Our hosts are Devin, a New Englander living in Colorado who loves romances that amp her up and make her giggle; and Holly, a New Yorker who loves nothing more than reading something dark, creepy, and mysterious. Each week we will ... more

I read Holly’s recommendations by day and Devin’s recommendations by night, because I like the thrill but I am a scaredy cat, and will never turn down a good romance.
This podcast is like a cozy sunny morning with coffee and friends, chatting about books. In each episode , Devin and Holly bring a book revolving around a set theme, but with a completely different flavour. I love to listen to them chatting about books, and Devin always makes me laugh so much.

Smart, funny and covers great books! I love listening to Holly and Devin talk about books together, their friendship shines through and so does their love of reading.
I love this podcast for highlighting unique novels. Most of the books they bring aren’t ones that I’ve heard other places. Sometimes I do have to pause if the romance sounds really interesting because the descriptions kind of give away the whole plot, however, if I’m not interested I like feeling like I know a ton about those books.
Love love love
Put down my book for this podcast—and it’s worth every minute! The format is unique and the hosts are wonderful. Love both heart and daggers, so my TBR grows with each episode 🩵🗡️
