Episode 1

Written By Brats .

We hope you're ready to get feral, because it's the first episode of the Rainbow Book Rats: A Queer Romance Podcast! Brought to you by four feral besties who have left their book nests to nerd out about their favourite reads with you.

In this episode we'll be discussing how our week went (tragically), how great the books we read this week were (awesome) and what's on our book radar of new and upcoming queer romance releases - if we can survive the excitement (we cannot).  JD takes us down the rabbit hole of Dark Trails, Kit gets feral over Once Bitten, it’s a great Groundhog Day for Megan in PAH! and Caity gets inducted into the horny weirdo family in F**k, Marry, Kill Me, Daddy.

What JD Read this Week

JD kicks us off with their reads of the week, featuring their top choice, the Dark Trails series by Em Jae Black! A great erotic romance series for anyone who enjoys their kink dark and their men wild.

Kit’s next with his reads, including his top choice of Once Bitten by AM Rose, an urban fantasy romance which kept him captivated (and crying) right til the end. If you love a bit of mystery with your angsty romance and all the found family banter, the Cursebreakers Inc. series is for you!

Megan is next with their choices, and top of the billing is PAH! by E.M. Lindsey and Cora Rose. A full of meaning contemporary romance, this is a wonderful book with more found family shenanigans and wonderful disability rep!

Caity closes out the first section with her reads of the week, choosing F**k, Marry, Kill Me, Daddy by Lance Lansdale as her read of the week! This hilarious dark romcom will have you crying with laughter, sighing gently at the emotional bits and wanting to be part of the ridiculous murder found family they up with. A brilliant choice for anyone who is willing to walk on the wild side with their humour and loves their spice dark!
