E

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda wrap up their coverage of Laura Thalassa's Four Horsemen series with book 4, "Death."

Ep 68Famine - The Four Horsemen Book 3

E

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda return to their coverage of Laura Thalassa's Four Horsemen series with "Famine." While they weren't exactly thirsty (or hungry) for Famine's looks, he's snarky and arrogant enough to pique some interest.

E

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda cover "Throne of the Fallen," the latest novel by Keri Maniscalco set in The Kingdom of the Wicked Universe.

E

Bridget, Caitlin, Hilda, and special guest friend-of-the-podcast Vivian continue their coverage of Laura Thalassa's The Four Horsemen series with book 2, War.

E

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda cover "The Wolf and the Witch," the book 3 novella in Charissa Weaks' Witch Walker series.

E

Our trio continues their coverage of Katee Robert's Dark Olympus series with their discussion of book 5, "Cruel Seduction." It should come as no surprise that the names of greek gods were butchered during this recording, but while Caitlin and Bridget are here for Katee's chaotic hook-ups and smut, Hilda's not really vibing with the series. That being said, all three of them had thoughts on that 2-in-1 scene. #iykyk Catch up on previous episodes in the series!Neon Gods: Apple Podcasts or SpotifyElectric Idol: Apple Podcasts or SpotifyWicked Beauty: Apple Podcasts or SpotifyRadiant Sin: Apple Podcasts or Spotify Spoiler Warnings!The Spotify Questions of the Week in this episode may contain major spoilers for Fourth Wing, ACOTAR, Crescent City , and another book this podcast has covered.
