Submit ReviewWe’re joined by Monica Corwin to recap A Kiss of Shadows (first book in the Merry Gentry series) by Laurell K. Hamilton!
Laurell K. Hamilton is one of the original queens of bonkers, an author who was pushing boundaries long before it was cool! Please be aware that in this episode we discuss content in the book that is typical of something written in the late nineties—including mention of a rape that occurs on page and sexual violence as punishment. We don’t get deep into that stuff, but mention that it happens. On a related note, there are dick-eating butterflies!
Monica has a new book out in a few weeks called Snowed in With the Mafia Boss…and if that title doesn’t catch your attention, we don’t know what will!
Our After Care suggestions were:
-The Thornchapel series by Sierra Simone
-It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (movie Melody couldn’t remember the title of)
-Call Her Leviathan by Cooper D. Barham
If you’re reading ahead, here are some of the books we’ll be reading in upcoming episodes (though the schedule isn’t set yet):
The Initiation by Nikki Sloane
The Mabon Feast by C.M. Nascosta
The Mummy (film)…Jenny has never seen it!
If you want more bonkers in the meantime, there’s a ton of bonus content in cyan-l9mk.squarespace.com/temple-information">The Temple of Defiant Joy! For links to all of the books mentioned, check the show notes on our website!
