Buckle up book buddies, Episode 8 is here with sex (kinda), lies and typewriters. Katie kicks things off with a brand new game that’s part personality quiz, part chaos: What Would Ashley Do? Spoiler alert — the answer is probably something morally gray and wildly entertaining. It's the perfect introduction to the first 15 chapters of First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston, and guess what, the lies are winning. Then, Ashley serves up a recap of the first 26 chapters of The Only One Left by Riley Stager. The twisted mystery of who really killed the Hope family and Mary Milton — tells like a fever dream, leaving Ashley second-guessing everyone and trusting no one, is Kit in danger? And just how much? Ash offers some predictions, there’s much to unravel! Lastly, the team tackles the highly anticipated shared read, Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros. The third release in the Empyrean Series is giving high-stakes drama, slow-burn tension, and just enough angst to make you want to throw your book. Classic Rebecca, never misses when it comes to emotional rollercoasters and scenarios you love to scream at. Whether it’s lying, fighting, scheming, or playing detective, all our main characters across these reads are doing whatever it takes for survival — and let’s just say, morals are optional and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
