The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Turn of the Key and In a Dark Dark Wood returns with another suspenseful thriller set on a snow-covered mountain. Getting snowed in at a beautiful, rustic mountain chalet doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world, especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a cozy fire, and company to keep you warm.

Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S28 E11: I Love Him and It Hurts

Okay, so when we left off Joey was having a panic attack because Kelsey left a note attached to his door saying they needed to talk. Well, those sneaky bastards at ABC wedged a rose ceremony into The Women Tell All episode, which I don’t usually recap because it’s basically a clip show. All you need to know is the note was drama blown out of proportion and Kelsey reassured Joey. He wound up sending Rachel home, so the finale is Daisy and Kelsey. Tonight we open “live” in a studio in LA where Jesse will inevitably tell us this will be “the most dramatic” season finale ever. Everyone take a shot ..read more

A The Scarlet Alchemist by Kylie Lee Baker October 3, 2023 · Inkyard Press Science Fiction/Fantasy I’m almost hesitant to recommend The Scarlet Alchemist, not because it’s a bad book, but because it’s a fantastic book, but the sequel doesn’t come out until (it’s estimated) October. I gobbled this book up in one sitting and now I have to sit and wait pathetically to find out what happens next.  The story is set in a version of historical China where alchemists have figured out the key to immortality. The wealthy eat a special variety of gold that the alchemists make which prevents them f ..read more

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! The Boston spring has devolved back into a Boston winter this week. Typical! I don’t really mind the cold so much; it’s the wind. The wind is so brutal sometimes. My partner recently made a Trader Joe’s run and TJs is so good for fun and interesting snacks. But I have a gripe. They’re so popular and I get very overwhelmed and overstimulated in crowded areas. I want to browse, but I feel like I cannot do that before I need to run screaming out the building. My partner’s brother works at a TJs and he’s been very helpful in giving me some ideal “down times” to try ..read more

Clockwork Boys Clockwork Boys by T. Kingfisher is $2.49 at Amazon! It’s available elsewhere, but not at the sale price. This is book one in the Clocktaur War series. We’re big Kingfisher fans at the Bitchery and I’ve seen this series recommended in the comments many times. A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. It’s not the start of a joke, but rather an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes. T. Kingfisher’s new novel begins the tale of a murderous band of criminals (and a scholar), thrown together in an attempt to unravel the secret of the Clockwork Boys, me ..read more

Vintage Cover Art Behind the Scenes with Sharon Spiak and Shirley Green

In Episode 606. Behind the Scenes of Classic Cover Art: Shirley Green and Sharon Spiak, I learned about the behind-the-scenes process of creating some of the romance covers I know very well. It was a fascinating conversation, and if you’re at all interested, there’s a transcript as well as a few pictures in the show notes. I also did a bonus episode video for the members of the podcast Patreon sharing images that Sharon and Shirley sent me, as well as a clip where they described one major photoshoot that became the stepback for the original cover Elizabeth Hoyt’s Scandalous Desires. I had ..read more

HaBO: Began in an Author’s Newsletter

This HaBO is from Layla, who wants to find this contemporary romance: I’m looking for a book that I think came out within the last two years. It’s a contemporary romance, possibly small town, and I’m pretty positive it’s on KU. I read the first chapter through the author’s newsletter but I cannot remember the author or the title and it’s driving me crazy. I’m subbed to a lot of author newsletters and I delete emails after reading so I can’t just try to find it in my archive. The main male character was coming (back?) into town and stopped at the bar where he saw the female main character who i ..read more

The Earl Not Taken The Earl Not Taken by A.S. Fenichel is $2.99! This is the first book in The Wallflowers of West Lane series and I like the cover for this one. Readers liked the heroine, but found the plot to be rather thing. Any thoughts from the Bitchery? Left standing on the side while their contemporaries marry into society, four young ladies forge a bond to guard each other from a similar fate . . . Finishing school failed to make a proper lady of Penelope Arrington. But as a Wallflower of West Lane, Poppy has a far more vital role—she and her three best friends have made a p ..read more
