[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the Mom's A Read podcast, I'm McKinsey and I'm Kaylee and today we're going to be talking about the Wolf King, which is our book club book that we changed it to because we didn't want to read for us to, and then I think I started from stone three weeks ago and I went out for five and I've read two books, all my condolences and have continuously only listen to audiobooks because our reviews.
0:34
[SPEAKER_00]: to do it like I can't get into it.
0:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't get into it.
0:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I genuinely don't know what it is about brimstone that is making me just not want to read it.
0:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I downloaded it on my candle and I just stared at it and I was like I truly do not want to read this.
0:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to read the wolf kinks and see the kids eat it.
0:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I started reading my physical copy and I was like who am I kidding?
0:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be here for three years and let me go on to my Kindle and that has not helped.
1:02
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so much happening right now and I'm 30 pages in.
1:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I really need y'all to go in our Instagram comments and just like make us read this because we've moved.
1:15
[SPEAKER_00]: moved it to our January book club, so we're reading it this month, maybe.
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: But this right in my view, you know, you know, I don't know.
1:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Nothing about it is making me eager to jump on that.
1:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and you know,
1:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's fine.
1:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It's fine.
1:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I texted Kaylee and I was like, you have to read Wolfking like I read it in two days.
1:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I read the first like 25% and then I ended up doing something and I couldn't sit down to finish it in the next day.
1:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I sat down and for however many hours that I took and I finished the rest of the book because I was that invested now.
1:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I literally started out my way home from the beach finished at that night.
1:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I read it in one day.
1:57
[SPEAKER_00]: It was so good.
1:58
[SPEAKER_00]: One whole day, it was.
2:01
[SPEAKER_00]: But before we get into that bug, we're going to do recent rains.
2:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I am listening to the remains situation back in Bailey.
2:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that one.
2:10
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good.
2:11
[SPEAKER_00]: It's super short if you want a quick read.
2:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, Bailey is she's a closed or romance writer and it's fantastic.
2:18
[SPEAKER_00]: This is this girl who leaves New York because she had
2:24
[SPEAKER_00]: goes back to Atlanta to move in with her brother who happens to be on a town but didn't tell her that he has a new roommate.
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: And so she's been at the roommates or like at the house with the roommate.
2:35
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I kind of reminds me of?
2:36
[SPEAKER_00]: What?
2:37
[SPEAKER_00]: The temporary roomy from Sarah Adams.
2:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I have a lot of them.
2:41
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very similar.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay, because it's a brother and then she moves in with her brother and then she ends up having a crush on her brother's best friend.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is, yeah, very similar.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, very similar.
2:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good.
2:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you've read the temporary roomy, you'll probably like this one.
2:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I am currently starting the second book in this series, so if you can series the night prints, so I'm trying to decide what I want to do that because I Got some my TBR stresses me out like they're all these things that I want to read so bad, and I don't even know what to do next
3:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I plan it out.
3:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm reading the night prints on my way to Nashville tomorrow.
3:21
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a good idea.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because I'm finishing up in your dreams because we're going to see Sarah Adams finishing up in your dreams audio today while I pack in stuff.
3:29
[SPEAKER_00]: That way tomorrow I can just start the night prints and I feel like with me going back to school.
3:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm losing my like ability to sit and binge read.
3:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, so it'll go back to audio books.
3:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to say something about audio.
3:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
3:43
[SPEAKER_00]: One about a song, Heartless Hunter.
3:45
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm going to do it bring me back because of Bookloam.
3:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
3:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but that was only eight hours.
3:49
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll take me two days of driving.
3:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
3:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Two days of driving.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is sad.
3:53
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe three days of driving.
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so if you can't tell, the Wolf King was an easy five star.
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, easily and even like sitting on it and coming back, five stars.
4:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, easy five stars.
4:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It took honestly a lot of different plot points and like things that you love from other fantasy books and match them into one.
4:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: with a touch of amaranaries correct and okay so let's just go ahead and say spoilers stop here if you have not listened to or read this book we're gonna get into some stuff that's gonna discuss like parts of the next book or what we think is gonna happen um it's a love triangle but right and like you don't expect it to be a love triangle yeah
4:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I fell in love with Calam immediately and like right when I first started reading this I was like, oh, Calam is that right I typically don't love love triangles either.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't either.
4:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't and so I thought that Calam was you know.
4:54
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the minute like I had one scene where she was sitting at the alpha's table and Blake like winked at her and I'm like, oh wait, maybe he's not okay.
5:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he's not like few like the interactions that they've had.
5:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, this can't just be like this can't just be
5:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Blake.
5:15
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I, like, oh, Blake.
5:18
[SPEAKER_00]: But like once that started happening, I immediately texted McKenzie because she read it before me.
5:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, am I getting tanland?
5:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I getting tanland?
5:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And see, we don't know because we haven't read this again.
5:27
[SPEAKER_00]: But like, isn't just a lot triangle or is how I'm going to do something wrong?
5:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I legitimately started hating Calum immediately when Blake came in because I was like, I refused to be tanland again.
5:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I refuse to be Tamland again.
5:41
[SPEAKER_00]: So no, and he's blonde.
5:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm just literally like, no, there's something wrong with him.
5:47
[SPEAKER_00]: We just haven't found it yet.
5:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, there has to be because he won.
5:51
[SPEAKER_00]: He has everything working against him.
5:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He was the one who found her in Rescutor.
5:54
[SPEAKER_00]: One, two, he was the first love interest and there's a bad boy.
6:00
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not the bad boy.
6:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
6:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Three, he's blonde.
6:04
[SPEAKER_00]: and bonds.
6:05
[SPEAKER_00]: We all know how that works in the fantasy.
6:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And he might not be because Rowan, Rowan is the exception.
6:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
6:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know, he might not be.
6:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But I refuse to let my guard down because I'm not getting template again.
6:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I just,
6:19
[SPEAKER_00]: from what I've like watched on TikTok and stuff of people who were like team column team like like yeah I don't even know if at the end of the second book if there is like a clear yeah oh he did something horrible kind of thing other than just like you end up we we barely are gonna end up liking but like more
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if we're all in the same page as all the other book talk girlies like it's hard to them.
6:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like because he's the villain that everybody loves.
6:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
6:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Well toward the end of the book like I started liking like a lot and I think it was like after the ball that they had where she and Blake danced that like whatever highland, whatever dance they would from where they were the
7:04
[SPEAKER_00]: dance.
7:05
[SPEAKER_00]: There was only ones that knew it.
7:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It gave me the founders they ball from Vampire Diaries where Damon came and like took her hand and they did the dance together and that was like the moment she started falling in love with him.
7:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
7:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a avid vampire diaries, like a lover.
7:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So that is probably why I, and I was really thinking this was Tameline and Reason until I got to that point, I'm like, no.
7:31
[SPEAKER_00]: This is Stephanie Damon.
7:33
[SPEAKER_00]: This is Stephanie Damon.
7:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't watched it as much as you have, but I can see where there's gonna be.
7:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, there was some things that like, like, did now.
7:45
[SPEAKER_00]: based on what we've only read in the first book, was it selfish of Blake to do what he did in all of those things like as he's setting it up to protect himself?
7:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
7:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And I wonder if along the line if he's gonna end up like developing feelings for her.
7:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
8:00
[SPEAKER_00]: So at the end, he saves, what's her name?
8:07
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... rora the girl's name uh... rora yeah he says a rora uh... from basically dying when she got bit and tether's basically his life to hers so that way calum can't hurt him because i mean a rora knows uh... which a rora's a little sneaky one too because she hasn't told um... calum nothing that she knows about like no and so that is a little sus also
8:34
[SPEAKER_00]: But it made me think of like the sire bond between Damon and Elena whenever he's the one who like I think it was his blood or something that turned her and they developed a sire bond.
8:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So I wonder if it's going to be another situation like that to where the bond is what makes them Like each other more, but obviously the bond is going to make them
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: because they're in tune to each other's feelings like and feel each other's feelings and intentions agree.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And she can tell when he's lying and she has a jacked Italy squad.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I am like,
9:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Calum can't hurt Blake anymore.
9:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Nope.
9:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And he, they both have to protect Aurora and Blake, because if Blake gets hurt, then Aurora gets hurt.
9:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I just is she going to be able to move past like the choices that he's made to protect himself, like in whatever forms between them.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
9:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
9:30
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not like Sebastian obviously.
9:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that whole thing.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh, what is happening right now?
9:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And I, I
9:39
[SPEAKER_00]: really enjoyed the fact that it did take me a second to figure out if they were actually wolves or if they were people like that is I was like wait are they will form or are they in people form but I didn't know if I didn't act yes I think they were in people form form because of the curse yeah like they can only shift on a full moon and I really liked that like the whole backstory of why they're cursed and like what happens I think there's going to be
10:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I definitely was a little confused in the beginning, because of the lingers.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, what the freak is on his last?
10:16
[SPEAKER_00]: The Bonnie last?
10:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she's never watched all night or?
10:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: So I immediately was like, oh, we in Scotland.
10:22
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I didn't.
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I heard on TikTok like a snippet of his voice, and I'm like, is he Scottish?
10:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Very cute.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're going to kill and I love the politics like all the different, like, leaders of the different clans like within the Wolf King Dumb, um, that, that.
10:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I was really getting annoyed at the end, Erton, well, whenever they were talking, and it was like, happy lame with him.
10:50
[SPEAKER_00]: She who lies with a beast, blah, blah, blah, blah, and I'm like, why is everything about lame with a man?
10:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything was not lame with a man.
10:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Because also, like, I think just because of how it was talking about the whole thing between her and Sebastian, like her having to be pure.
11:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I guess that was a lot to do with the world that they were living in.
11:08
[SPEAKER_00]: like women were supposed to be untouched when they were to be married.
11:13
[SPEAKER_00]: That will insane wild.
11:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the whole five scene at the very end with Sebastian coming back and then like tricking and then cowlombs brother.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Like do we think he's the real villain here?
11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
11:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I guess I accidentally saw a spoiler.
11:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't tell me it's not a big spoiler.
11:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
11:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not it doesn't I don't think it has anything Okay, I just hear 100% is giving bad guy vibes because he's the one who bit her and like You treat her her wolf and from what I saw if you bite somebody and like I think if you like bite them in trigger They're wolf you have claimed to them so he's like I want what's mine?
11:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah
11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know what's going to happen with all that, but I'm interested to see what happens with all that, okay?
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know how that's going to go down.
12:03
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't either.
12:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I was confused, because at 10% in, um, whenever she like, it said his palm is warm and rough as his fingers curl against mine, sealing my fate.
12:15
[SPEAKER_00]: It's only then that a flicker of confusion crosses his face, perhaps I imagined it because a moment later, he gives me a small smile.
12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, let me guess their mates with him at her and calm, because I'm like, why did a flicker of confusion crosses face, like,
12:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was at 10%.
12:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that after he had broken her out.
12:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was like when he was breaking her out.
12:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So he kind of just been confused to like, why she's doing it.
12:44
[SPEAKER_00]: But my guards out there.
12:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, hmm.
12:47
[SPEAKER_00]: But obviously, I don't think I can go and do a distrusting the man.
12:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't like him.
12:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very, very good at it.
12:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I'm team count.
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm obviously team boss.
12:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pleased to tell you how you said that.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I literally, so the castle's name is that where Calam is from like, yeah, I don't know.
13:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I highlighted it because I was like, what, how are you even say this?
