In episode 63 of our podcast, we're delving into the theme of revenge, exploring its long history in storytelling. Join us as we examine revenge as a compelling plot device, discussing its intricacies and its appeal with examples across books, TV, and movies.

We touch on the distinction between revenge and justice, challenging the traditional "eye for an eye" mentality. We're unraveling the secrets behind revenge narratives, examining their enduring popularity and the universal themes they embody, in defense of it.

In episode 62 of our podcast, we're talking about Eclipse, the third installment in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga. We're following Bella as she tries to balance her love for Edward with her kind-of-love for Jacob? It's a very confusing love triangle for everyone involved, ourselves included.

The episode starts with a little catch-up, after a couple of months' hiatus, including a look at the season ahead!

In episode 61, we're going down the list of season 5 characters deciding who to marry, f*ck, or kill. After several conversations deep, we quickly realize that Nektas holds the daddy of the season award. We make some shrewd judgements ranking the characters by most hot and most messy (sorry Edward and Bella). Never have we been more excited to continue the Hollows series and follow our hottest character of the season, Rachel Morgan.

In episode 60, we're talking about Melissa's favorite book, it's one she has not been able to stop talking about. Bethany finally gave the "okay" and the last read of the season is Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison, the first in The Hollows series.

Taking place in an alternate world, eerily similar to our own, Dead Witch Walking introduces us to Rachel Morgan, a witch, and her investigative partners, Jenks and Ivy, who all quickly earn our love and Rachel's loyalty. A classic detective novel mixed with the charm of a fantasy novel, this book wastes no time jumping into the action and the drama of Rachel's life.

This is the first of many books in The Hollows series (18 so far!), and we're so happy to share a few with you here on the podcast.

In episode 59, we're talking about the 1929 classic, Passing by Nella Larsen. This book takes place in 1920's New York City, through the eyes of Irene Redfield, a woman deeply invested in her community. Her life takes a turn one summer day when she runs into Clare Kendry, a childhood friend who's been hiding her racial identity to lead an entirely new life. Their reunion leads to months of paranoia, fear, and confusion for Irene, coming together in a devilishly ambiguous ending that pleads for no solution.

In episode 58, we're talking about Scarlett St. Clair's second book in the Adrian x Isolde series, Queen of Myth And Monsters. We fell in love with the pair and their world in the first book and were so happy to get to return so soon.

After declaring their love in book one, forces inside and outside of their relationship are threatening the happiness that felt assured after the reveal that Isolde was (spoiler!) his long lost love, reborn. Betrayals in their inner circle, threats from neighboring kingdoms, and the ire of a goddess seem like impossible odds, but their love only grows through the upheaval. Through all of this, Isolde is growing into a queen that we are eager to see ascend to power.

In episode 57, Bethany & Melissa are looking at all the ways they've seen love in the books read here on the podcast. We're talking romantic love, platonic love, familial. And yes, we're talking about the question of mates, because we have a lot of opinions on this.

The episode covers couples and friends from books old and new to the pod, those that hold special places in our hearts.

In episode 56, we're talking about Rebecca Ross's phenomenal sequel in the Elements of Cadence duology, A Fire Endless. Bethany and Melissa could not get enough of the Adaira/Jack, Torin/Sidra love story and we're so happy to share this discussion with you.

Picking up just a few weeks after A River Enchanted, we catch the fall out from all of the secrets that have held the island together. There's really no other way to describe this book than "beautiful" - a beautiful universe, love stories, and ending to their blight.

In episode 55, we saw each other, in person, for the first time since September 2019. This was a very special trip for us: Melissa got to go to Seattle for the first time, and both Bethany and Melissa spent a night in Forks, Washington. That's where we recorded this special reunion episode, living out our Twilight dreams and soaking up the fresh air.

In episode 54, we're talking about the second book in Kerri Maniscalco's Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy. Kingdom of the Cursed starts right where we left off, with Emilia's first trip to the Underworld in hopes of solving her sister's murder. This book was full of secrets and plot twists, keeping us and Emilia on her toes.

We do some fancasting, some theorizing, and can't help but gush over Emilia's emotional growth through this book.
