The Gothic Tradition Pt. 1

Bethany and Melissa are two recovering academics who have finally given themselves permission to return to their roots of YA and indulge in the romance. Their English lit backgrounds will not go unused as they find that just like in real life the more interesting the characters, the more intricate the plot, and more superb the writing—the better the sex.⁠ Tune in each Monday as they unravel and review their current YA, NA, and Fantasy reads without shying away from the smut.
