A Court of Tattoos and Rosé

Welp…Nesta, Emerie and Gwyn are in the Blood Rite….and on completely separate sides of Ramiel. What could make it worse? Oh right, someone is leaving weapons for the warriors to use against them. What could make it even worse? The rest of the Inner Circle is dealing with Briallyn’s mysterious kidnapping of Eris. What would make this all the worst of the worst? Rhys and Feyre finally confessed thei...

Would you ever have guessed that Mads and Blake would do an entire episode just on Elain theories? To be honest, we didn’t see this one coming either. So will she go evil? Is she destined to be a High Lady? What’s going on with her seer powers? Let’s deep dive!

Spring has sprung in Prythian and the Inner Circle’s enemies have been eerily quiet. Nesta and Cassian go on a date…to see Eris. After a brief history lesson for Nesta, he proceeds to complain about being left in the dark. Once they leave the Middle, Nesta and Cassian take what should’ve been a romantic stroll along the Sidra. Things go downhill from there quickly and by “downhill” we mean that Ne...

Everyone should have the right to be themselves and all that that includes. Absolutely NO ONE should be telling you who you are supposed to be. That includes: friends, family, loved ones, internet trolls, AND THE GOVERNMENT. We are not sure when we went back into time but let’s revert. No religion, government, or person should be telling you how you should live, act, and look. That is everything t...

This week we are back in the Throne of Glass world! Join us as we discuss Queen of Shadows and Madison’s unforgivable betrayal. Between all the scheming and the new characters we get to meet, it is easy to see why this one is Blake’s favorite in the series. Spoiler warning for the entire Throne of Glass series!

The Valkyries are back! Their first task? Conquer the mysteriously violent obstacle course that Cassian and Azriel set for them daily. Along the way, Cassian gets a new nickname from Blake (she regrets it immensely). Turns out the Prythian Ninja Warrior course was actually a Blood Rite qualifier. What could possibly go wrong with having them qualify for that horrible event? Later, Nesta defeats th...

The patrons picked the absolute best topic for this week’s episode! Join us as we fangirl over our favorite strong and gorgeous book girlfriends! We would risk it all for each of these women…including a few toes. The question is…which toes???

Well, I (Blake) was sadly unable to make this recording…but honestly I think it was for the best cause ya’ll are in for a treat! ... So, we did ACOSF. What follows the mating bond did not please us, so we took a trip down memory lane. Enjoy, XOXO.

It’s time for the Inner Circle’s annual Winter Solstice party! Nesta’s goal for this year’s party is simple…be better than last year. That’s a low bar to clear so the odds are good. Poor Lucien endures more hits to his confidence from Elain. Meanwhile, Nesta picks up on some interesting vibes between Az and Elain. Nesta gets some fantastic gifts, including a truly adorable present from Cassian. Th...

The patrons have voted and we are talking triggers! Keep in mind that trigger warnings are vital and should always be read! Now let’s chat about the warnings we see that make us go “add to cart”! The three of us don’t have many no-go triggers but the ones we do have may surprise you (or not). Actually the most surprising thing is Maddie’s TikTok FYP….

Yet another Winter Solstice is upon us and the Court of Nightmares is decked out for the occasion. After Feyre makes a stunning debut, the rest of the Archeron sisters are formally introduced as members of the Night Court. Rhys gives a risky (somewhat threatening?) gift to Eris. Then it is time for the main event! All eyes are on Nesta as she conquers the dance floor and steals Eris’ heart in the...

Are you curious about what our bonus Patreon episodes are like? Good news! This week we are dropping our hilariously chaotic episode with @Danelle_erica12 as a fun little sneak peek into our Patreon exclusives! Danelle came prepared with some SJM themed lists for us and the task was supposed to be simple…who would you F? Who would you marry? Who would you unalive? The task was not simple AT ALL. D...

We interrupt our Spring Break to answer the ultimate question: what are our favorite Disney movies? We chat about our favorite princesses, best animal sidekicks and some truly epic soundtracks. To be clear, we are talking Disney and Pixar, including both animated AND life action (cough cough GENA cough cough). We could barely cover a portion of our Disney favorites so Star Wars and Marvel will hav...

