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.

This book just brings me joy. I have read it twice and couldn’t wait to listen to it on audio. Tem’s character development is amazing. I already have the second book pre-ordered. 10/10 for smut with an actual plot you will love.

Unhinged and addicting

I loved the overall story! I think it was very well written the spice was spicing! I don’t think there was too much of one thing, but I do love two princes and a girl!!!! Was kind of hoping for all three of them to hook up, but that’s OK. The ending was very happy ending and the epilogue blew my mind so I’m excited to hear the next book.! 5 stars all around

I did actually like this book not just for the smut

This book changed my whole life, my standard of books, my perspective of romantasy. I have been obsessed with this book from day one so much so it has become my token identity. I have a blind date shop and i keep a half a shelf just for these amazing books. The ending had me so emotional and the attachment to the characters I havent felt since ACOTAR. Thank you for this masterpiece
