November 05, 2025 Pick of the Week: Unforced Error by MsWhich
This is a complicated recommendation and potentially the start of a Hot & Bothered episode. What happens when Hermione is too Hermione in fanfiction?

November 03, 2025 141. Alchemised by SenLinYu "Psst...I see dead people."
This week's episode is a little different from our usual synopsis-style breakdowns. While we both loved this book, we found it challenging to do justice to the narrative's intricacies with a handful of plot highlights and similar book recommendations.
We have done our best to create a sort of Alchemised primer: an introduction to the world and magic system, and a rough breakdown of why the "good" and "bad" guys are fighting with each other. There are slight spoilers, but nothing related to character arcs for Helena and Kaine.
Alchemised is not a book for every romantasy devotee. Fanfiction origins aside, the sheer length of this novel has already divided potential readers. Listen to the first 25ish minutes of the episode for the content warnings and similar books and continue into the second half of the episode for a more concentrated discussion.

October 20, 2025 139. Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood "Not an alpha-hole."
Two picks of the week and one full episode later, we are both (finally) fans of this book. If the traditional rom-com heroine doesn't hit hard enough for you (and Misery from Bride was your girl), then give Rue a shot.

October 08, 2025 Pick of the Week: The Thirteenth Child by Erin A. Craig
Good writing and interesting world-building but this book still felt like homework. If you're a fan of more fantasy than romance or need a palate cleanser, this wouldn't be a bad place to start.
