This is our longest episode ever, everyone! This book is ultimately about not just being a survivor, but how people survive, especially after the loss of a loved one. We see this play out not only with Nixie, but with Eve surviving the death of her father, Roarke surviving the [...]

Mavis was Eve’s first real friend. But…was she…? We do know that in order to be Eve’s first BFF, Mavis had to burst into Eve’s life like the Kool-Aid Man, and then never let Eve rebuild that wall. Also, Roarke did kind of the same thing, but instead of busting [...]

For some weird reason, there were not a lot of good reviews for “Visions in Death.” Only a few One Star reviews, and most were boring. Pretty much all the reviews we saw were boring. So, we try hard to make this an entertaining episode for you. As per usual, [...]

In this episode, we talk about all the “Bromances” in the “In Death” Series! For the first half of the episode, Tara was unable to join us, but she joins us in the second half of the episode with some amazing insights as always. First “Bromance” we talk about is [...]

We're technically on vacation, but there was a day in these past few weeks that we still needed to get together and talk anyway. This episode was supposed to just be a short Briefing Room, and it ended up being 2 Hours, because it's us!

This week, we will be talking about our favorite "In Death" Holiday Moments! Jen and AJ recorded this episode a few weeks ago without Tara, but toward the end of this episode, Tara does make a brief guest appearance to give us her favorite Holiday Moment.

AJ and Jen with the help of Special Guest Sue and some of our other listeners have put together an "In Death" Holiday Playlist for you to enjoy! What we learned was that Jen HATES the song "Last Christmas," and both AJ and Jen really dislike Mariah Carey's "All I [...]

We start out the episode with Tara giving us her thoughts on "Divided in Death," because she could not give us her thoughts last episode. She then goes on to prove to us why she needs to be with us for EVERY episode, and why were are so sad when [...]

This book has pretty much everything you could ever want in an "In Death" book: Great mystery, heart wrenching relationship issues, great scenes of Peabody and McNab in Jamaica, great scene with Mavis and then an Eve makeover that leads to one of the best sex scenes in the series...Eve [...]

In our Episode #76, we talked with Emily and Heidi of the “Romancing the Shelf” podcast, and they were asking about whether or not we ever see Steven Whitter and his wife again in another “In Death” book. We have not, but that got us thinking about all of the [...]

Hey, Everyone! We’re back with another We Review the Reviews Episode! This time for “Remember When.” This one is interesting! Earlier, on Instagram we posted about that Venn Diagram of Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb people. Most people who listen to this podcast seem to be in the “Why not both” [...]

This week is a really fun episode. As you may know, because we've mentioned it several times, the Emily and Heidi of "Romancing the Shelf" have NEVER read a J.D. Robb book. Ever. So a short while ago, we asked them if they would be willing to read "Remember When" [...]

In this episode, we review “Remember When.” As we’ve said before, this books was meant to be a “cross pollinator” for Nora Roberts fans to possibly bring them to the Dark Side of J.D. Robb. The book is split into two sections…the first being the Nora Roberts story, and the [...]

Hey, Everyone! It’s time once again for everyone’s favorite podcast episode: We Review the Reviews! This week, we review the reviews of “Forgotten in Death” and there are some really crappy reviews for this one! We actually start off a bit differently than normal by talking about a [...]

This week we talk with contemporary romance author and J.D. Robb fan: S.J. Tilly! She is the author of the "Sleet" and "Sin" series of books, and she's amazing! Her books are super-sexy, so we thought she would be the perfect person to talk to about sex in romance books [...]

This week we are reviewing "Forgotten in Death," Book #53 in the "In Death" series by J.D. Robb, and our impressions of this book are mixed. Jen and Tara liked the book a lot, and AJ thought it was good but not great. We think this book is VERY 2020 [...]

This episode turned out to be pretty restrained, considering (or maybe due to the fact) that Tara had been drinking margaritas and tequila shots prior to recording. She seems to be a sleepy drunk, so don't be surprised if you hear some snoring during the episode. That being said, we [...]

As you all know by now, Jen and AJ are a mess when Tara isn't on the podcast to keep us in line. We attempt to talk about all the times that Eve declares that something is or should be a law or rule.

In this week's episode of the show, we talk about Sports in the In Death World! This was actually a really fun topic, even for someone like AJ who doesn't sports!

This week, Tara is back with us! AND, we're talking about "Imitation in Death"! There are some really iconic moments in this book: Mira trapping Eve into coming to her BBQ, Roarke buying his own BBQ and then fucking it up, Eve slapping Pepper Franklin back, Eve having dreams about [...]

In this episode, we talk about the times that Eve steps over that line, and what that means for her as a character. Okay, let's be honest, we TRIED to do that, but the show went slightly off the rails. Also: Call us, John Stamos!

This week we talk about the Candy Thief!! Who could it be? Is it Feeney? Roarke? Peabody? Is it the whole squad? An initiation rite? Is Eve eating her own candy and then forgetting? We talk about all of these theories on this weeks show!
Aug 14, 2021•1 hr 11 min
In our longest episode yet, we review "Portrait in Death"!! A favorite book of just about every fan of this series. Roarke's personal struggle in this is the main story here, and this book is just a rollercoaster for him, for Eve, for the reader! So many really iconic scenes [...]

This week, we talk with “In Death” Series fan Katheryn, who AJ came across on Apple Podcasts.

Here we are again, folks, with another "We Review the Reviews!" This time we review the reviews of "Purity in Death!" So many BS reviews for this book including: questioning whether Nora Roberts actually wrote the book, Nora "made social commentary throughout that was either annoying or incredibly bigoted," the [...]
