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.

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli dive into Alchemised, Senlinyu’s dark, atmospheric debut about memory loss, necromancy, and the lies people build a world on. They break down Helena Marino’s story: once a talented alchemist, now a war prisoner with a suspiciously blank mind and enemies convinced she’s hiding something crucial. Paladia has fallen to corrupt guild families and necromancers, and Helena’s supposed “insignificance” doesn’t add up—especially when no one can explain the missing months before her capture. Join the besties as they discuss whether or not they would recommend this story!

On this week’s episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli dive headfirst into the absolute chaos, yearning, and destiny-breaking drama of Every Spiral of Fate, the fourth book in Tahereh Mafi’s romantasy saga. The girls walk listeners through a story that opens on the wedding of the century—Alizeh and Cyrus bound by magic, prophecy, and one wildly inconvenient fact: she’s oath-bound to kill him, and he’s falling stupidly in love with her.

This week on The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli dive into the chaos of Ruthless Creatures, the mafia romance where grief, secrets, and unhinged lust collide. Our main girlie, Natalie, has spent five years frozen in heartbreak after her fiancé vanished without a trace—wedding dress unworn, life on pause, trauma fully activated. Then our love interest, Kage shows up: the dangerously hot, broody new neighbor who looks like trouble and feels like destiny. Their chemistry snaps instantly, and the girls break down every stare, every spark, and every “ma’am, don’t you see the red flags?” moment. Join the besties as they discuss whether or not they would recommend this dark romance!

On this week’s episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli unwrap a dark and spicy holiday read that’s anything but merry and bright. They dive into He Sees You When I’m Sleeping — a Christmas-themed stalker romance that blends festive cheer with obsession, secrecy, and morally grey desire.

The story follows Chloe Hallman, a jewelry influencer who spends Christmas alone while secretly running a seductive online persona. When she meets Jack, a protective fireman who’s been quietly watching over her since a tragic accident two years earlier, sparks fly — but not all of them are safe. As Jack’s fascination deepens into obsession, the line between love and danger blurs in ways neither of them can control.
