Sink your teeth into this week’s episode of Softcover Podcast! Your favorite bookish besties are diving fang-first into Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead—a YA classic filled with drama, danger, and… undead creatures that are definitely not giving “sexy immortal boyfriend” vibes.

We chat about Rachel’s surprising origin story of her love for Baltic boys, our obsession with strong-willed female main characters (because weak heroines? never), and why the Strigoi are the least crush-worthy monsters to ever grace a page. It’s all book banter, laughs, and a little chaos—just the way we like it.

✨ If you’re into books, besties, and a side of unhinged commentary, you’ll want to press play. Don’t forget to listen, follow, and share this episode with your fellow book lovers so they can join the Softcover squad too!
