rich, surprising, and accessible debut is based in Indian folklore and delivers a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
