Join us as we yap about Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas!

Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil. Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice.

As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer.

It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances— not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart. Then one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie... and whom she is ultimately willing to fight for.

Join us as we yap about Ace of Betrayal by Jessica Jude!

Two years ago, I fled without a word, leaving behind my elite life of luxury cars, designer wardrobes, and private jets. I swore I'd never come back. But it turns out, college professors don't really care about that stuff.

Which is how I find myself back in the place I thought I'd never see again. Facing the people I thought I left behind for good. My plan is simple: keep my head down, finish my research, and head back to Oxford as soon as I can. The only thing I didn't count on? Needing his help to get into the library. How am I supposed to concentrate on my studies while he fidgets beside me, those long limbs distracting in the worst way possible?

It's been two years. l've moved on. *Obviously.* But we're talking about the guy who shredded my heart the last time he got his hands on it. The one who still looks devastatingly handsome in those low-slung board shorts and that chiseled torso. The one who can unravel me with a single word and make me question why I left in the first place. A mistake like him would be fatal, because this time my heart won't survive.

Join us for The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner!

A female apothecary secretly dispenses poisons to liberate women from the men who have wronged them- setting three lives across centuries on a dangerous collision course. Rule #1: The poison must never be used to harm another woman. Rule #2: The names of the murderer and her victim must be recorded in the apothecary's register. One cold February evening in 1791, at the back of a dark London alley in a hidden apothecary shop, Nella awaits her newest customer. Once a respected healer, Nella now uses her knowledge for a darker purpose - selling well-disguised poisons to desperate women who would kill to be free of the men in their lives. But when her new patron turns out to be a precocious twelve-year-old named Eliza Fanning, an unexpected friendship sets in motion a string of events that jeopardizes Nella's world and threatens to expose the many women whose names are written in her register. In present-day London, aspiring historian Caroline Parcewell spends her tenth wedding anniversary alone, reeling from the discovery of her husband's infidelity. When she finds an old apothecary vial near the river Thames, she can't resist investigating, only to realize she's found a link to the unsolved "apothecary murders" that haunted London over two centuries ago. As she deepens her search, Caroline's life collides with Nella's and Eliza's in a stunning twist of fate - and not everyone will survive.

We enjoyed Lights Out by Navessa Allen!

"I don't need another kink." That thought pops into my head whenever | pull up my favorite social media app, but alas, every time I scroll, I learn something new about myself, and another one is born. And yes, I know I'm responsible for what the algorithm shows me, but I'm trying to ignore that fact. Lately, my feed has been dominated by masked men. I've favorited videos with them dressed in full cosplay, decked out in futuristic military apparel, and wrapped up like ghouls. But more than anything else, my FYP is filled with shirtless men wearing ghost masks. Bonus points if they're heavily tattooed, wielding a knife, or covered in fake blood. At night, I dream about being chased by them, of them catching me and doing deliciously dark things to my more than willing body. I never could have guessed that by sending one drunken text, those dreams would become my new reality. Lights Out is a fast-paced dark romance with a morally grey male lead. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to readers.

Please check the TWs at the beginning of the book.

Join us as we discuss Iron Flame (The Empyrean #2) by Rebecca Yarros!

“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity."

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College-Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet's already wondering how she'll get through. It's not just that it's grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it's designed to stretch the riders' capacity for pain beyond endurance. It's the new vice commandant, who's made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is-unless she betrays the man she loves. Although Violet's body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else's, she still has her wits— and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules. But a determination to survive won't be enough this year. Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College-and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.

We hope you enjoy!
