As she pretends to compete for Dorian's heart, it starts to feel less like an act...and more like falling in love. If Maisie doesn't deliver her kiss by sunrise on the last day of the competition, she forfeits her life. But if she succeeds, Dorian dies. When the pageant ends, will there be a true victor? Or only death and broken hearts?ACOTAR meets Bridgerton and The Selection in this standalone fairytale retelling of The Little Mermaid.

"I loved everything about this book. The writing, the plot, the dialogue and characters. I’m not a huge fan of books whose main focus is the romance tbh. I find that I get bored if the characters get together too quickly, and I assumed that would be the case for this book, but I’m glad I was wrong. This was only meant to be a filler book, truthfully, but I absolutely fell in love with it! 10/10"

"I LOVE a good fairytale retelling. Kiss of the Selkie is a wonderful Little Mermaid retelling. I love the heroine in the story. She has such a snarky Don’t mess with attitude that I loved! <br/><br/>The “Prince” is Dorian, at first he is a mystery, didn’t take long to Love him. <br/><br/>It does have a little twist with who the “Ursula “ is in the story. <br/><br/>I love all Tessonja’s books, she definitely did disappoint with this story. <br/>"

""Kiss of the Selkie" by Tessonja Odette tells us more about the story of Selkie Princess Maisie with her companion Podaxis who is, on the run but ends up having her fate entwined with Dorian son of fae killer and the human she saved. <br/><br/>I would give "Kiss of the Selkie" by Tessonja Odette a 4 star review because, 1; I really enjoyed this novel but unlike the others it wasn't my fav like Heart of the Raven Prince and Curse of the Wolf King 2; I loved Podaxis and 3; for me The Bridal Competition was new to me but it was intriguing."
