It’s monster mash October! We’re starting our month of monster romances with Moth by Lily Mayne. This book had big squee moments. We love a grumpy sunshine dynamic with plenty of steamy MM scenes that are so thoughtfully written and explore ongoing consent in a beautiful and sexy way. We adore Lily Mayne. We’ll be featuring another of her books next week.

What are you reading this month?

Did you read the Chronicles of Narnia books as a child?

In our newest episode, we continue our foray into fantasy fiction from our childhood with two books from the Chronicles of Narnia. This week we’re discussing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis.

This week we’re discussing Whispers of the Deep by Emma Hamm 🧜🏼‍♂️🧜🏼‍♂️

Y’all this book had no business being this good, but like a fish on a hook, we were snagged by this story. We have an enemies to lovers, monster f-cking tale with an intelligent, clever human FMC who’s just trying to live and an undine (merman) MMC who’s so tired of humans ruining his home.

Our new episode is up! We’re discussing A Touch of Chaos by Scarlett St. Clair, the last book in her Hades x Persephone saga.

Y’all, this book was non-stop, and it certainly would have helped us to read the last book from Hades POV, not just as a reminder for what had happened in A Touch of Malice, but also because there had to be some behind he scenes stuff in Hades’ book that we missed out on. Reflecting on how H&P have developed from AToD to the last book was just so good. Our Shadow Daddy and Goddess of Spring have grown so much 🥲

This book has triggers for dub con and SA, as does our episode. Take care of yourselves 💜

In our newest episode, we discuss So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens. Our main character, Arek, struggles to figure out his next steps after fulfilling a prophecy, and unintentionally becomes king of Ere. Missteps and magic bind him to the role, and he must find a partner, someone to bind soul to, before his birthday.

This book has loads of LGBTQ+ representation, features magic, fantasy, and fully embodies the miscommunication trope. We covered this as our second pride month read, and it was a delight! It had us both wishing we could refer to our leaders as kind.

In our newest episode, we discuss Eragon by Christopher Paolini. We appreciated the story telling, the world building and we loved Saphira and her relationship with Eragon.

We missed the boat on reading this when we were younger, so this was a first read for us both! Have you read Eragon? What did you think?

17/04/2024

10/01/2024

Our newest episode is live! This week, we’re discussing Chasm by Stacey McEwan! We were really excited to get to this story—there’s tons of action, some angst and a little romance. Dawsyn remains a kicka$$ queen and we loved her.

Join us this week!

27/12/2023

Our newest episode is live! We’re discussing A Holly Jolly Mess by CM Nascosta, who is the queen of writing seasonally themed, smutty novellas featuring some of the best monster romance. It’s a great little holiday read. Join us this week!

13/12/2023

New episode! This week we’re discussing Craving in His Blood by Zoey Draven and it was an excellent palate cleanser after Iron Flame. Zoey Draven is so good at writing the perfect amount of romantic angst in her stories.

This book leads us to the planet Krynn, with sexy aliens who feed on blood, an FMC who’s just trying to find her place in a new world and an MMC who’s torn between choosing love versus duty.

Join us this week!

Oh friends, I just finished Run Riot by Colette Rhodes and it was SPECTACULAR. We’ve got a slowwww burn, reverse harem with “good vs evil but the good is maybe evil” vibes! AND maybe it’s just me but this felt like an allegory for purity culture and the evangelical church…I mean, down to the purity rings, training women to be submissive females and the conservative dress…except with polyamory 😅 **no PIV or PIA seggs in this book, buuuut some outstanding scenes with manual stimulation 👋

Anyway, this is book one of five, on KU, and you can bet I’ve already gotten the next in the series.

29/11/2023

Our new episode is liiiive! This week we’re discussing Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros 🔥🔥 Oh my friends, this book was a RIDE and we had A LOT to say about it.

Join us this week! And don’t forget you can reference our Fourth Wing episode if you need a refresher before starting Iron Flame!

15/11/2023

Our new episode is liiiiiive! This week, we’re discussing A Fire in the Flesh by Jennifer L. Armentrout. This book brings us back to Sera and Nyktos, as they grapple with the false primal of life, Kolis, and the embers of life Sera carries.

Tbh, we could just read a whole book of daddy Nyktos saying amazing things to Sera 😍😍 join us this week!

31/10/2023

Happy Halloween, friends! We’re back with a new episode! If you’ve ever the The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and thought, “this would be so much better with smut”, you are in for a treat with Hollow by CM Nascosta. This book is comprised of two novellas—one centered around Ichabod Crane and one about Katrina van Tassel. Both are exceedingly entertaining and terrifically sexy.

Go check it and our episode out! 🎃🎃🎃

After The Serpent and the Wings of Night, we HAD to discuss its sequel, The Ashes and the Star Cursed King.

Sooo many loose ends and small moments got resolved in this story, but at the same time, we still have so many questions about what’s to come in the series. We can’t wait for the next book.

Who’s read it?!

01/08/2023

Oh friends, we love an alien romance, and what better time to satisfy your alien urges with an IPB book than now?

Ruby Dixon’s book, Barbarian Mine, is the fourth installment of her Ice Planet Barbarians series and it was SO cute.

Who else has ventured into the world of Not Hoth? 😂
