This Fatal Kiss

Lose yourself in a whimsical YA fantasy filled with dark magic, mischievous spirits, and flirty polyamorous romance.

Cursed to haunt the river winding through a magical spa town, Gisela is a tragic water nymph bound to the place where she drowned. Longing to return to the living world and the family she was torn from, Gisela clings to one fragile hope: a single kiss from a mortal can restore her humanity. But to everyone else, she’s nothing more than a monster to be feared or destroyed.

Enter Kazik—brooding, stubborn, and dangerously devoted to hunting spirits. As the grandson of a powerful local witch, Kazik is determined to cleanse the world of so-called unholy creatures like Gisela. But when he disastrously botches her exorcism, Gisela proposes a bargain: she’ll keep his fading magic a secret from the other spirits if he helps her play matchmaker and secure the kiss that could save her life.

Things quickly spiral when Kazik also falls for the devilishly charming young man Gisela sets her heart on—someone with mysterious ties to her past and secrets of his own.

This enchanting journey through the spirit world blends slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, multiple POVs, and a richly atmospheric fantasy setting with cozy charm and dark fairytale vibes. Expect witty banter, found family, sisterhood, indulgent culinary magic, and heartfelt moments that will have readers kicking their feet in delight.

✨ A must-read for fans of fairytale retellings, queer YA fantasy, polyamorous romance, and lush, cozy-yet-sinister worlds.
