• if you know the language mostly, but want to know what's ideomatic, take a look at Effective Kotlin https://leanpub.com/effectivekotlin
• if you want to learn programming with Kotlin as a first language, pick Atomic Kotlin https://www.atomickotlin.com/

Also "Kotlin design patterns and best practices" should be a good book for that by showing idiomatic ways via design patterns. (Also, it has a more rapid syntax introduction in the beggining.)
