Kiss of Death Theory Page

Welcome to the Kiss of Death Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Kiss of Death series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Inspiration: The writers might have been inspired by the story of Romeo & Juliet while writing this story. Things that strengthen this are the November 2022 Insiders, the Chapter 1 summary, the "starcrossed" tag, and the book's introduction.
 * Big Bads: Many players theorize that the Big Bads of the story will be our very own parents, as it is believed that they are the ones that started the feud between them and the Flints by causing trouble. Some players have even gone as further as to suggest that they had a hand in Clyde's death, either intentionally or unintentionally. While the first part is strengthened in Chapter 14, the second one is still up in the air.
 * Alternatively, another candidate for the Big Bad is Dylan Flint, since he seems to hate us and tried to throw us off a building in Chapter 4. If that's the case however, it is unknown whether he acts alone, or under Nadia Flint's orders. This is weakened with the revelation that Nadia is the one who wants to kill us, with the reason being that she wants to take revenge for what our family did to hers.
 * Clyde: Since the trope of coming-back-from-the dead is very popular and since Clyde has died off-screen, some players believe that he faked his death and is still alive and in hiding, and that he will eventually show up sometime in the future.
 * Ending: There is a theory that the story will have a tragic or a bittersweet ending, similar to With Every Heartbeat and Ride or Die: A Bad Boy Romance, Book 1. This is supported by the premium scene in Chapter 13, where we can daydream with Vic about a future peaceful life. If that turns out to be true, there are several possibilities as to what these endings might include, such as:
 * MC/Vic dying: By the end of the story, us and/or Vic might end up dying, either depending on our choices or regardlessly.
 * Death of both families: There is a chance Beckham, Zarya, Dylan and Nadia will die by killing each other, thus ending the feud between the two families. This would also mean that we and Vic would end up together after that.
 * Incarceration: Similar to the death scenario, this could end up with everyone other than Vic and us arrested.
 * Choosing between our family and Vic: Given that this is something teased in the trailer of the book, there is a high possibility that we will eventually have to decide which side we are on later in the story, and the one we don't choose could end up dying.
 * Early Series Finale: Since the general release seemed to begin later than usual, it is likely that this book might get similar treatment that Guinevere got.
 * Mole: After the revelation in Chapter 15 that there might be a mole feeding Mayor Truong and the Police information from inside our family, many players suspect that said mole is either our best friend, Faith, or our very own bodyguard, Roy. The second part of this theory is weakened with Roy's death in Chapter 17.

Confirmed Theories

 * NC-17: Due to the recent surge in mature-tagged stories, it is believed this story will be mature as well. This is confirmed when the book cover is revealed.
 * Reason for Mature tag: Given the mafia romance premise, this book may contain graphic violence, sexual content or both. In Chapter 1, it is confirmed that the book contains both.
 * Single Love Interest: Due to the recent surge in single love interest stories, it is believed this story will have one love interest as well. This is strengthened with the mention of "Vic" in Chapter 2, who is most likely the gender customizable love interest. Chapter 1 confirms this when it displays a message before the customization choices.
