TRIGGER WARNINGS *** THIS EPISODE details GRAPHIC violence & sexual assault ***Exploring splatter-punk horror & the last girl trope with Aron Beauregard's The Slob

Listen up! We all know about YA novels; young adult - it’s one of the largest and fastest growing genres with nearly 31 million books sold in 2022 increasing by over 48% since 2018. But we’re well past the age for that; and we assume if you’re listening to us you probably are too. So how about we go back to a comfort genre; paranormal - ya know vamps & witches but with a NA; new adult twist and throw that down with some urban fantasy? Sound good? Fantastic - we have all that in Katie Wismer’s The Marionettes.Because #witchesb4bitches

Who needs feminism when you have a dozen hot Alphas?

ATTENTION EVERYONE…VAMPIRES. That’s right, we are talking about every young woman’s first fictional boyfriend…vampires. But not just any angsty, sparkly, toothy vampire this week. Nuh uh, we’re talking about a mature, worldly, fine drink of wine vampire…also he’s filthy rich? Getting steamy in a paranormal romance with a hint of the virgin trope with Geneva Lee’s Filthy Rich Vampire.Because… #VampiresDon’tSparkle

Ok everyone - this episode is going to be a bit more dark, unhinged, and all around more twisted than our previous reads. Not only are we walking into the clubhouse of a notorious motorcycle gang - but we also dig up one nasty and fanatical sex cult in Tillie Cole’s first installment of the Hade’s Hangmen - It Ain’t Me Babe.Because… #ItAintMe

I honestly don’t even know what to tell all of you about the book we’re about to discuss…but I am pretty positive I’ve seen a Law & Order: SVU episode that similar to this. We’re going to explain why you should be reading the trigger warnings when an author says READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS, and explore a primal kink, and stalker smut in Belle Aurora’s dark romance Raw. This is DNF Happy Hour.Because… #NoHEA

We explore the sub genre of sub genres in romance with monster smut and breeding kink topes!

On this episode of DNF Happy Hour we take a crash course in fluffy BDSM with a #cinnadom in Kathryn Nolan's contemporary romance Bohemian.
