Pour yourself a glass of Barefoot Wine, get cozy, and join us as we take our first bite of Season Six! In this After Dark episode, we’re discussing the sapphic werewolf romance SHE CAME FOR THE PACK by Darva Green! Vibe out with us as we discuss content warnings and who they benefit, unpack the book’s sapphic take on Alpha/Omega tropes, and decide whether this is a satisfying standalone or leaves us wanting more. Plus, Emma schools us (not for the first time, and probably not for the last time) on the intricacies and origins of the Omegaverse.

For more on the Omegaverse, listen to our After Dark discussion of Dark City Omega!

Check out the list of Ao3’s most written Alphas & Omegas of all time!

Meet Brittney! In this Season Six premiere minisode, we shoot the shit with the newest co-host of Shit We’ve Read to talk about books, pets, and everything she’s bringing to the podcast. Listen in as we reveal the sad story behind Laura and Brittney's first meeting, we go on yet another mini Heated Rivalry tangent, and Jason comes to the surprising defense of an author he’s never read. Plus, we discuss the language of cults, so join us in welcoming Brittney to our own!

About Brittney:
Brittney grew up in a small town with busy working parents, so her constant companions were her books. When she is not deep in the pages of a fantasy or contemporary romance, you can catch her spending time with her four dogs, camping, paddle boarding, or hanging out at a brewery with her book club. Follow her on Instagram @nghtreadrslibrary
