But, it's hard to concentrate on your studies when the hot as hell primitive warrior shows up on your doorstep, claiming your his long lost wife, and seeking vengeance for the curse you (or his wife, apparently) placed upon him. Doubly hard when your a witch prone to memory loss with every spell you cast, and tripley hard when, ever since this sinful man showed up, you've been casting way more spells than usual. Let's just call it quadruply when you should hate this manipulative jerk's guts, but your loins really seem to have some other ideas...Join us for a new episode of The Sexy Scary Book Club this week while we dish Betwitched by Laura Thalassa.

Jess and Lisa are back for a new season of The Sexy Scary Book Club. Over our break, we discovered author Carissa Broadbent and we loved both of the books we read so much, we simply couldn't choose which one to cover on the pod. So, we decided to create a new theme so we could talk about both! The theme for this week is 2 Books, 1 Author. We are diving into two very different but equally lush and dangerous worlds full of vampires, fae, magic, monsters and (of course) complicated relationships. Join us while we delve into Daughter of No Worlds and The Serpent & the Wings of Night for our Season 4 premiere!

What makes for a kind alpha, and are we starting to see more of them in recent paranormal/fantasy fiction?

Jess has picked the first book in the Graveyard Queen series for Lisa. Amelia gray is a cemetery restorer in Charleston who can also see ghosts. Amelia finds herself swept up in a murder mystery, when bodies keep being discovered in the cemetery that she’s been hired to restore…ones that aren’t supposed to be there.

Sure main characters are great, or whatever, but how about some love for those side-piece characters who are always catching our eye??
You know who I'm talking about. Our Wolven bestie Kieran from the Blood & Ash series by Jennifer Armentrout. Poppy may only have eyes for Casteel, except, wait a minute...she's been peeping some of Kieran's personal biz. There's a particular outdoor celebration that comes to mind, or maybe multiple outdoor...celebrations...Okay, girl. We see you.
And let us not forget everyone's favorite Demon Daddy, Lars from Stacey Marie Brown's Darkness series. Who doesn't love a rich demon power player, moving everyone around like pawns in his own personal game of chess? ...Well, but, it's okay when they're super hot and it's all for the greater good or whatever, right?
Join us for a new episode where we leave the main course out of it cause it's all about the sides this week!

Last week we went old school and this week we're going Back to School. We're talking about the first book in the Zodiac Academy series, The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. Twins Tori and Darcy find out that instead of being the humans they thought, they are actually Fae, and not only that, but the last known heirs to the throne. Whisked away to the Zodiac Academy, they'll have to master their newfound powers quickly in order to protect themselves. Mostly from the constant harassment of the 4 Celestial Heirs, who never pass up an opportunity to torment them. Can they do what's needed to graduate from the Academy and collect their inheritance, or will enemies both mysterious and known keep them from what's rightfully theirs?
Next up is a "Slow Burn Paranormal Witch Romance," Curse of Stone. Book one in Veronica Shade's Academy of the Damned series. Madison has turned her back on her Witch heritage, snubbing her nose at the customary invite to La Voisin school for witches and instead trying to blend in amongst humans. Everything seems to be going fine until her boyfriend ends up dead when Madison uses her powers to save a friend. Realizing she might need help to control her witch abilities after all, she flees to La Voisin. Here she seems unable to escape the cloud of death, when her roommate meets an untimely demise. Madison and her newfound friends find themselves wrapped up in a real Nancy Drew style mystery.
It might be summer, but this week on The Sexy Scary Book Club, we're going Back to School!

This week the theme is Going Old Skool & we'll be chatting about some of the OGs in the paranormal romance/urban fantasy genre. We'll be hanging out at Mercy garage with Mechanic and coyote shifter Mercy Thompson. When a wayward kid, and newly turned werewolf shows up dead on her porch after putting in a few days work at her shop, Mercy is roped into helping unravel the mystery of who murdered the kid and who is drugging and killing local Werewolves, in Patricia Brigg's Moon Called. Then we're spending time in the world of Necromancer, Paranormal Investigator, Vampire slayer and overall bad a** Anita Blake, in Laurel K. Hamilton's Circus of the Damned. Just when Anita thinks she has her hands full with one master vampire, another master has come to town and he also seems to have his sights set on Anita. Some gals have all the luck.
We're dishing about what made these books end up in our classic series list and how they paved the way for a genre that's since exploded. We'll discuss how the threshold for romance has changed, the delicate balance of spice and story, & just what the hell is up with all those frilly shirts Jean-Claude wears?

Wait...Were what? This episode is dedicated to those uncommon shifter books you sometimes stumble across that have you scratching your head, raising your eyebrows and wondering, how does THAT work in bed?
This week we're hanging out with honey badger shifter sisters who can't manage to stay out of trouble, courtesy of their criminal of a father, in Hot & Badgered by Shelly Laurenston. Next will go hang out with a bunch of Mermen and other weird beach creatures on a strange magical island, in Mimi Jean Pamfiloff's Mermen. Wait, these mermen lost their tails? Does that even count?

We're back for a new season of The Sexy Scary Book Club and this time, it's all about THEMES. This week we're discussing A Fantasy of Frost by Kelly St. Clare and A Shadow in the Ember by Jennifer Armentrout. These books have a lot in common, from their bad ass take care of business heroines to the strong Alphas constantly trying (and failing) to keep them out of harms way. But, the most interesting commonality is that both of the main characters wear veils (at least to start), and the reason behind this might have to do with a couple of pretty bad moms.
Please join us while we dig into these two books. What's similar, what's different, what's sexy, what's scary, and what the heck is up with those veils?!...

When Blood King and Vampire, Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev, promises to spare her kingdom for her hand in marriage, Princess, Isolde de Lara, must choose between everyone she loves and keeping people safe.
Isolde never saw herself getting married, instead planning to rule her kingdom alone as Queen. She certainly never saw herself married to a monster like the Blood King, what could he possibly want with her? Though she can't deny their chemistry or strange connection they seem to share. Her father gives his blessing, telling Isolde she is "the only hope for their kingdom." Now she's headed to Revekka, where the sky is always blanketed in red, blocking out the sun. Vampire politics are one thing to navigate, but a retelling of history has Isolde doubting everything she had ever come to know.
Can she do what her kingdom is counting on, saving Cordova from the Blood King's evil, rein without losing her heart and soul in the process?
Join us for a new episode of The Sexy Scary Book Club discussing Scarlett St. Clair's King of Battle and Blood.