13:13
[SPEAKER_00]: M-m-a-d-d-a-d-a-d-a-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-
13:27
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I was also confused because I was wondering if these were wolves had like other like the alphas had like other special powers because I also put an note like can he read her mind because in the kennel he got her attention away whenever she was thinking something and then whenever they were leaving she was second guessing it in her mind and he said no time for
13:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, she didn't say anything aloud both times and both times I picked up that he like answered her Without her saying anything out loud.
14:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm curious if in the second book There's gonna be something more about like alphas in there and like special powers, bro.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Blake's a healer.
14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's true.
14:15
[SPEAKER_00]: So like I don't know if Kalim maybe has something that Hasn't been mentioned is that from his wolf thought I think so okay
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I think there were multiple instances and I can't remember like, if they were intentionally done, but remember when Calam left and she woke up and didn't know where he was and then he said, she said, you wrote me a note and then he said, before you left, like,
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: He apparently wrote a note because now I'm like, what if he never actually wrote a note?
14:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Because at first I was like, wait, maybe Blake took it to, like, set his up.
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it Blake?
14:57
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the girl.
14:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw it.
14:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw it.
15:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I will.
15:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw it.
15:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
15:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it was I saw it.
15:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
15:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
15:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Because she took her medallion.
15:08
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he had given it to her to give,
15:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Right and Jamie was like well, what if he didn't even leave her note to begin with I think he did.
15:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like before like setting this man up to be sketchy I think he did.
15:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think that it would like I'm getting I'm getting villain vibes from
15:29
[SPEAKER_00]: calms brother because he was really upset with Ray when she turned his marriage proposal down, which I thought was wild and out of pocket.
15:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, what is this man doing?
15:40
[SPEAKER_00]: That was giving fearless, right?
15:43
[SPEAKER_00]: That was giving fearless.
15:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
15:44
[SPEAKER_00]: There's 70 books I've seen, like I'm getting from from this book, but like it's not copying.
15:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I don't feel like it's
15:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Tameline Emory saying, Fearless, it was giving me a court that's cool and lovely in the beginning when they were on the horse and like the camping and all of that.
16:03
[SPEAKER_00]: That whole thing was giving me the first book in a court that's cool and lovely.
16:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought one part that was so fun was the callers.
16:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I had never heard of anything like that before.
16:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked that and I thought that it was wild the sheep and on Blake's collar.
16:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I
16:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Me too, I was like, girl, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
16:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm getting like a pushing a pull from him and I don't really, it's literally Damon's half-door and literally his or he's bad, but bad for a good reason and good for her.
16:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Where Stephens liked the good stepping, Stephens liked, and like, how long seems like a decent stepping stone?
16:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a good first in many ways.
17:03
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what's very true.
17:05
[SPEAKER_00]: But I still, my arms sucks about him.
17:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm, he's going to be bad neither the second half of the third book.
17:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm calling it now.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way he remains good throughout this whole entire book.
17:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it is a trilogy.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So the book that I just picked up in Target was a re-release of it.
17:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And it came out in November.
17:22
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the night parenthesis supposed to be re-released February 3rd.
17:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So there must have been Andy published and now they're being
17:33
[SPEAKER_00]: This is not loading so excited.
17:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the last one is supposed to come out this summer, but I haven't seen anything.
17:40
[SPEAKER_00]: I haven't either about it from her, but that doesn't mean that it's not a thing.
17:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I was trying to pull up like her webpage.
17:53
[SPEAKER_00]: But so what are your predictions for book two?
17:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
17:57
[SPEAKER_00]: It's already out.
18:00
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean obviously I think her and Blake obviously had to spend more time together.
18:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I am curious though because like it said whenever it was the full moon and she got out and she was like Blake was trying to kill me and he was like no he is protecting you he covered you with his scent and all of that and it said that Blake doesn't do anything unless it's of his own interest so I want to know why he does that and I'm like I want to know why that too because
18:28
[SPEAKER_00]: that's curious unless this is like another uh what is it like shield of spares moment where he knows something about her or that nobody else knows right and like maybe she's like a lost princess or like
18:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I know she's already a princess with, but like on the wool side, it seems to have ties because at the end it said that her mom died because the dad was feeding her wool spane.
18:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
18:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was she will feed wool spane, wool spane too.
19:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
19:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I wonder, like, what clan her mom's from?
19:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, if we find that I've been a higher clan for a royal to have married her.
19:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
19:10
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm curious to know if she has like,
19:14
[SPEAKER_00]: some background that's important in the wolf world that we don't know about, but Blake knows about.
19:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, she has to.
19:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, she has to.
19:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Of some sort.
19:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, what if she comes from Blake's land?
19:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you wild?
19:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you a wild turn of event?
19:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be wild.
19:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, I think it's going to be about becoming the king or queen of the wolves.
19:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that there's going to be a lot.
19:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there's going to be some challenging with Calam's brother.
19:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I think.
19:43
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we're going to be very surprised.
19:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, whenever he put the collar around her neck and I put fingertips like fingertips.
19:55
[SPEAKER_00]: We love that.
19:57
[SPEAKER_00]: She was really the kind of annoying me whenever
20:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Calam would come on to her and she'd entertain it and then he'd pull away a little bit she like I am the princess of the highlands Right don't come at me like that and I like girl She wasn't like my favorite in him.
20:16
[SPEAKER_00]: She wasn't bad, but she wasn't my favorite now I will say that like Wasn't she like tortured by her father?
20:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she was tortured by like a priest or something in the beginning.
20:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
20:29
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have much to leave.
20:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't get much backstory on that because they were trying to bleed her dry of her sickness or whatever because of the wolf.
20:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
20:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Put it into submission.
20:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Which it did get put into submission.
20:41
[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, I wonder if that's going to come into play in the next book.
20:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Like a little bit more of her backstory surely.
20:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, foreshadowing to book two, whenever she killed Sebastian, which fingertips on that girl, that was a moment.
20:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
20:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, whenever she killed Sebastian, he said, you stupid.
21:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
21:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you'll never know the truth.
21:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Night is spreading and it will take you all.
21:07
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, okay, night is spreading.
21:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder, oh, because I mean, the second book is called the night prints.
21:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, so what I've placed in the nightbrings, because he's dark, but the wolf king is not Calamates his brother, right, what if there's something else entirely that correct?
21:29
[SPEAKER_00]: So I wonder why it's called the Wolf King though.
21:32
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know because she's she doesn't end up with him The Wolf King.
21:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're trying to be the Wolf King like Blake is trying to be the Wolf King.
21:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and Calam So if he was a prince that would make sense If he was Hmm I don't know I don't know either that that that's that's interesting to me Composing me
22:00
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so good.
22:02
[SPEAKER_00]: If you haven't read it, I mean, obviously if you're here, you've read it, but fantastic.
22:07
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll have to let us know if you've read the night prints.
22:10
[SPEAKER_00]: And if any of our questions have been answered.
22:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and I was also, uh, whenever, um, Sebastian brought the heart of the moon.
22:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I was curious and like I put it down Because they were like did he really Give away the heart of the man which I don't think Sebastian was dumb enough to do that because he obviously had to know what that was But then I was like well, can a person be the heart of the man?
22:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if so they seemed to be able to shift with Aurora around so I wonder if like who she is had anything to do with Right, I don't know because like
22:54
[SPEAKER_00]: That, that was a question I had and I don't know, what if Calam knows that she is and that's why he took her.
23:02
[SPEAKER_00]: What if he knows that she is?
23:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Because Calam you dirty dog because he took, he came there to get the heart of the moon.
23:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Calam you dirty dog, I knew I didn't like you.
23:16
[SPEAKER_00]: That would make sense.
23:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And why she was such an inner role part and maybe why Calam's brother was wanting to marry her.
23:24
[SPEAKER_00]: But I wonder if that's why Blake did the bond on purpose.
23:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So Calam couldn't have it.
23:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
23:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Gosh, I have 70 thoughts.
23:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I have so many thoughts on this.
23:38
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess we're only solution is to just read the second book.
23:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I reckon.
23:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess you should do that.
23:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Since it's already out.
23:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably gonna leave us when just as many questions are.
23:48
[SPEAKER_00]: It is and I really need this third book to come out this summer so I can have my questions answered.
23:54
[SPEAKER_00]: and I'm saying yeah agreed well did you have a one story before i did i found one too i there were a lot of people saying that like it was not well written and blah blah blah i was not the truth not the truth i thought it was so well written it was so easy to read but there was not very many once our abuse anyways no honestly i want to punch the FMC the MMC and myself for even picking it up in the first place since i don't
24:24
[SPEAKER_00]: rude because I loved it and it actually is a really good rating on good reads.
24:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a four point like one five or something It's a four point.
24:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, one four and it has 120,000 reviews are ratings which it was really good.
24:43
[SPEAKER_00]: It fantastic.
24:44
[SPEAKER_00]: It honestly shocked me how much I liked it So it was probably like my biggest shocker because I like went into it.
24:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd been seeing it and I just
24:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Toward out.
24:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
24:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Aurora is caught between powerful alphas as they fight for the wolf throne.
24:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so they are fighting for the third.
25:01
[SPEAKER_00]: But darker forces are rising.
25:03
[SPEAKER_00]: The highly anticipated sequel.
25:06
[SPEAKER_00]: But with his so Aurora may have survived the wolf king but his bite marks her skin and in accordance with wolf wall that makes her his property.
25:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Now he wants her back to be him and take this throne Aurora and Calum.
25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Most form a dangerous alliance with one of the most
25:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, can Blake just not bite her and then claim her, too?
25:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, this is going to be good.
25:27
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, TBR jar.
25:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Kaylee has a confession to make.
25:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not already mention.
25:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I forgot about it until like literally when we sat down to film.
25:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh my gosh, I did not remitereple.
25:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I love that for her because it's usually me.
25:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my mind.
25:45
[SPEAKER_00]: It was just been a long because I've heard only like two of my winter TBR books right now So she's read like six.
25:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, so well, I have to read it anyway for our in-person book club So I'll read it at some point today.
25:57
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not that day
25:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I read, but trim block bird, I just, I have not in to dark romance.
26:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't so like, I like thriller romance, but not the other way around.
26:12
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, and like, I mean, it's a suspense.
26:16
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't like dark novels, I don't.
26:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I can find something different than like serial killers,
26:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe.
26:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know there.
26:25
[SPEAKER_00]: If you call any ricks, let me know.
26:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, because she has not liked lines out or a button I've Blackbird and I don't know what else to read because that's all I got.
26:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, so I've read.
26:34
[SPEAKER_00]: I listened to both of those.
26:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I listened to Butcher and Blackbird and literally when she read the trigger warnings.
26:41
[SPEAKER_00]: You just got to skip past that thing.
26:42
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, you kind of skip past it.
26:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you get the ice cream?
26:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it did not slap me in the face.
26:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I had already read that part after you told me that, and I was like, what's happening?
26:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I was like, oh, I know.
26:57
[SPEAKER_00]: That's disgusting.
26:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It's disgusting.
27:01
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think because I was so, I had to like turn my brain off while listen to it that I couldn't be reacting to everything that was talking talked about because with the maggots in the first five minutes, I was like, how did we sick?
27:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are we talking about these as rice?
27:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just, it was not me.
27:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Fine, it's fine.

27:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually so nervous.
27:43

28:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to see if it doesn't audio book.
28:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it does or not, but that one is like a small town like she moves to a small town or a back to a small town and like there's someone like stalking her and trying to hurt her but like the broody man is like nobody's gonna hurt you but then every few chapters you get a point of view from the person doing it and he's like or he or she I don't remember which one it was.
