In this week’s episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli unpack Beautiful Beast, Neva Altaj’s mafia-dark-romance twist on Beauty and the Beast. Our “beauty” is Vasilisa, a genius hacker who gets kidnapped by Rafael who is a scarred, ruthless mafia kingpin. He needs her to fix his compromised systems which she may or not have a hand on, oops! What should’ve been a simple captor-captive standoff becomes messy fast when Rafael finds himself obsessed with her brain, her bravery, and… everything else.

As Vasilisa fights to protect her family and outsmart the monster holding her, the line between danger and desire blurs. The hosts break down the tension, the possessive-hero moments, the hacker-girl power, and whether this fairytale retelling really gives us love beyond appearances, or just a beast who refuses to let his beauty go.

In this chaotic, cozy, absolutely unhinged end-of-year recap episode for The Book Fix podcast, Yajaira and Cheli sit down to discuss the books they’ve devoured from July through December 2025 and finally do what must be done: make a definitive Book Fix tier list. No mercy. No favorites spared. No trope immune. (And yes, they fight this time!)

The girls revisit every single title they reviewed this season — from the haunting vibes of The Possession of Alba Díaz, The Bewitching, and Mapping the Interior, to the romantasy standouts like The Knight and the Moth, The Fallen & the Kiss of Dusk, and Curse Carved in Bone. They dive back into the cowboy chaos of Lost & Lassoed, Done & Dusted, and Swift & Saddled, plus all the mafia and morally questionable romances like Ruthless Creatures, Caught Up, and My Ex, the Antichrist. Join the besties as they make the difficult decision and pick their favorite book of 2025!

On this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli plunge headfirst into Heart of the Devil, Sadie Kincaid’s standalone dark mafia romance where our main character falls for her bestie's father... oops... Sebastian, the bestie's father is charming, dangerous, a serial heartbreaker, and radiating enough Daddy Dom energy to short-circuit the national grid. Join us in our mafia romance discussion as we decide if we would recommend this book or not.
