The Traitor's Kiss

By: Erin Beaty

Narrated by: Kathleen McInerney

An obstinate girl who will not be married.
A soldier desperate to prove himself.
A kingdom on the brink of war.

With a sharp tongue and an unruly temper, Sage Fowler is not what they’d call a lady―which is perfectly fine with her. Deemed unfit for marriage, Sage is apprenticed to a matchmaker and tasked with wrangling other young ladies to be married off for political alliances. She spies on the girls―and on the soldiers escorting them.

As the girls' military escort senses a political uprising, Sage is recruited by a handsome soldier to infiltrate the enemy ranks. The more she discovers as a spy, the less certain she becomes about whom to trust―and Sage becomes caught in a dangerous balancing act that will determine the fate of her kingdom.

With secret identities and a tempestuous romance, The Traitor’s Kiss is Jane Austen with an espionage twist.

AMAZING BOOK

Would you listen to The Traitor's Kiss again? Why?

yes because it really fun and I really loved the romance and i loved the twist in the story :) and let us not forget the action and the smart planning

Worth the Wait

For the first hour or so of the book I definitely thought I was in for a rough ride. It's a smidge slow and confusing to start, but once you grasp everything it's literally fantastic. It's so easy to lose yourself in both the romance and the action. It's made my cross country road trip seem like an hour long trek!

Such a great book

I literally just finished this book and I'm diving on the second one because oh my goodness I love these characters and this world. (Vague spoiler beyond this point, but I won't name names) As a mom, something that happened in the later half of the book was super difficult to get through, but all in all I think it was worth it. The ending was very heartwarming and had me in happy tears. Definitely recommend this book!

Great book, terrible audio quality

The book gets 5 stars. The Audible recording gets 1 star. The book is a fun and interesting twist on YA fantasy. It reminds me of how much I loved Tamora Pierce's first series. With that said, the audio quality is terrible. I have 30+ Audible books and this is the first one with poor audio quality. There's a subtle crackle to the narrator's voice, possibly due to a bad/broken mic. It's distracting enough that I prefer the book over the audio version.

Not what I expected!

What made the experience of listening to The Traitor's Kiss the most enjoyable?

I really loved the story the most, but the narrator didn't distract - which was nice. The story reminded me a lot of "The False Prince". It was a fun book and I enjoyed it thoroughly!
