🚨This episode contains FULL SPOILERS for Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune. If you don't want the ENTIRE story spoiled, please return once you've read the story. 🚨 ____________________________________________________________ Allyson and Becca introduce the Reading After Bedtime podcast and discuss Carley Fortune’s contemporary romance Our Perfect Storm (published May 5, 2026), share social links, and promote a ticketed ACOTAR 6 release party with Bibliobar Books and Gifts. They recap the premise: lifelong best friends Frankie and George face uncertainty on the eve of her wedding; after her fiancé Nate leaves, George convinces her to take the Tofino honeymoon with him, stirring buried feelings. Both hosts rate the book low (Allyson between 3–4, Becca 2) and give a spice rating of “chili pepper” 2, citing heavy miscommunication, rushed character growth over one week, and frustration with Frankie’s choices, though they liked George, the letters, the Tofino setting, and mentions of Canadian wildfires and whales. They announce next episode: The Wolf King (June 8). ____________________________________________________________ Looking for our full discussion of Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune?

Abigail Owen [Author Interview] | The Crucible Series | Bestselling Author

The Reading After Bedtime podcast hosts Allyson and Becca announce a ticketed ACOTAR 6 release party with Bibliobar Books and Gifts in Plano, Texas, then interview bestselling author Abigail Owen about her background, motherhood, and being most active on Instagram via abigailowen.com. They discuss Owen’s The Crucible series (The Games Gods Play, The Things Gods Break, and upcoming third book Wrath), her preference for trilogies and HEAs, favorite tropes (morally gray heroes and enemies/adversaries to lovers), and least favorites (second-chance romance and secret baby). Owen shares how she started writing young, finished her first fantasy romance during maternity leave after Twilight inspired her, and how ADHD/autism affect her process, including dictating on walks. They cover the Amazon MGM TV adaptation of The Games Gods Play, limited casting ideas, and milestone celebrations. ____________________________________________________________ Looking for our full discussion of the Crucible Series by Abigail Owen?

They discuss Abigail Owen’s The Things Gods Break (published Oct. 21, 2025), rating it five stars and praising it as a strong middle book with a slow-burn romance (two “chili peppers”) and intentional, well-managed confusion tied to Lyra’s perspective. After a spoiler warning, they cover tropes (games/trials, prophecy/chosen one, enemies to friends), extensive content warnings, and series context (final book The Wrath Gods Reap expected Nov. 17, 2026). They highlight time travel, seven locks/trials, glamours affecting gods and mortals, Lyra’s powers, Cronos’s sacrifice, Hades/Charon/Cerberus moments, and end with competing theories about the Deceiver, predictions for book three, favorite quotes, and a teaser for an upcoming Abigail Owen interview and a Dungeon Crawler Carl episode. _____________________________________________________________ 🎉LET'S PARTY!🎉 Let's celebrate the release of ACOTAR 6 together!

Lyra is tested through the seven divine locks (including Hestia, Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and Aphrodite), learns the gods have been glamoured for millennia, and uncovers that Tartarus is breaking as time repeatedly resets. With Persephone’s complicated help and Boone’s distrust, Lyra gains powers to see and remove glamour, makes unbreakable oaths, and ultimately unseals all locks when Cronos sacrifices himself, transferring his time power to Lyra. A battle erupts after the Titans’ release; Lyra stops time, reverses key damage, and exposes the deception. Hades is punished by losing immortality and power, and Lyra and Persephone lead the Underworld as the next book is teased. _____________________________________________________________ 🎉LET'S PARTY!🎉 Let's celebrate the release of ACOTAR 6 together!
