Summary: Make sure you keep the volume on this episode down so as not to disturb your neighbors! Today, Holly and Devin dive into the wonderful world of apartment buildings. They discuss how stacking people like blocks in a single building can facilitate both a lust for blood as well as good old fashioned lust. Whether you've always lived in a single family home and have only seen apartments in shows like Friends or you're listening to this from an apartment right now, our hosts have got what you need to explore this living situation!  Topics Discussed: The Dagger (5:31): Holly discussed Lock Every Door by Riley Sager, a thriller following Jules Larsen - a recently unemployed, heartbroken 25-year-old in desperate need of monday. When offered, she jumps at a high-paying job to apartment-sit at The Bartholomew, an exclusive, elite Gothic-style Manhattan apartment building. The rules of her stay are strange, but Jules shakes it off…until a fellow apartment sitter, Ingrid, disappears. Holly's key takeaways were: The Bartholomew is inspired by real-life historic buildings in NYC. Its creepy, opulent design creates a claustrophobic atmosphere that mirrors traditional haunted house stories while the brooding atmosphere, secretive residents, and eerie silence create a modern gothic mood that amplifies the creepiness of the plot. Jules is uncertain whom to trust, and her increasing paranoia drives much of the suspense, keeping readers questioning what's real and who's dangerous. The story follows her as she navigates fear, gaslighting, and manipulation - ultimately reclaiming power through courage and tenacity. With the desperate and financially strapped Jules staying in an apartment building designed for the wealthy elite, the novel explores how financial insecurity can make people vulnerable to exploitation—highlighting the stark contrast between the wealthy and the desperate. The Heart (15:26): Devin discussed Lease on Love by Falon Ballard, a romance following Sadie Green - a sharp, ambitious woman who has just thrown her finance career out the window with a single outburst. With her career thrown in a blender and her housing situation dire, she drinks away her sorrows and browses roommate listings which lands her an appointment for what she thinks is a spare bedroom. She meets Jack Thomas who offers her the entire first floor of his spacious and beautiful Brooklyn Brownstone for a fraction of what he could charge. From there, Sadie and Jack both work on rebuilding - both themselves and their lives. Devin's key takeaways were: The apartment—this big, cozy Brooklyn brownstone—is practically a third main character. It becomes a safe haven for both Sadie and Jack. It's not just a setting, but the space that allows them to let their guards down and build something real. Both Sadie and Jack are at emotional crossroads, and their relationship becomes a soft space to land. The story leans into themes of trust, grief, and rediscovering purpose—not just in love or their respective careers but in self-worth and their personhood. Beyond the romance, Lease on Love is a celebration of strong friendships and emotional community as people navigate the rough waters of their 20s. Sadie's friend group and Jack's quiet generosity show that love can be a team sport and vulnerability and collaboration pave the way to happiness. Hot On the Shelf (33:35): Devin: Just Playing House by Farah Heron Holly: Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor What's Making Our Hearts Race (37:33): Devin: A new candle warmer!  Holly: Love on the Spectrum Season 3   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Soneela Nankani gives a magnificent performance of Farah Heron's lively and heartwarming second-chance romance. AudioFile's Emily Connelly and host Jo Reed first discuss their shared love of KAMILA KNOWS BEST, the story where we first meet an ill-fated couple, Jana and Anil. Now it's five years later, and Jana is a single mother of 4-year-old Imani. She's been cautious about dating ever since her brief fling with Anil, Imani's father. Now Anil, Jana, and Imani are all invited to a two-week destination wedding and safari in Tanzania, and suddenly they are spending more time together as a family—and old feelings return. Listeners will vividly imagine Tanzania's sights, sounds, and especially its tastes, all wonderfully evoked by Nankani. This relatable romance is a listening treat.

The remarkably talented Golden Voice narrator Soneela Nankani performs Farah Heron's feel-good romance flawlessly. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss the fun of listening to Heron's contemporary take on Austen's EMMA, set in Toronto. Kamila Hussain is living the perfect life, with friends, family, a career she loves, Bollywood movie nights, and a longtime friend and brother-in-law, Rohan Nasser, who is always there by her side. She's also a matchmaking whiz (or so she thinks) who hasn't found her own ideal match and is fine with that. But why is she suddenly so aware of Rohan's forearms? Nankani is a wizard at producing emotive character voices that sound authentic and distinct. This is the perfect pairing of author and narrator, and a friends-to-lovers romance not to miss.

This episode covers Kamila Knows Best by Farah Heron. The Modern Jane Austen retelling of Emma takes on a fun South Asian experience and story.  Kamila Hussain's life might not be perfect, but, whew, it's close. She lives a life of comfort, filled with her elaborate Bollywood movie parties, a dog with more Instagram followers than most reality stars, a job she loves, and an endless array of friends who clearly need her help finding love. In fact, Kamila is so busy with her friends' love lives, she's hardly given any thought to her own . . . Fortunately, Kamila has Rohan Nasser. A longtime friend of the family, he's hugely successful, with the deliciously lean, firm body of a rock climber. Only lately, Kamila's “harmless flirting” with Rohan is making her insides do a little bhangra dance. But between planning the local shelter's puppy prom, throwing a huge work event, and proving to everyone that she's got it all figured out, Kamila isn't letting herself get distracted—until her secret nemesis returns to town with an eye for Rohan. Suddenly, it seems like the more Kamila tries to plan, the more things are starting to unravel—and her perfectly ordered life is about to be turned upside down.

Farah stops by with a Starry Fuzzy Fizz (that includes a spiced simple syrup you're going to want to drink with everything) to discuss her new rom com - KAMILA KNOWS BEST. An Emma retelling with absolutely tons of bittersweet energy - and a dog prom. So, it covers all the bases. We talk about what she's learned on this her fourth published novel and how she manages several plot threads with HUGE pay offs.

This week on Erotic Nonsense Kendra and Lauren read Tahira in Bloom by Farah Heron and A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane.

I was honored to be invited to sit down with Farah Heron to discuss her newest release, Kamila Knows Best! From the story being a contemporary retelling of Emma by Jane Austen to how diverse characters don't need to live in a world of adversity, we discuss it all! I loved discussing the heavier topics while also discussing puppies, biryani parties, and how women who are seen as vapid because they take extra time with their appearance or want to host parties doesn't mean they don't have added depth. Kamila Knows best is available for preorder and is set to be released on March 8th! This episode is sponsored by Audible! Follow this link to get a free 30-day trial for Audible.

After a childhood raised on Bollywood, Monty Python, and Jane Austen, Farah Heron wove complicated story arcs and uplifting happily ever afters in her daydreams while pursuing careers in human resources and psychology. She started writing those stories down a few years ago, and never looked back. She writes romantic comedies and women's fiction full of huge South Asian families, delectable food, and most importantly, brown people falling stupidly in love. She lives in Toronto with her husband, two children, and a rabbit named Strawberry. She recently adopted two cats, who are now in charge.⠀Get to know her with #11Questions!
