Episode 42: Kingdom of the Cursed (and some serious book rage) Oct 18, 2021

Show notes

We're Kearsten and Tatyana, two best friends who love sharing our opinions about our favorite books and bookish impulse buys. Come hang out while we dive head first into the seven sins of Hell and fall a little more or less in love with Wrath. This was less action packed continuation in the Kingdom of the Wicked series and Tatyana is for sure here for it! While Kearsten loved the Italian coast line setting, there's a whole new world to be discovered in this second novel. Not as NA as we had all hoped, but here we are! So welcome to Hell and may you find your house of sin to align with before the Sin Quarter turns you into an ice pop.
