We're back with The Finish Line by Kate Stewart! This is the third and final book in The Ravenhood series, BUT if you're looking for more discussions on the boys of the 'hood, stay tuned because we may just cover the spin-off series, Ravenhood Legacy, here on Story Darlings for next year! 😉
Where Flock and Exodus were very much focused on Cecilia's story, The Finish Line really centers on Tobias and his upbringing with Dom—though Cecilia is still very much integral to the development of this book's plot.
Kate Stewart creates a story here that helps us accept and fall in love with the elder King brother, shows us the origins of the Ravenhood, and grants us some closure to what happened with Dominic and Sean in the earlier books.
And not to mention, we DO get Cecilia's happily ever after. At long last!
We hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you so much for listening and supporting the show!

We're back with our August Amazon Book Club pick, The Mist Thief by LJ Andrews! This is the third book in The Ever Seas and, this time around, we follow shameless flirt, Prince Jonas of the Alvers, and the impenetrable Skadi of the shadow elven.
This might be Tera and Sandra's favorite book yet, and they'd definitely agree that each book continues to get better and better. The Mist Thief is centered on the enemies-to-lovers, arranged marriage of Jonas and Skadi, and their love story turned out to be ridiculously heartwarming and hilarious.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
Stay tuned for our next Ever Seas discussion, which will cover the fourth book, The Stolen Crown, in October. Thank you so much for listening and supporting the show.

EXODUS by Kate Stewart. How dare you break our hearts like this, Kate (again)!
The second book in The Ravenhood series is equal parts devastating and pulse-racing romance as Cecilia is forced to come to terms with being double-dumped, then ghosted, by Sean and Dominic.
And on top of putting the pieces of her heart back together, she’ll have to buck and rage against a brash, new man in her life who turns out to be none other than Tobias King—older brother to Dom and childhood friend of Sean.
What happens when the wolf finally gets a sniff?
The aftermath will leave you reeling!

Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster as the Darlings unpack Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, It Ends With Us, and its highly anticipated movie adaptation which stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
We discuss the heartbreaking stories of Lily Bloom, Ryle Kincaid, and Atlas Corrigan and the pivotal moments that made both the book and film unforgettable. From their childhood tragedies to their traumas manifesting in adulthood, did their movie depictions hold up against the book? And how was domestic violence explored in both?
Tera and Sandra give their honest thoughts on Lily, Ryle, and Atlas's complex and deeply emotional story.

Fate of the Sun King by Nisha Tuli is the third book in the Artefacts of Ouranos quartet! Tera and Sandra discuss everything that happened in this book (with spoilers), and Tera takes a stab at some theories for how this can possibly wrap up.
We get several answers to the questions that have popped up since Trial of the Sun Queen, but the cliffhanger we're left with has us chomping at the bit for Tale of the Heart Queen, which comes out November 26, 2024.

Welcome to Maxton Hall, where the harsh whispers of old money and unseemly secrets echo through its grand corridors. Nestled in the English countryside, Maxton Hall has been the posh boarding school for generations of the old elite. Among them the Beaufort family, whose heirs James and Lydia are currently enrolled as they prepare to one day inherit the family's high-end fashion empire.
Also enrolled? Scholarship recipient Ruby Bell. She is sharp, outspoken, and has a moral compass of solid gold.
Maxton Hall: The World Between Us is based on the German book trilogy by author Mona Kasten (Save Me, Save You, Save Us). At this time, no English translation is available for the books, however the show offers a dubbed version for English viewers. The second season was immediately announced following the success of the series release.
The Darlings discuss the siblings James and Lydia as they navigate love, family, and the relentless pursuit of societal power and James's complex enemies-to-lovers relationship with Ruby Bell as family duty, societal expectation, and class divisions seek to tear them apart.
Whether you're into period dramas, academic settings, or bingeworthy love stories, Tera and Sandra discuss why Maxton Hall and James's and Ruby's relationship are absolutely worth the watch!
