Welcome to our first We Are Book Wh0res episode! We are kicking it old school and diving into one of the first dark romances and RH books that we read, Den of Vipers by @katieknightauthor 🐍 This books has one of Madi’s all-time favorite book boyfriends and one of my favorite violent FMCs. Enjoy!

Side note: We recorded this earlier this week right before we heard the news that KA Knight is releasing an MM romance (!!!!!) and that Den of Vipers got picked up by a big publisher. Congratulations @katieknightauthor

Mads and I breakdown our new schedule and all the exciting things to come! Ya’ll spoke and we listened so prepare for some awesome new episodes covering anything and everything bookish! You want book recs? We got em! Need a rundown of next month’s releases? No problem! Want to hear some deep dives on your favorite series? We got you! And, of course, you want more HOEAB? Duh, we will definitely deliver!

Who is ready for some Empyrean madness?! I am joined by THREE (this is important) lovely bookworms this week as we chat about @rebeccayarros interview from last week. This inevitably devolves into pure chaos of theories and all the feels. Needless to say, this episode has spoilers for Fourth Wing and Iron Flame!

After some rather gross investigative work, Bryce and Hunt head home to scrub themselves clean. Seems Hunt can’t stop his snooping though when he makes a sparkly discovery. He is able to tear himself away from thoughts of Bryce’s left nightstand (iykyk) to introduce her to the delicious (and slightly self-destructive) Tharion.

Welcome back to Law and Order: Crescent City! Bryce and Hunt have a new top suspect but is that petty bitty really capable of that? Ehhh. Ruhn is an oblivious silly goose. Our CC detectives continue to catch some feelings for each other.

Caitlyn takes us on a tour of modern dating, run club men, and dating profiles.

Nothing like a demon attack to ruin a perfectly good bonding moment. It’s okay though because the immediate aftermath gives Bryce a chance to finally be vulnerable with someone again. I have a mini rant about Hunt’s prior love. IYKYK. Caitlyn also unveils her poolside thriller list!

Welcome to Madi’s Bookish Zagat Guide to NYC! She is giving all the details from her weekend trip to the Big Apple. Meanwhile, I’m over here trying to sell her a Peloton bike at a good discount. We also debate the merits of the two of us taking on Vegas together. Bad idea, right?
