Grims for the Win: The "Stay a Spell" Summer Special

SFFRomCast

Welcome to our Summer Special!

We invited wonderful contemporary romance author Lucy Keeling from the Love at First Write podcast (coming September 2023) to join us in a celebration of the Stay a Spell series by Juliette Cross, which is comprised of the following paranormal romance novels:

• Wolf Gone Wild
• Don't Hex and Drive
• Witches Get Stitches
• Walking in a Witchy Wonderland
• Always Practice Safe Hex
• Resting Witch Face
• Grim and Bear It

The Stay a Spell series holds a special place in our hearts as it was a tandem reading of Wolf Gone Wild which inspired us to start the SFFRomCast. You can listen to our deep dive (Award Winning Meat Pie) from the first series here.

There is a full list below of all the books discussed (be prepared for your TBR's to groan). These are all adult books so please carefully check the content and trigger warnings for each book on the authors website or Goodreads pages as some topics might be upsetting for some individuals.

Additional warnings too for explicit language and a few spoilers. As always, we tried to keep them as minimal as possible and to give warnings so you can skip ahead if you want to. (And a final warning to drink responsibly if you do decide to take part in our Stay a Spell drinking game!)

You can watch this podcast as a video via Spotify or our You Tube channel (with captions), links for which you can find here, along with our social media. We'd love to hear from you and hope you can join us for Season 5 in Autumn 2023!
