S. Young (a.k.a. Samantha Young) is one of my favorite authors. I simple love all her books from all the genres she’s written in. And after reading ‘War of Hearts’, her first paranormal romance novel, I knew this genre was another one by her I just loved. So I was super excited to start reading ‘Kiss of Vengeance’, and if I hadn’t got the flu last week, I would have easily devoured this book in one sitting.

‘Kiss of Vengeance’ was the perfect blend of paranormal, romance and suspense. From the very first page I was hooked to this book. The thing I like the most about this read is the way the two main characters Rose and Fionn, although they have paranormal abilities, the seem so normally human. I can easily imagine them being real people in the real world. Which made it easy for me to imagine their story to be real. And I just love that about S. Young, because she is able to do this every time. She really is able to create ‘real’ characters.

Although I had to get used to this paranormal world again in the beginning, I didn’t mind not ‘getting’ everything at the start. I always had a fascination with the Faerie world, so I enjoyed getting to know the world of Fae again.

The chemistry between Rose and Fionn is there from the beginning. And it was really amazing to read. Although there is chemistry, they don’t give in to it for a long time and it made for a perfectly long teasing and brewing romance. I loved it! There are some pretty hot and toe curling moments, and their romance simple made for a perfect story.

Fionn was definitely my favorite character. There’s just so much more than meets the eye with him. I loved how strong, how determined and also how caring he was. And obviously his love of books is a big turn on! I mean really? He just had to be more perfect? LOL!

Rose was also a fun character to get to know. She had been searching for something her whole life. This meant she travelled a lot, and she was just so brave about it. I wish I was as brave as she.

Beside the romance, there was enough going on in this book to keep you hooked and sitting on the edge of my seat. There were several moments I really had to force myself to slow down and read every word. I just really wanted to know what was going to happen and almost found myself skipping words just to go faster. If that isn’t a sign I loved this book I don’t know what is.

‘Kiss of Vengeance’ is definitely one of my favorite reads. I loved it! And I can’t wait to read more books in this series. Especially now I had a clue about who the next story is going to be. Sigh..