It’s been a month of Valkyrie training, dance lessons with Mor and lots of fun times with Cassian. Needless to say, Nesta is in absolutely amazing shape! As the Winter Solstice approaches, Gwyn gives Nesta and Emerie a gift for the ages. While in the library, Emerie has an unsettling experience. Later that night, Nesta continues her personal growth by allowing the House to light a small fire in he...

We’re back this week to discuss some of the most underrated authors in the reading community! These authors are all truly amazing and deserve all the love from readers, bookstores and social media! Have a pen and paper ready because we are about to add quite a few authors to your TBR!

After a rather nasty trip to the Prison, Nesta, Cassian, Feyre and Rhys have a little debriefing that raises a lot of questions. We learn of the Daglan, beings who sound suspiciously familiar. Nesta learns about a few more powerful swords. Once again, at least one of those swords sounds very familiar. Basically, Blake has another field day with deep dives. Nesta also agrees to tango with Eric at t...

Well our plans for this week’s episode got a teensy bit sidetracked. Can you guess why? Of course you can! SJM has announced the title for the next Crescent City book, confirmed the release date and even gave us the synopsis! Now it is time for the deepest of dives into what it all could mean. Let’s go!

Want to dip your toes into the world of dark romance? Don’t know where to begin your journey? Look no further! We have got you covered with a wide array of recommendations for this delicious genre. We’ve got classic enemies to lovers, mafia worlds, hurt/comfort books, fantasy picks and lots more. Whether you are looking for MF, MM or a some fun group activities, we’ve got you covered!

Well the Harp royally screwed Nesta and Cassian over. It opened the doorway for Nesta but it also opened a single cell…that happened to belong to Lanthys. After some very pointed comments about Nesta and Cassian’s relationship (rolling our eyes), Nesta makes a split second decision only to realize her mistake soon after. Lanthys continues his arrogant villain monologue until Nesta reveals Ataraxia...

Welcome back to our mental health series where we share our own struggles, discuss coping techniques, and above all else, provide a reminder for everyone that you are never alone. Today we’re discussing our favorite books that accurately and beautifully portray mental health issues. We also chat about the guilt that can come with taking time for yourself and, more importantly, how to tackle that f...

We are thirsty for the tea this week as Mads and Gena comb through 1 star reviews on some popular reads in the bookish world! From Crescent City to Sex Wizards with a little 50 Shades thrown in there, we give you the run down on cringy word counts, DNF statuses, and reviews that rival the length of the books themselves. Buckle up, y’all are in for a fun treat!

Cassian and Nesta need to work on their field trip locations. This time they are at the Prison to collect the creepy Harp. A prison that is full of deadly beings that Cassian helped put away. What could go wrong? Everything! Prepare for a HUGE deep dive session by Blake into the intricacies and connections in SJM’s multiverse. Once again we are reminded that clear and concise wording is key when d...

Join us this week for a very special author spotlight episode! The fabulous @authorcarlyspade is back to talk about the upcoming release of Of Love and Forge: A Neosphere Novel, the first book in her exciting new series! As always, we have some *minor* tangents that will have you in tears laughing. If you are a fan of sci-fi fantasy, cyberpunk, romance, mythology and some high quality spice, then...

The people have spoken again! This week is all about book to TV/film adaptations. We chat about the good, the bad, and the downright horrendous (i.e., the wigs in the Twilight franchise). Is the fantasy genre cursed when it comes to film adaptations? We think it may be. From Edgar Allen Poe to Holes to the infamous Shadowhunters adaptations, there is a lot to discuss. Also, need a good cry? Gena h...

Nesta is back at training and her friends have a lot of questions. Luckily their questioning is cut short when Gwyn introduces a new obsession for them: a single white ribbon. Cassian and Nesta go head-to-head to see who has the best dirty talk. It’s a close race to be honest. Gwyn invites Nesta to a beautiful concert beneath the mountain. The music bewitches Nesta entirely and causes her to scry...
