    "You can call me death. And I will call you mine." When Hanna learns that her Shaman father is being held captive by Death himself, she travels to the Land of the Dead to trade her life for the release of her father. Taken to Death's castle at Shadow's End, Hanna discovers a macabre yet beautiful new world.

Hanna remains committed to her plan of freeing herself and returning to her father and her life in the Upper World. But, Death has other plans. Plans which apparently include making Hanna his wife, turning her into the new Goddess of Death. Can Hanna stick to her ruse and make Death fall in love with her or will Hanna be the one to fall right into Death's eternal embrace?

    What's the best course of action when you accidentally (sort of) awaken a two thousand year old evil deep in the jungles of South America? Probably to just forget about it and head back home where you're getting ready to start a new life with your new coven. But, it's hard to concentrate on your studies when the hot as hell primitive warrior shows up on your doorstep, claiming your his long lost wife, and seeking vengeance for the curse you (or his wife, apparently) placed upon him. Doubly hard when your a witch prone to memory loss with every spell you cast, and tripley hard when, ever since this sinful man showed up, you've been casting way more spells than usual. Let's just call it quadruply when you should hate this manipulative jerk's guts, but your loins really seem to have some other ideas...Join us for a new episode of The Sexy Scary Book Club this week while we dish Betwitched by Laura Thalassa.

    This week Lisa and Jess are getting swarthy, this week and hanging out with some sexy pirates on a High Sea adventure. We'll be discussing Stacey Marie Brown's latest release, Silver Tongued Devil where we answer the question: which pirate is more fun, Croygen or Katrina, aka 'Puss in Boots?' Also, don't mind us while we mercilessly butcher ol' C-dog's name the whole way through. Next we're discussing The Girl Who Belonged to the Sea by Katherine Quinn, where we'll travel to the magical land of Azantia and try to pretend along with Margrete Wood that she's not just instantly falling madly in love with a sexy pirate named Bash. Even if he did kind of kidnap her from her own wedding...Look, it's complicated.

I like my sexy with a side of scary.

I have always been in love with the darker side, and this of course includes my taste in books. Although horror and all sorts of tales of the macabre are my main hang, I have began to dabble in the sexier side of things, and have loved getting lost in paranormal fantasy. As a Mom of four, I NEED my escape. When I discovered this podcast, I was THRILLED. I’ve been taking Lisa and Jess’ recommendations and have enjoyed listening to them discuss books that I’ve just read. Make sure to follow them on all their socials so you can read the books and get the theme ahead of time!

Who need Oprah when you’ve got this book club?

I read a variety of genres but my favorite is fantasy romance - or let’s be real, fae smut. I was delighted to find this podcast because the hosts, Lisa & Jess are really relatable and entertaining. They cover a good variety of books as well. I enjoy hearing their thoughts on books I’ve already read and I also get some good recs for my TBR. I feel like even if we don’t always have the exact same opinions, I can always tell if I’ll like something based on Lisa & Jess’ content. Definitely check it out if you’re a fellow “fantasy” lover!
