June/July2026: Book Recommendation: "Our Vicious Oaths" by N.E. Davenport For our Season 1 finale, host R.J. (Rosemary Jean-Louis) welcomes back Book Club Bestie Reviewer Asiah Muhammad, by popular demand, to contribute to an honest review of Our Vicious Oaths by N.E. Davenport, a black romantasy author. And for the first time ever, the Must Luv Romantasy podcast is available in both audio and video formats! Listen as usual or watch the video version on Spotify and Apple Podcasts (coming soon) as we unpack whether this fae court dark romantasy is worth hugging or hurling! (This book is very spicy so there's a lot of spice talk.)

Key Takeaways:

• "Our Vicious Oaths" gave us fae politics, magic, war, enemies-to-lovers or rather enemies to “I lust you” tension.
• Real, strong portrayal of black males (in fae form) is praiseworthy.
• Lackluster characterization of black female fae main character and her squad was disappointing
• Thick on lust and thin on plot, not enough equal attention to intriguing fantasy world.
• The audiobook performances by Jeanette Illidge and Morris Kellswater deserve a shout-out.

Leave comment, send us fan mail or a voicemail about this review. We may read it on air one day. Shout-out to Ctaylor1220 on Spotify for being the first to comment!

By the way we’re taking a summer break and will return in September with episodes leading up to the new Sarah J. Maas book release in October.
