Beschrijving

After two unplanned weeks off, we're back with TV is diving into the Kiss of the Basilisk duology by Lindsay Straube and she has very different feelings about each book. One delivered exactly what it promised. The other had approximately seventy plot points, none of them resolved cleanly, and a villain with a gold penis. Spoilers ahead, drinks strongly recommended, and yes there will be plot holes. Many of them.

HTHA Episode #11 Creamed by my Monster Stand Mixer by Krista LaRae

This week on Hot Takes and Heartaches, TV dives into Creamed by My Monster Stand Mixer by Krista LaRae, a book that somehow manages to be exactly what the title promises and absolutely nothing like what you'd expect. What started as an attempt at a live read quickly fell apart when TV realized there was far too much plot to unpack. Beneath the absurd premise lies an urban fantasy packed with magical sanctuaries, ley lines, ancient supernatural mysteries, and one of the funniest protagonists we've encountered in a long time. Join us as we discuss Abby, her sourdough starter Edgar Allan Dough, an extremely consent-focused stand mixer, and why TV somehow finished this book with strong opinions about the magical infrastructure of Portland. Come for the kitchen appliance. Stay for the worldbuilding. TW: smut, nsfw, alcohol consumption
