WARNING. SPOILERS. YES, EVEN IN THIS EPISODE DESCRIPTION. YOU WERE WARNED. When you're saving the world and navigating a blooming relationship, you're bound to run into some issues. Maybe a fight regarding the safety of your partner, or maybe sending one partner into a portal into another world while you slowly get your mind erased by the evil, soul-sucking Asteri. House of Sky and Breath is the second novel of the newest Sarah J. Maas series, Crescent City Series. In this book, Bryce Quinlan and Hunt Athalar are trying to get back to normal―they may have saved Crescent City, but with so much upheaval in their lives lately, they mostly want a chance to relax. Slow down. Figure out what the future holds. As Bryce, Hunt, and their friends get pulled into the rebels' plans, the choice becomes clear: stay silent while others are oppressed, or fight for what's right. And they've never been very good at staying silent. Our SJM expert and super fan, Sierra Marshall, joins me on today's episode to once again talk about how this book was just as good, if not better, than the first in the series. In this episode we cover: How Jenna has escaped the spoiler void that is #BookTok Why SJM doesn't seem to miss, especially with this series Why lips rings are maybe the sexiest facial accessory out there thanks to Ruhn Dannan Open your book and press play on a podcast that will take plunge you into another book where angels fight on rooftops, people have sex in a mind bridge (if you know, you know), and where fae princesses are flung across the universe through a portal they opened with their powers.

Are angels sexy? If Faes and Shapeshifters had cell phones, what would they text each other? Has Jenna been living under a rock the last few years? We answer these questions and more in today's episode. House of Earth and Blood is the first novel of the newest Sarah J. Maas series, Crescent City Series. This book follows Bryce Quinlan, a beautiful half-human half-Fae who discovers a demon has murdered her closest friends. But when more similar murders start happening years later, Bryce finds herself at the heart of the investigation, paired with Hunt Athalar, a notorious Fallen angel, now enslaved to the Archangels he once attempted to overthrow. Together, they must solve this murder mystery, while also navigating their very complicated feelings for one another. Our SJM expert and super fan, Sierra Marshall, joins me on today's episode to talk about the incredible power SJM holds right now in the BookTok and Bookstagram worlds.
