Cursed. Betrayed. Banished.
Fifteen hundred years is a long time to wait to get revenge. The Fae know how to nurse a grudge, and now they have returned to England to claim their rightful place.

Step into a world of forbidden love and dark magic with 'Kiss of the Blood Prince.' This best-selling book is brimming with intense desire, revenge, and an unbreakable bond between fated mates, making it an irresistible read for fans of Sarah J. Maas, K. F. Breene, and C. N. Crawford.

Elise thought her biggest problems were her crap job and lack of a love life, but when a pissed off fae prince attacks her train, and she's taken as his slave, her problems are only just beginning.

Prince Kian has spent years planning his revenge on those that betrayed him, and it's going to take more than one infernal female to stop him. But as desire ignites between them, they realize they may be each other's salvation.

Breaking the curse that plagues Kian means Elise has to make a dangerous bargain with the fae, one that there is no escape from. Can Elise save Kian and herself before it's too late?

'Kiss of the Blood Prince' is an adult paranormal romance that contains graphic violence, swearing, and sex scenes.

Loved this new to me author and can’t wait for more!!
This was my first time reading one of Thorn’s books. I came across KISS OF THE BLOOD PRINCE while on Amazon looking for another Fae story. I read the blurb and liked what I saw. So after coming off one fae story, I quickly moved on to another. And it was a fabulous read, y’all!!From the beginning, when the fae attack, it was so very intense. People were going mad and there was destruction all around. Then enters the Prince. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like his character. But the more I read, the more I fell hard for him. I loved the moments we saw his soft side throughout the book.I adored Elise. She was a tough chick but not so overbearing you couldn’t enjoy her story without being reminded every few pages of how tough she is. To me, there is such a thing as too much bad-a’ness.KISS OF THE BLOOD PRINCE was a fantastic and unique read. I quickly flew through the pages, eagerly wanting to know what happened next. I am looking forward to what is in store for the brothers and if they find their cure to their curse. I absolutely need their stories. 5 Stars!

Great pacing. I love that we get insight from multiple perspectives. The dialogue is spot on. (I only wish that there were a graphic novel version to collect as well!) Joyous adventure. Endearing characters. Totes recommended.

I’ve been a fan of this author for a while now, and I must say, I’m intrigued by the new direction.

Similar to her last series, “Kiss of the Blood Prince” is a post-apocalyptic world where myths, magic, etc have suddenly become real. In this case, instead of Greece, we’re in the United Kingdom, and instead of the Greek gods, we have the fae.

The book was fast paced, and engagingly written. I particularly thought the dialogue between brothers was entertaining.

Kian and Elise’s relationship was… fine. I wish they had spent more time getting to know each other before discovering their mate bond, but I could see what they saw in each other. I think Elise forgave him much too quickly for his lies of omission (also, can the fae lie in this version of fae?? Interesting) and accepted their mate hood more or less without question, but I suppose that’s par for the course with a fated mates trope.

Also, there’s the smallest jab at my least favorite “book aesthetic” trend ever, which is to organize books on a shelf by color, and I was definitely here for it. I mean come on people… author last name and subject, not color of the spine!!!

Overall, a good read, a good series concept, and I hope that the next book takes more time to develop the characters’ romantic relationship, and to build some tension, before they get together.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable like a comic book
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2022

Gave it 3 but could be a 3.5
The general idea of the plot is quite good but the execution was not so much.
I KFC is spunky and quite average, kidnapped by a fae prince in the middle of a brutal take over of London.
He spares her life while killing every other human and the story is about their relationship and bonding.
The Prince is cursed,his time is running out (as his 2 brothers which are featured in their own books) and the KFC is his cure.

I found the plot interesting and the book was enjoyable.
However the characters were flat, sometimes even juvenile. The language was not what was expected from fae getting after 1500 years, situation s that shou!d have been deeper and more emotional were rushed.
It was rather like reading a comic book which you enjoy.
It is light , enjoyable and passes the time. This is not a book that will hold you riveted or you may even forget it with time. But for the duration of your reading it will entertain.

I really love this author. Her books are pretty short and to the point, which I love. Sometimes books mosey on and then bam every thing happens at once and the pace just isn't quite right. Alessa Thorn does not have this problem. This book was well paced and very interesting. It held back just enough information to keep you reading and on the edge of your seat to see what happened. I love the villian being the live focus. I think showing how villainous actions aren't always black and white and there are definitely two sides to every story. Kian and Elise had some major tension throughout the book that made me want to yell at them to just kiss already. When they finally did it was a cheer worthy moment cause you know that is the turning point. I thought both of the main characters were dynamic and compelling and it kept me interested in their budding relationship. This was a great read and I really can't wait for Bayn and Killian's books!!

❤️ I was pleasantly surprised by Kiss of the Blood Prince! I really just wanted a quick and easy read (which this was) but I actually really enjoyed this book.

📚 Short books like this are usually rushed with lottttts of smut and no plot but this one has a REALLY cool premise and a good plot (and lots of smut 😂)! Definitely going to be continuing the series soon.

Why I liked it
🦌 dual POVs in 3rd person
🦌 Occurs in the “human” world and mentions IRL things (Stonehenge, London, historical events) and literary references (Narnia, HP, beauty and the beast)
🦌 captor/captive trope 👀
🦌 smart, hard-headed captive & territorial, only-nice-to-her captor
🦌 FMC: I usually I find something annoying about the human women in a fae story but I adored Elise

Why not 5 stars?
🩸 I know this wasn’t supposed to be realistic (I mean, it’s about fae) but the interactions between government officials felt kind of far fetched
🩸 blood play is just not my thing
🩸 definitely some Instalust (fated mates will do that, I guess)

📖 Favorite Quotes
- Heal the past. Create a future.
- He enjoyed watching her expressions change from curiosity to delight whenever she opened a book.
- You called out my name… and I would have slaughtered the whole damn world to get you back.

Great read, looking forward to the rest of the series. Love that it’s not cliffhangers as I am getting tired of waiting for books only to find I have lost interest in being strung along for ages. 3 fae brothers and the awesome women that help each break their curse.

This is most definitely an enemy to lovers story but wow it’s extreme in places, I love how strong Elise is, in everything she does and feels. Kian is scary as heck, with good reason. This is the start of an awesome series.

Okay so the first quarter was slow for me, but once the MCs started to interact, I finished it within a few hours. Loved the setting, and the chemistry+banter between the MCs. Can't wait to read the rest of this series!

Also, did anyone else get the vibe that this is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast? It isn't mentioned anywhere in the blurb, but I felt like it was one.
