Red Flag Readers is the podcast for readers who know the best fictional men are the ones we’d absolutely run from in real life. 🚩📚 Three women. Too many books. Questionable fictional crushes. And absolutely no judgment. We dive into romantasy, dark romance, indie authors, and new releases, talking tropes, plot twists, spice, morally gray characters, red flags, and the moments that make us whisper, “Girl… you should probably leave.” Whether you’re obsessed with enemies-to-lovers, desperate for your next morally questionable book boyfriend, or looking for your next indie gem, Red Flag Readers is your place to gush, rant, laugh, and unapologetically love the books that make you question your standards. Red flags in life are warnings. Red flags in books are recommendations. 📖🚩

    The Heartstring Duet by Liv Zander

    Welcome to the first episode of Red Flag Readers, where the books are spicy, the morals are gray, and the red flags are somehow our favorite color. 🚩 This week, we dive headfirst into Liv Zander’s Heartstring Duet, Crown Me and Crown Me Yours—a dark gothic fantasy romance packed with rot, curses, manipulation, morally questionable characters, and one seriously complicated love story. We break down our star and spice ratings, favorite scenes, the characters we love to hate (and maybe hate to love), and the BIG red flags. Then we get into the emotional devastation at the heart of the story: love, loss, mortality, vulnerability, and whether loving someone is worth the pain of eventually losing them. ⚠️ Major spoilers ahead! If you haven't read the Heartstring Duet yet, read it first—we're not holding back. Plus, we spotlight several incredible indie authors and announce a giveaway!
