Ep 17 Book of Azrael was overhyped? | BOOK TROPE PICK UPDATE for Ashley

Welcome back to the BATB Podcast, where your hosts Liz and Ashley pick books for each other to read based on our most liked and least liked tropes so that we can talk to you about them! Well… sometimes that’s what we do!

Today is our first follow up episode to our favorite tropes / “non-icks,” where we report back on The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole, the book Liz picked for Ashley based on her top five favorite tropes: a good twist (or several), slow burn, enemies to lovers, badass FMC who’s older than 20, and a good redemption arc.

This book is such a popular read on Bookstagram and Booktok. Did it live up to the hype? Did Liz manage to find a book with all of Ashley’s favorite tropes? Listen on to find out.

Don’t forget, the first 15 mins (ish..) are spoiler free, so come chat with us about our faves and fails of the week. We discuss everything from bookish tattoos, to DOGMA the movie, ice cream shenanigans, and husbands. You know, the usual. And if you can, stick around for our weekly unhinged Smash or Pass segment, starring a horse with a great personality, and a hat expert.
