Episode 3: Blood Forest Wood

Hello, fellow nerds! On this week's podcast episode, we’re discussing chapters 4-5 of “From Blood & Ash” by ⁠⁠@jennifer_l_armentrout⁠⁠ !   This episode is hilarious AND spooky when we talk about the different types of vampires in pop culture and the ghost of Jenny Casseday. We also spend a good amount of time chatting about the douche-baggery that is Lord Mazeen.

Drink up "Our Nerdiest Cocktail" named "Hawke's Tail". It can be found here!

Fave Quotes from the Episode: “Sounds like you were choking on it.” “So Was Poppy!”—Deb and Whitney; “Its when we do it.”—our (least) nerdiest husband, Robbie
