“Hellhounds declaring a glitter fight? Vampires at war with accounting? It’s another day at the Community of Species Government.”

In a bit of surprise twist this week, Nikki & Meg decide to add in a completely unplanned episode! So inspired by Nikki waxing poetic about this series during our episode on Paranormal Romance (see episode #22), Meg decided to download and read The Hidden Species series in one week just so they could talk about it!

Join them this week as they talk about:

* Nikki’s love of demonic bureaucracy

* How this series avoids the “exposition dump” of world-building

* The funniest in-universe store to ever exist for…spicy toys

* Why MM-romance universe books seem to always have a population problem!

Then, head on over to the comments on our Substack and let us know what you think!
