In this episode, we dive into the romantasy book The Serpent and the Wolf by Rebecca Robinson. This is the first book in the Dark Inheritance Trilogy. The second book in the series, The Wicked and the Damned, is scheduled for release in February 2026.

During this episode, we discuss how we were hooked on this book from the first chapter, why Reid is climbing our book boyfriend list, how much we loved the camaraderie between the Veragi coven, our shock when the traitor was revealed, and why this book is one of our top reads of the entire year. Plus, we’re sharing our unhinged theories on the connection between Vaasa and Reid, why we think Melisina knows way more than she lets on, why we believe Vaasa not initially wanting the arranged marriage with Reid will play a bigger role in the second book, how we think someone is coming back from the dead, and how we’re hoping Ozik can’t make deals with other witches.
