Join Lauren and Christina as they talk all things Nesta, Cassian, the Inner Circle, and, of course, our fave character - the House of Wind.

As a Barnes and Noble staff review for this book said, get in losers, we're going to hell...hell bent that is! Join us this week as we discuss the sequel to "Ninth House," all things golden, and pour one out for Babbit Rabbit #justiceforbabbitrabbit (iykyk). We travel through the secret societies of Yale, talk predictions for the final installment in the Alex Stern Series, and draw comparisons between Harry Potter, Severance, and even Barbie (trust us, it makes sense - kind of.) We end with a round up of our last/current/next reads, and even a little sneak peak into what's coming next week! So grab your fave beverage and tune in as we talk through all things Lethe, Darlington's golden...assets, vampires, and all things Hell Bent!

What a week! After a technical glitch, where we lost our Divine Rivals episode, Tomes & Tonics switches gears to something a little...darker.

Wow, wow, wowwwww, this week we have a special episode for you! Fellow booklover and Tomes & Tonics bestie, Mary, joins us for a "Booktok Booktalk" episode, where we cover not one, not two, but three popular books! First, Mary kicks it off with an in-depth conversation of bestselling novel, "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue," and begs the question - where was the will to live in the 1700s? Second, Christina brings us one of the hottest Booktok books out there, "Butcher & Blackbird," and Lauren never wants to have cookies & cream ice cream again (iykyk). And finally. Lauren takes us back (and forth) in time with the magical "The Unmaking of June Farrow." Grab your fave cocktail and let us know which of these books is your fave from this episode!

As always, this episode contains spoilers for these books, so definitely listen with care!
