Summary
We’ve come so far from our first episode, and yet we’re still talking about teen vampires with Carrie. Unfortunately, we’re still out of Stephenie Meyer content so we had to read Crush by Tracy Wolff. If the cliffhanger ending of Crave left you wondering how Grace was going to turn back into a human after getting stuck as a gargoyle…well, this won’t help. Thanks for keeping us running for almost 250 episodes!
Readers advisory: Here.
Announcement: RSVP for our live show at Porter Square Books Boston on Tuesday, September 17th at 6pm!
Footnotes: Redditors on Crave
“The Tinder-Box” by Hans Christian Andersen
Coming up next: House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas.
