Kismet

This book was so fun! I loved Episode as a teenager and this brought me back to my love of choosing the character's fate! I didn't know I needed an erotic adult, choose your own story until now, and I'm so hoping this becomes the new normal! It was so fun getting to help Tracey throughout the book, I read through two paths so far and had so much fun seeing what the outcome was for each one! I definitely recommend this book for those of you who are secret Episode lovers! Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

OMG! I totally forgot how fun the books of my childhood were when you got to pick how the story went. You read a few chapters then you get to choose what path the main character makes. The author gives you two choices and then you click the link (if reading eBook, otherwise it will tell you the page number to turn to) to hop to the path you want to take and you read until the next choice presents itself. It is so fun to feel like you are a part of the main character making choices for her. It also allows you to read the book multiple times and have different results as you make different choices. The main character is at a crossroads and needs to make better life choices as the book starts out with her in the midst of a horrible path that she willingly led herself down. You get to choose whether she makes better choices or continues down the path of self-destruction. It's a short story so you don't get a ton of depth in the characters, but the fun of making choices for the character balances that out in my opinion. It isn't going to hit any classic literature lists or outstanding reads (5 stars in my opinion), but it is going to be on my list of fun short stories to read! It's better than just good (3 stars in my opinion) as it adds the fun factor of choosing how the story progresses, so I'd give it a solid 3.5 stars and with the 5-star rating that rounds up to 4 stars.

I thought this was such a unique premise I just had to read it! Went through twice in order to end on the "happy ending", and I was pleasantly surprised! Adventurous and hot, this novella is everything you'd expect from a choose-your-own romance.

WHAT OMG THIS WAS SO FUN. SUCH AN INTERACTIVE READ AND SO STEAMY. I ENJOYED IT A LOT. I wish more authors would d0 more books like this, and it works on your Kindle!

I have never read a “choose your own path” story so this was interesting! I’m not sure exactly how many paths there are, but I did end up reading it again twice. I chose different paths each time and did end up with two totally different endings.

I thought the title of Kismet meaning fate/destiny while allowing the reader to choose their own path was really clever.

This could end up being a really spicy read for some, or not at all for others depending on the path chosen.

There were a few grammatical errors throughout the book, but overall I really enjoyed picking my own choices!

Thank you NetGalley and Gab Tuls!

I love love love interactive stories and had an absolute BLAST going through as many scenarios as i could read my way through to find out how many different paths this story could play out. It was engaging and immersive and I love that it was adult-themed and focused and while many stories were heavily spicy, you could also choose lots of different outcomes. Loved it.
