    Ep 17, S2 Hallowpeen: Seeded, Sticky & Frothy

    Grab your PSL (extra frothy whip), freaky little strumpets, because spooky season is here and so is Hallowpeen by Holly Wilde. There’s a trio of sentient, supernaturally well-endowed jack-o’-lanterns, a licorice-wielding Man Candy in a candy-bowl skirt, and more pumpkin puns than a paragraph can hold. Lindsay is obsessed, Jess made eyes at a pumpkin in the grocery store, and Elisa would 100% rather be tied up by Man Candy (and his jawbreaker balls) than seeded by the gourd squad. We also get a kitten-poop wake-up call that rebranded Jess as “Poop Nose Johnson,” a t********g timeline that personally offended a 1979 baby, and Elisa’s childhood quest to find out what a “b*****b job” was. Plus: F**k, Marry, Yeet: Horror Edition, Porn of the Rings costume ideas, and a primal p***y scream challenge. It’s a spooky story with a happy ending. See you Between the Folds. We also cover: The kitten poopocalypse, and how Jess became Poop Nose JohnsonThe Haribo chewing incident Jess may never forgiveMan Candy’s upside-down candy-bowl skirt (and the bong it makes when he sways his hips)Holly Wilde’s euphemism buffet: pumpkin pleasure hole, massive pumpkin pecker, and the one none of us can unread (uncircumcised seed hole)Lines that broke us: “how we peen in Peentown,” raspberry nipple hats, and a 12-inch member that kept time like a metronomeHalf-Cocked Internet Research: what t********g actually is, why the 1980s timeline hurt Jess’s feelings, the Candyman legend, and how to keep your pecker upElisa’s childhood “b*****b job” dinner-table momentFuck, Marry, Yeet: Horror Edition, with Chucky, Hannibal Lecter, and the clown from ItPorn of the Rings costume ideas: Bimbo Baggins, Legolass, Samwise Gag Me, and Gandalf the GayLindsay’s challenge: find your primal p***y scream and set it free in natureNext up: The Incubus’s Angel by Elle SterlingMoisture Meter: 💧💧💧 / Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ / Banana Pants: 🍌🍌🍌 Spoilers always.

    S2 Ep. 16 - The Mad House: The Boob-to-Bloodshed Ratio

    Grab a blanket and maybe your therapist’s number, freaky little strumpets, because this week we’re checking into The Mad House by Liza James. It’s a D-A-R-K (as coined by your Minister of Moisture) sapphic romance about stepsisters Ophelia and Cedar, raised in a religious cult. Cedar escapes. Ophelia doesn’t, until her protector alter ego takes over. Add a tattoo artist by day, vigilante by night who does not do tender. We work out the book’s boob-to-bloodshed ratio and assign ourselves dominant alter egos (say hi to Carissa, Cindy, and a secretary who enforces bedtime). We also play F**k, Marry, Yeet: Step & Cousin Edition and coin “fincest” for the official glossary. Plus: why Elisa will never, ever let Colleen get her dessert “foamy.” It’s a heavy book, and it earns at least one drip. ⚠️ Content warning: The Mad House deals with rape, sexual assault, violence, homophobia, animal cruelty, self-harm, and religious trauma. This is not a cozy monster romance. If that’s too much right now, skip this one. We’ll be back next week with sexy jack-o’-lanterns and licorice Shibari. We also cover: The juicy vs. moist summit, and Colleen’s cream-filled dessert incidentWhether the vigilantism was too much or not nearly enoughThe boob-to-bloodshed ratio, and why we needed more nipple play just for hopeElisa’s deep dive into “Zion,” which turned out to be a biblical place and not a planetA real-life cult rabbit hole, plus Jess’s take as a former trauma therapist in correctionsOur dominant alter egos, revealedFuck, Marry, Yeet: Step & Cousin EditionNew glossary entries: fincest, faux-cest, incest light, and vigilantism (not vigilante)Who this book is actually for: anyone processing religious traumaMoisture Meter: 💧 / Spice: 🌶️½ Spoilers always.

    S2 - EP 15 The Deal - College Boys Don't F*ck Like That

    Lace up, freaky little strumpets, because we're going back to college and not all of us survived the reunion. This week it's The Deal by Elle Kennedy: a tutoring arrangement, a hockey captain with walls, and a slow burn Elisa loved so much she read it twice. We get into puck bunny etymology, Lindsay's highlighter-rage count on "stripper t**s," Jess's 30-second frat boy, and a lick that somehow ends in a cannibalism rabbit hole. We also hold a very honest vote on the Prime Video adaptation. Grab your drink, get comfortable, and meet us Between the Folds.

