Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, Dark Fae (Book 1), Chapters 21-41, PART 1

“What the f\*\*k just happened? Did I just enjoy getting kicked in the nuts?” - Leo the Lion after a rendezvous with his lil monster Welcome back to episode 21 of Whimsy, Spice, and Sometimes Nice, a spoiler-free, read-along romantasy podcast. Whether you're popping your cherry (gum), or an insatiable, lil monster back for seconds, you fit right in, bae. Madeline (the fan-girling, fast-talking, certified yapper) has read the whole series. And incessantly bugged Josie (the calm, cool professional hater) to start Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac. Josie will be reading in real time with you. Providing initial reactions and predictions, while Madeline serves as the guide to help point you along in the right direction.  This is a uniquely formatted bookish podcast because we wanted to create a space where you can join the conversation and get in on the action WITHOUT having to finish the book, series, or ENTIRE universe!!!!  This week, we're covering chapters 21 through 41 of Dark Fae, book 1 of Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, where tension is building between Elise and her male roomies (though Laini is proving to be helpful support!!!) This weeks’ coverage will be split into two parts. Part 1 includes a deep-dive recap of chapters 21-30. Part 2 will cover chapters 31-41, world building, Prophecy Updates, and the Whimsy and Spice Report. On this episode we discuss: - Gabriel is an asshat with an orange soda grenade - Insight on the vampire code and Professor Titan’s compassionate nature - Dante picks Elise over the Oscura Clan in a school grounds battle - Elise discovers where the secret society has been gathering on campus - Gareth gets employed by the Oscuras (thanks wheel of fortune and the fool!) and snoops in a roof nest - Ryder gets a (scary) tingle - Gabriel gets attacked by Felix and healed by Elise - Elise gets her class rank and a pat on the back We want to hear your thoughts, feelings, opinions, and predictions!
