ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Midnight Ruin: "We're Endgame baby."

ACOFAE is back with the latest Dark Olympus installment and let's just say Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are in this one for the plot. Eurydice wants. She wants to be useful, independent, sensual, and free from the memory of Orpheus. Charon is in charge of Eurydice and wants her. Orpheus is sad and sorry and wants...direction. Enter the plot of Midnight Ruin -- the barrier is failing, people are dying, and the big bad is finally revealed! We have a name, a reason, and kind of a plan. Enter Orpheus groveling and Charon dropping lines. Exit Laura Marie's ability to keep a straight face. Join ACOFAE as they put the pieces together and determine that you know what? That man needs to beg some more. A lot more. Good boy.

Did she even know her best friend? Ruhn, Ithan, and the rest of the boys have their own issues...And Tharion just wants to be a part of your world. Really that's all he wants. Join ACOFAE as they dive back into the book that frustrated and shocked them. And yes, the ending. Whew.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Rise of a Dark Throne: "Here before, here now, here after."

A magical and unexplained plague is not a theme that ACOFAE has a lot of experience with. However fated mates, close proximity and secret keeping are themes that Laura Marie and Jessica Marie have extensive experience with! Dive into Rise of a Dark Throne with ACOFAE as Laura Marie and Jessica Marie discover differences between the audio and KU editions and how that wildly changed the story! Consistency is key at ACOFAE and Laura Marie is once again asking if she is a cranky B and Jessica Marie is loving the story of female friendship loyalty.

TW / CW: Per the author's note -- this book contains classism, death/dying, drinking, discrimination, forced captivity, graphic sex, grief and loss, murder, racism, serious injury, slurs, swearing, violence, warfare, weapons

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: ACOSF Revisited: "I respect her."

What's that saying? Distance makes the heart grow fonder? That certainly is the case here as ACOFAE revisits A Court of Silver Flames with a fresh perspective, new connections, and a Pattern to apply! Nesta is depressed and making it everyone's problem, Cassian is trying to help and making it worse, and Azriel is the worst chaperone in Prythian. The lore drops here are magnificent as we refocus our read to the prison, the dread trove, and Ramiel and all the fun little things that could or could not have an impact on future books. ACOFAE Laura has a little realization on why the read was so hard the first go through and Jessica Marie comes out with a deeper respect for Nesta than she realized. The love for Rhys and Cassian remain as strong as ever as does the love for Azzy, our favorite bonus chapter bat boy with problems.

TW / CW: grief, trauma, death of a parent

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Chain of Thorns: "I'd thrive in Thule."

It must be December if ACOFAE is saying goodbye to another section of the Shadowhunters saga! This year we say goodbye the Merry Thieves as we close The Last Hours with confrontation in Paris, a confrontation in the Silent City, and a confrontation in Westminster Abby, of all places. Cordelia and Matthew are in Paris and almost in love, and James is on an adventure to save his sister and Beliel finally does the damn thing and pulls the plot together. If you're expecting Jessica Marie's tears you've got them here and if you're expecting Laura Marie to kick and giggle over James then you're in luck too. It's the holiday season and the London Institute's annual Christmas party is also in full swing to set things off right. Oh and when Jessica Marie says Will, 90% of the time she means James, OH and when Laura Marie says GOLD in the beginning she means Chains. IT'S THE HOLIDAYS.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Happy 3rd Birthday ACOFAE: The Virgin Suicides and Fourth Wing.

Happy 3rd birthday ACOFAE! During the darkest time of the year it's the most important time to reflect on life, on episodes, and on mindsets. Join ACOFAE for their birthday as they revisit The Virgin Suicides and Fourth Wing with new perspectives, new stories to tell, and new ways to look at yourself! What happens when you're in a funk watching or reading something that everyone loves and you kinda don't? Laura Marie and Jessica Marie take a hard look at themselves and ask if they were the problem, or more specifically "Am I a cynical brat?" as they dive back into the movie and book that rocked the boat the first go around.

Meet James, Cordelia, Lucy, and the rest of The Merry Thieves, as demon activity in London is at an all time low and the drama is about to be at an all time high.
