Shadow Baddies Book Club

What is it about a good enemies to lovers story that has us shifting in our seats? Join us for a fresh new episode as we explore our favorite trope and why enemies to lovers just...works.

The Baddies read their first shifter romance and... we are KNOT ok. We are huge fans of Ali Hazelwood's steminist novels and were super excited for her fantasy debut of Bride. We didn't know what to expect and trust us when we say it was KNOT this! Check out the episode for our review of Knot, I mean, Bride by Ali Hazelwood.

 “Will it ever stop? Wanting you—every hour, every breath. I don’t think I can stand a thousand years of this. My productivity will plummet.” In this final installment of our ACOTAR deep-dive episodes, we wrap up the BEHEMOTH that is ACOWAR- skipping all the boring shit and getting to the juiciest parts. In what is inarguably our horniest episode, we daydream of the perfect throuple, while listening to the cries of the injured after an epic battle against Hybern. Replete with half-formed theories, and plenty of drooling over Daddy Az- celebrate a much needed break from the Maasverse with our final ACOTAR episode for a WHILE. xoxo- The Baddies

Slide into our second installment of our ACOWAR deep dive as we zig zag across a frozen lake in evasive maneuvers, have the sweetest Feysand reunion and visit with the creepy mass of shadows and teeth, Bryaxis under the House of Wind.

The Princess of Carrion has been unleashed in the Spring Court! If only Lucien's magical whirring eye could have seen that coming. In the episode, we will be covering Part 1 of A Court of Wings and Ruin. We will shift in our seats after popping lady boners for Feyre, get sweet revenge on Ianthe, and sick the Bogge on our enemies.
