Cancel your plans and light a damn candle! We're going deep into cursed libraries, shadow tentacles, and book boyfriends who bite. This week on Cocktails & Cliterature, I’m joined by the radiant chaos queen herself, Analeigh Sbrana, author of Lore of the Wilds, the romantasy debut that’s got readers moaning over morally gray Fae and heroines who don’t play nice.
We talk seductive tension that makes your Kindle sweat, why Black girl magic belongs in every magical realm, and how Analeigh went from indie author to trad pub baddie with two chocolate Fae and a fantasy world that’s dangerously delicious.
Redacted smut for mom? Check. Shadow magic in your ass? Obviously. A dark Fae prince whispering “you’re mine”? Baby, that’s just chapter one.
