This Fatal Kiss by Alicia Jasinska
5.0
thank you immensely to Netgalley and Peachtree Publishing for my first ever ARC! AAAAAAAAAAA-
i so genuinely loved this book omg.
this book focuses on three characters (and all of them get a POV!):
-Gisela, a rusalka (Polish water spirit). she wants desperately to become mortal again, and to do that, she needs a mortal to kiss her (she has not been successful at that yet).
-Kazik (my favorite!!! i love him so much!!! brainrotting over this man so hard while writing this), the town exorcist. hes been trying to send Gisela to the afterlife for a while now (has not been successful at that).
-Aleksey, a boy who seems pretty normal at first but... (he has secrets).
i adored all of these characters, and the three POVs were done remarkably well! each felt very balanced and like they gave enough time to each character to make you love all of them (again though... me and Kazik. i adore him).
i also really did not know any Polish folklore until reading this!!! so that was fun
read this if you want an awesome YA fantasy romance, i very much feel like this will end up in my top ten books of the year
(i need a sequel right now oh my god i need more Kazik. my beloved)
