Today on the podcast, I’m reviewing Prioress by Kara Reynolds. This is an ARC, and I am on Kara’s street team but all opinions are my own. This romantasy is the ultimate enemies to lovers. A standalone that sits as the final part of the interconnected Gods of Tintar series, it has everything you would want in a book - sexual tension, banter, a murder mystery, female friendship and feminine rage.

Today I’m reviewing Pilgrimess by Kara Reynolds. The second book in her indie published Gods of Tintar series.  Disclaimer - I am part of Kara Reynolds’ street team, but I did not review this ARC.
