Romantasy Remedy

Ep 1 The Songbird & the Heart of Stone: Chapters 1-21

We’re officially entering the Shadowborn era. 🖤 In this week’s episode of Romantasy Remedy, Whit & Kenz begin their coverage of The Songbird & the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent (the first book in the Shadowborn Duet) and we could not be more excited to finally be in Mische’s POV. Everyone’s favorite sunshiney vampire deserves her moment, and we are already emotionally attached. As always, we’re sharing the moments that acted as our remedies and book therapy this week. For Kenzi, it was the way Asar quietly created sanctuaries in the darkness of Morthryn. For Whitney, it was watching Mische realize that Asar may not be the monster his reputation suggested after all.  Of course, no Romantasy Remedy episode would be complete without side quests, so expect detours into topics including (but definitely not limited to): Sleep Token, the carpool lane experience, and dogs. Because somehow it all connects back to book therapy eventually. And if you’ve already finished the entire Crowns of Nyaxia series, be sure to stick around for Spoiler Central at the end of the episode. We’re connecting dots, sharing theories, and spiraling over all the things we definitely can’t discuss safely in the main episode. 👀 Come hang out with us, spiral over vampires, and start the Shadowborn journey together. ✨ Instagram: @RomantasyRemedy [https://www.instagram.com/romantasyremedy?igsh=MWNhaTZiaTJiczIxYg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr] Tik Tok: @RomantasyRemedy [https://www.tiktok.com/@romantasy.remedy?_t=ZP-8xrafuEZNug&_r=1] Spotify Playlist: Songbird Playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0EILxhzB9WhRJ1CnJFmT6B?si=g-GEe60QQdqCh4sPtzu19g&pi=k9mX6xT2QKqNA] Printable Affirmation: My Past Does Not Define My Future [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EmHwu8jY5hhdAaBxXMBBtwAsIK4jp9Hh/view?usp=sharing]

Tabitha Slick Book Chat

This week’s Romantasy Remedy is extra special because Whit & Kenz are joined by romantasy author, Tabitha Slick, for a fun, heartfelt, and hilariously relatable book chat episode. ✨📚🍷 Together, they dive into Blood & Bordeaux, one of Tabitha’s many books featuring what she loves to write most: strong, middle-aged female main characters who prove romance, adventure, healing, and self-discovery don’t end at twenty-five. Whit & Kenz chat with Tabitha about her journey to becoming an author, the inspirations behind her characters, balancing creativity with real life, and her advice for other busy women who dream of writing their own stories someday. And of course, no episode of Romantasy Remedy would be complete without discussing the ultimate question: what were Tabitha’s personal romantasy remedies from Blood & Bordeaux? It’s a cozy, funny, and inspiring conversation full of bookish chaos, writing wisdom, and plenty of love for women claiming space in fantasy romance stories. Be sure to check out Tabitha’s books after the episode and come back on May 22nd when Whit & Kenz begin covering The Songbird & the Heart of Stone by Carissa Broadbent, the next installment in the Crowns of Nyaxia universe. 🖤🩸 Instagram: @RomantasyRemedy [https://www.instagram.com/romantasyremedy?igsh=MWNhaTZiaTJiczIxYg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr] Tik Tok: @RomantasyRemedy [https://www.tiktok.com/@romantasy.remedy?_t=ZP-8xrafuEZNug&_r=1]

What We've Been Reading Book Chat

It’s time for a chaotic catch-up with your favorite book besties 🖤✨ In this Book Chat episode of Romantasy Remedy, Whit & Kenzie are diving into everything they’ve been reading lately, and the spirals are very real. Kenzie is officially feral over The Wolf King series by Lauren Palphreyman. But there’s a problem. A major one. The love triangle has her fully unwell. Team Callum or Team Blake?! She cannot decide, will not decide, and frankly may never recover. Meanwhile, Whitney received the ultimate birthday gift: an early copy of The Lion and the Deathless Dark by Carissa Broadbent. She’s keeping things spoiler-free, but one thing is certain: Septimus has officially claimed the #1 vampire spot. No notes. No competition. As always, the conversation takes a few delightful detours. Think Bat Boys, 2026 book release excitement, and a little love for Sleep Token. Because what’s a Romantasy Remedy episode without a few side quests? Mark your calendars for an author interview with Tabitha Slick on May 8th and the first episode covering The Songbird & the Heart of Stone on May 22nd! Until then, happy reading!

Ep 4 Slaying the Vampire Conqueror: Chapters 42-51

We made it to the end and this one hits. 🖤 In Episode 4 of Slaying the Vampire Conqueror on Romantasy Remedy, Whit & Kenz dive into chapters 42–51. We’re wrapping up this unforgettable story with all the emotion, tension, and book therapy it deserves. ✨ This week’s affirmation: The Fight Will Always Be Worth It. ✨ Kenzie explores Sylina’s evolution across the book. How she moves through doubt, duty, and identity to ultimately embrace her true self in a way that feels both powerful and deeply earned. It’s a journey of becoming, and we’re here for every second of it. Whitney’s book therapy centers on the Arachessen salt circle scene, where Sylina stands with her sisters and faces both the truth of the past and the weight of the future. It’s raw, it’s grounding, and it’s one of those moments that reminds us why romantasy just hits different. And if you’ve read the full Crowns of Nyaxia: Do. Not. Skip. Spoiler Central. We’re talking the bonus chapter, asking big questions, and(of course) diving into Septimus content that has us spiraling in the best way. 👀🩸 Come get your weekly dose of magic, romance, and healing as we close out Slaying the Vampire Conqueror together.

Ep 3 Slaying the Vampire Conqueror: Chapters 30-41

The tension is rising, loyalties are shifting, and we’re taking it straight to book therapy. 🖤In Episode 3 of Romantasy Remedy’s coverage of Slaying the Vampire Conqueror, Whit & Kenz dive into chapters 30–41. ✨ This week’s affirmation: Don’t Stand Still. Inspired by Sylina, this one is for anyone navigating uncertainty, growth, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward, even when everything feels unclear. Whitney explores the idea of finding humanity in others (even vampires), and what it means to challenge the lines we think are so clearly drawn. Meanwhile, Kenzie is here to give the love and recognition deserved to one of the best side characters ever (Erekkus) and his meaningful friendship with Sylina. We love loyalty, we love heart, and we love a character who shows up. As always, don’t forget to print the affirmation and check out our Spotify playlist to fully immerse yourself in the vibes (links below 🎧). And if you’ve read the entire Crowns of Nyaxia?
