WTH? (Worth The Hype?) - Caught UpJoin us this week as Danelle and I dive into Caught Up and decide if it is worth the hype! Put simply - 1000% it is! Navessa Allen has done it again! From some delicious groveling to a cast of lovable side characters to some truly memorable spicy scenes…this book delivers!
This week’s WTH episode features two books with very different vibes: Problematic Summer Romance by @alihazelwood and Silver Elite by Dani Francis. Are they worth the hype? As always with Ali’s romances, it’s a yes for PSR! Danelle and I are gonna say yes* for Silver Elite. Tuned in to see what exactly the asterisk means.

The Empyrean - Onyx Storm - Bodhi Boo (CH 28-29)
Violet is back at Basgiath and breaking down the Quest Squad’s time on the “neutral” isle. Ridoc steals the show with one of our favorite lines in the entire series. We are reminded once again that Bodhi is bae and Carr is a psycho. THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ONYX STORM SPOILERS!
Courtlyn is truly a bit unhinged but he didn’t count on the fact that so is Xaden…and Violet if we are being honest. Also, it sounds like LA was the place to be the past weekend. IYKYK.THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ONYX STORM SPOILERS!
Pssst…there is no magic on the Isles. NO. MAGIC. You know what that means…👀👀👀 Too bad Halden is a political nightmare personified. 🌩️THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ONYX STORM SPOILERS!
Just like Ridoc, we are all so freaking happy that the gang got on those horses. Island Xaden is a vibe and we are here for it. Plus we get to meet a sassy bookshop owner who seems to live for the tea. Prepare for lots of giggles today.THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ONYX STORM SPOILERS!
Remember how we said Quest Squad 1.0 was doomed? We were right. Also, how did SHE know??? Time for Quest Squad 2.0 to step in and travel abroad with the help of our favorite Viscount.
Xaden adjusts to his new role while humbling pretty much everyone on the mat. Meanwhile, Violet finds herself having to trust Dain of all people. It pays off though and now we’ve got a fun little riddle to solve. To top it off, Vi gets a blast from the past who then gets blasted.
Violet, Garrick and Theo have a casual, friendly chat…sorta…kinda? The aftermath of that misadventure was worth it though. Meanwhile, Quest Squad is off to a truly awful start. Thanks Grady. Xaden ends up with yet another new title and this one is a doozy.THIS EPISODE CONTAINS ONYX STORM SPOILERS!
