  • Bride by Ali Hazelwood - Bookmate Besties After Dark with Alyssa King
    May 31 2026

    Hi hello Bookmates! Look at us getting an episode out on time 😬🫠🥴

    We were SO EXCITED to be joined by our lovely Bookmate Bestie, Alyssa King, host of Stories and Spoilers: A Book Podcast, for our May Book Club Selection:

    Bride by Ali Hazelwood, and first ever podcast crossover! We had such a blast having Alyssa with us!

    We love her to pieces, so do yourselves a favor and definitely check out her show too! https://open.spotify.com/show/0LjBdd5VlsUOsvSxF8NNQo

    This Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Readers' Favorite Romance (2024)
    had our opinions split a bit, but that's what makes it fun! Are you Team Alyssa & Lita or Team Tiffany on this one?? Let us know in the comments!!

    Synopsis:

    Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast—again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again...

    Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It’s clear from the way he tracks Misery’s every movement that he doesn’t trust her. If only he knew how right he was….

    Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what’s hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory…alone with the wolf.

  • Enchantra by Kaylie Smith - Bookmates After Dark
    Mar 31 2026

    Hi hello Bookmates! Officially back in the swing of things and getting back on schedule. We know we promised Winter Garden, but due to it's heavier themes, it's on the back burner for now, but we'll come back to it, we promise!

    Orignally an exclusive episode on our Patreon channel, we felt like you all deserved a freebie since we've left you hanging for a bit!

    Please enjoy our replacement March Book Club Selection:

    Enchantra by Kaylie Smith, the follow up book to Phantasma. (And if you haven't listened to that episode yet, do it first! It's in our catalogue.)

    We had a lot of fun reading and discussing this Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Readers' Favorite Romantasy (2025)

    "Ready or Not meets Throne of the Fallen in a spicy, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance, where an Italian getaway turns deadly after a young woman is trapped in her host family's cursed game."

    Synopsis:

    Ready or not, the game has begun.

    Genevieve Grimm has felt adrift ever since her sister became the head of the family. So when a mysterious friend of their mother's invites her to Italy, she accepts. She arrives at his grand palace, expecting passion and magic, decadence and luxury... perhaps even a midnight ball.

    She doesn't expect the owner's ruthlessly handsome son to slam the door in her face. Rowin Silver is tall, dark, and exceptionally rude, and invitation or not, he demands Genevieve leave and never come back. But Genevieve follows nobody's orders, especially those of arrogant rich boys. She slips inside—and immediately discovers her mistake.

    Rowin and his family are caught in an insidious game of hide and seek, where only one can win. The rest will be trapped in Hell... until the competition begins again.

    Genevieve must either join the hunt or forfeit any hope of escaping. But to her dismay, her best chance of survival lies with Rowin. Since lovers may play as a pair, Rowin and Genevieve agree to form an alliance under the guise of a fake courtship. However, as they race through the game's elaborate labyrinth, trapped among gleaming gold and shining marble, their loathing gives way to irresistible attraction. Only Rowin is keeping secrets, especially when it comes to his ruthless family, and Genevieve can't help but wonder if she's trapped in two treacherous games: Enchantra and the one Rowin is playing with her heart.
