The Kings' List by Jade Presley

In this episode, we dive into the romantasy book, The Kings’ List by Jade Presley [https://www.jadepresley.com/]. This is the second book in The Never List series. We’ve previously covered the first book in the series on the podcast last year. During this episode, we discuss why we’ve been waiting for this book to come out, why four princes are always better than one, how we’ll never trust Baydel, why we’re suspicious of the cat, how angry we were at the kings when the so-called Kings’ List was introduced, why Jax’s insecurities break our hearts, and why the cliffhanger has us clamoring for the third book. Plus, we have more unhinged theories about who the mole is, what really happened to the goddess, the identity of One, the fate of Rylee’s parents, what’s really been happening with the people put on the Never List, and so much more.  Connect with Late Night Reads: Website: https://www.latenightreads.com/ [http://www.latenightreads.com/] Instagram: @latenightreadspodcast [https://www.instagram.com/latenightreadspodcast/] TikTok: @latenightreadspodcast [https://www.tiktok.com/@latenightreadspodcast] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LateNightReadsPodcast/ [https://www.facebook.com/LateNightReadsPodcast/] Threads: @latenightreadspodcast [https://www.threads.net/@latenightreadspodcast] Email: latenightreadspodcast@gmail.com [latenightreadspodcast@gmail.com]
