Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, Savage Fae (Book 2), Chapters 1-13, PART 1

“Dont touch her. She’s mine.” - Mr “Pain and Lust” himself, Ryder Draconis Welcome back to episode 24 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’ll 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 1 through 13 of Savage Fae, book 2 of Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, where the stakes are rising every day on the quest to solving Gareth’s murder. This weeks’ coverage will be split into two parts. Part 1 includes a deep-dive recap of chapters 1-7. Part 2 will cover chapters 8-13, world building, prophecy updates, and the Whimsy and Spice Report. On this episode we discuss: - Josie’s many, many hobbies, including her upcoming derby (in her Lisa Frank inspired car) - Josie and Madeline’s current reads, including Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas, Nocticadia by Keri Lake, Local Heavens by K.M. Fajardo, and more - Gabriel’s brave rescue goes downhill quickly when he makes one too many assumptions about our girl’s choices - Elise finds herself in a Lunar Brotherhood gang bar with Alestria’s scariest gang members - Ryder to the rescue!!!! - Leo the Lion tries really, really hard to be useful and helpful (but like, not at making sandwiches, okay) - Old Sal is surprised Gareth has still been able to make his payments - Elise finds Gareth’s old burner phone and new suspicions arise about Gabriel’s possible involvement in her brother’s death - Josie’s current f\*\*k f\*\*ck, marry, k\*\*l list We want to hear your thoughts, feelings, opinions, and predictions!