    S2 - Ep. 14 Yummy Cummy Gummy — The "Barbie Movie of Smut"

    The gummy bears are alive, the government banned vibrators, and Lindsay is not okay. This week the girls crack open Yummy Cummy Gummy by Samantha Peacock — a 75-page fever dream where a dystopian sex-toy ban gets undone by a telepathic, consent-obsessed Haribo daddy and his rainbow crew. We're talking candy kinks, a "sugar-coated slap of destiny," TSA vibrator confessions, a real Texas obscenity law, and the group's official ruling on whether this book is horny or just hilarious (spoiler: hilarious). Grab a jelly bean, hydrate, and meet us Between the Folds. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    Ep. 13 - Pounded by Produce: Bless Me Father, For I Have Cucumbered

    Strap in freaky little strumpets because this week we are going to church and absolutely nobody is getting saved. Pounded by Produce by G.M. Fairy answers the question no one asked — what if Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber were secretly-in-love Catholic priests who get cursed by an angel-witch to turn into actual produce, and then a woman rubs them all over her body until everyone finds God? We discuss the confessional scene that had all three of us on our knees, Jess's first five-star read of 2026 being about cucumber f*cking, Elisa's firm stance that gourds look like they have gonorrhea, which produce we'd each grab from our own fridges in a pinch, Lindsay's grape-based OnlyFans venture that no one asked for, a Japanese man who crushed 78 walnuts with his butt cheeks in 30 seconds, and the Cucumber Cleanse of 2017 that healthcare providers would like you to forget. Lusty Lieutenant Lindsay leads the charge this week and she came prepared — she's been training for this since she lip-synced Silly Songs with Larry in front of her entire middle school. Spoilers always. Judgment never. Veggies can't sin.

    Ep. 12 - Alien Quarantine Rescue: Glitter Cum, Subway Sandwich Balls, and the Sleepgasm We Deserved

    Buckle up freaky little strumpets because this week we are leaving the atmosphere and none of us are coming back the same. Alien Quarantine Rescue by Robin Lovett asks the important question — what if the pandemic had been solved by a naked alien with a shiny vibrating dick and testicles the size of a Subway footlong crashing into your backyard? We discuss the glitter cum, the physics defying anatomy, the sleepgasm Lindsay had the morning of recording, Jess's scientific research into exactly how long twelve inch testicles would actually be, and whether Pfizer missed a critical opportunity. Written during 2020 and somehow more plausible than whatever else was happening that year. Janitor of Joyful Orifices Jess leads the charge this week and she came prepared. Spoilers always. Judgment never. Science always.

    Ep. 11: Pucking Wild: Reverse Age Gap, Forward Pegging, and a Slow Burn That Almost Killed Us

    This week on Between the Folds, your three favorite freaky little strumpets are lacing up their skates for Pucking Wild by Emily Rath — book two in the Jacksonville Rays series. A 33-year-old attorney, a 22-year-old hockey boy with surprising emotional range, and one morally bankrupt ex-husband who refuses to sign the damn papers walk into a reverse age gap romance... and it's practically a Hallmark movie. With pegging. We've got feelings about the slow burn (too slow), the character inconsistency (too much), and the butt plug scene (just right). Also: a full education on spit roasting, the Eiffel Tower, and strapless strap-ons, courtesy of Elisa's Half-Cocked Internet Research. Plus Jess has a divorce-era personal breakthrough, Lindsay is firmly Team Jake, and we all agree: puppy and ma'am are NOT sexy pet names. Buckle up, strumpets.

    Ep. 10 - When Your Stalker Brings Snacks: Lights Out Book Review

    This week, the Between the Folds crew dives into Navesa Allen's "Lights Out," a stalker romance that's equal parts steamy and surprisingly wholesome. Join Jess, Lindsay, and Elisa as they unpack the story of Josh, a reclusive cyber genius with a TikTok mask account, and Ally, a trauma nurse who accidentally falls for her ex's masked roommate. But the real star of this episode? Narrator Jacob Morgan's voice, which has the hosts completely hypnotized. Seriously, they mention him approximately 47 times (yes, we counted). The conversation covers everything from consent in stalker romances to the logistics of having nipples for teeth, plus a deep dive into why this "soft-core stalking" left them divided. Lindsay wanted it darker, Jess was completely satisfied, and Elisa... well, she DNF'd it the first time but came back for the woods scene. Expect hilarious debates about mask kinks, passive-aggressive Minnesota nice, the appeal of micro-penises versus lisps, and whether you'd rather change sexes every time you sneeze. Plus, the hosts share their most re-readable scenes, discuss vicarious trauma representation, and explain why mob plotlines can sometimes kill the mood. Fair warning: this episode contains excessive narrator thirst, Twilight comparisons that may hurt your feelings, and the revelation that the sexy baker guy has ruined us all.
