Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda discuss part 1 of "Caged Wolf," book 1 in Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's Darkmore Penitentiary series. That's right - they're back in the Twisted Sisters' world of Solaria, but this time with Rosalie Oscura as she tries to break out of the infamous fae prison.

Make sure you familiarize yourself with the content/trigger warnings for this twisted, dark romance featuring two serial killers who fall in love while hunting other serial killers/predators.

Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda continue their coverage of Melissa Roehrich's Lady of Darkness series with book 4, "Lady of Embers." We're finally getting answers to the mysteries surrounding our favorite Avonleyan soap opera, but there's also some extra unhinged commentary about Bluey and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. And it's Hilda butchering names this episode - Cassius becomes Cassian, and why does Ashtine have an "e" at the end of her name when you're supposed to pronounced it Ash-ton?...
Bridget, Caitlin, and Hilda continue their coverage of Melissa Roehrich's Lady of Darkness series with book 3, "Lady of Ashes."
