On this episode of Let's Talk About Smut, Halle and Taylor discuss book three of Jennifer L Armentrout's best-selling series From Blood and Ash, A Crown of Gilded Bone.

The episode begins with the ladies sharing their ratings and feelings for the book when they first read it three years ago versus their re-read and what has changed, along with their thoughts on the announcement that FBAA is becoming a TV show.

While deep-diving into the wealth of information that is covered in the third installment, Halle and Taylor take the time to also discuss Kieran being the ultimate Wing Man and his stress levels, The Joining, THAT slide chair, and how the Blood Queen for sure dominates Jalara in the bedroom (we know you were thinking it). The Mona Lisa also works her way into the conversation and honestly, it just makes sense.
