Welcome back WITS listeners. Halloween is over, its time to get grateful. Are we grateful that we read this book... you be the judge of that one. This week, Elle and Kay discussed Basted by Abby Hunter. WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙 This week, Elle has some "what not to do" financial advice in the first year of a relationship, and Kay gets to the root of where her hopeless romantic ideals come from. They question the choice to keep the MMCs as turkey basters instead of going the typical sentient object route of turning them into men, though the addition of magical tendrils helps a little. Also, as always, Elle has a visceral reaction to the introduction of gravy into places gravy should never go. Overall, this was a ⭐ from both Elle and Kay. Its been a while since we had a story that really needed a little more plot for both of us.

33. Corny ft. Nik the Forge Bear
Welcome back WITS listeners!This week, Elle and Kay are joined by a very special guest, Nik the Forge Bear to discuss Corny by Sabrina Cross.WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙Get ready for growls, laughs, and all the soapbox talks from Nik. Somehow, in a book about a succubus possessed crocheted candy corn, we discuss dating apps, utilizing toys with a partner, and of course, the age old debate of whether or not candy corn actually tastes good. Nik coins a new gender neutral term, and comes up with a term of endearment that both he and Elle are not at liberty to use as members of Camp No Candy Corn.Overall, Kay gives this ⭐⭐⭐ while both Nik and Elle rated it a little higher at ⭐⭐⭐.5, and then we get a special treat of dual fan casts from Kay and Nik.A very special thank you to Nik the Forge Bear for joining us!!Affiliate Links for this episode:Corny by Sabrina CrossNext week: Basted by Abby HunterFollow us on Instagram and Threads @thewitspodFollow Nik on Instagram and TikTokVisit our Buy Me a Coffee page!Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!Love Sponge byTriple5 Here is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License.

32. Hallowpeen
Welcome back WITS listeners!!This week, Elle and Kay discuss Hallowpeen by Holly WildeWITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙This week, Kay and Elle were both not expecting really any of what went on in this book, but in true Holly Wilde fashion, we were taken on a ride. Kay related quite a bit to one of the main characters, as someone who tends to get herself into uncomfortable conversations with crying strangers. Though both preferred the storyline of Man Candy to the Hallowpeens, Elle had a LOT to say regarding sugar in certain areas. To finish things off, Kay creates a list of all of Holly's puns... that woman really should create her own thesaurus! Overall, Kay gave this ⭐⭐ and Elle gave it ⭐⭐.5 Affiliate Links for this episode:Hallowpeen by Holly WildeNext Week: Corny by Sabrina Cross (with a very special guest Nik the Forge Bear!!)Follow us on Instagram and Threads @thewitspodVisit our Buy Me a Coffee page!Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!Love Sponge byTriple5 Here is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License.

31. Jack's Head
Welcome back WITS listeners!This week, Elle and Kay read yet another spinoff of a headless horseman tale in Jack's Head by Siggy Shade. Quite honestly, we're not sure how we went 30 books before a Siggy Shade story!!WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙🐙🐙We start off this book with green flags from the FMC's fiance... roleplaying from a smutty book? Yes, please! Unfortunately we get immediately smacked in the face with several red flags. As usual, we get a mid-episode Googling, and Kay actually likes the historical significance that comes along with this story. We discuss a new-to-us kink that hasn't popped up in one of the books we've read, and as always... we learn a little more about ourselves in the process. Overall, both Elle and Kay gave this one 3.5 ⭐s, and had a lengthy conversation regarding Hollywood beauty standards.

30. Pumpkin Smash
Welcome back WITS listeners!This week, Elle and Kay discuss Pumpkin Smash by Darva Green.WITS Smut Scale: 🐙🐙 We start off this week with a little update from our time at the Smut Lovers Conference in Orlando! This week's book has us discussing unsafe first date behavior (hello, meeting in secret at midnight is never going to be a good idea) which ultimately gives us a morally grey meet cute. We were pleased to discover that we've got a monster peen on an otherwise mostly human (with a pumpkin head) MMC, and Kay is on board with the full sensory experience. Also, yet another standard 6'4" romantic lead, which Kay is here for. For a halloween themed monster romance, we were pleasantly surprised with the cozy feel and HEA. Overall, Kay gave this ⭐⭐⭐ and it took 30 books, but Elle had her first ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!Affiliate Links for this episode:Pumpkin Smash by Darva GreenNext Week: Jack's Head by Siggy ShadeFollow us on Instagram and Threads @thewitspodVisit our Buy Me a Coffee page!Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and tell all your friends!Love Sponge byTriple5 Here is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International License.
