We're gushing over the electric chemistry and the epic tension that had us flipping pages late into the workday. But this book is so much more than a meet-cute!

Plot On The Rocks ·

2025/10/31

What if everything you thought was myth was actually your hidden legacy? This week, we're very much obsessed with The Secret World of Maggie Grey by Granger, the story of a Black woman who stumbles into a secret world of Black vampires, werewolves, sirens, priestesses, and talking cats (one of our favorite characters, obviously!). Join your hosts as we gush over the breathtaking world-building and unpack the powerful themes of identity, legacy, and breaking free from expectation. We'll dive i...

Pack your bags and maybe some sage, because this week we're moving into the spooky world of Del Sandeen's This Cursed House! We're talking about a historic New Orleans mansion with more secrets than a little bit, a heroine who's just trying to do her job, and a family curse that's stickier than Louisiana humidity.

Do What Godmother Says

Plot On The Rocks ·

2025/10/03

Get your drink and get your seat, because this week we're diving into Do What Godmother Says by L.S. Stratton and we'll be connecting the dots, gasping at the twists, and discuss the things some of some artists have sacrificed for their artistic freedom. We're following the story of a woman who inherits a painting from a lost artist of the Harlem Renaissance. But this isn't just a family heirloom; it's a one-way ticket to a mystery that goes back generations. This Godmother didn't just ...

Family Lore

Plot On The Rocks ·

2025/09/19

Get ready to grab your drink and light a scented candle, because this week, we're stepping into the complicated and magical world of Elizabeth Acevedo's Family Lore! We're talking about a family of women with gifts that range from the practical to the... divinely feminine, we'll say. Your hosts are diving headfirst into the Marte family drama, where a planned "living wake" brings about more questions and reflection than anyone was prepared for. We'll chat about the ways that this made us...

King of Ashes

Plot On The Rocks ·

2025/09/05

Y'all, buckle up and hold onto your hats because this week, we're getting our hands dirty in the complicated world of S.A. Cosby's King of Ashes! We're talking about crime, drugs, mayhem, and a murder mystery that twists tighter than a backroad in the South. Join your hosts as we realize how murky that hero/villian line is and get into some literary analysis that makes us feel like Mr. Cosby just might be a genius! So, pour yourself a sweet tea (or something stronger), and get ready for a spo...

Sky Full of Elephants

Plot On The Rocks ·

2025/08/08

In this episode, we get real about our first impressions, how the storytelling lowkey snuck up on us, and why this book ended up sitting heavy on our hearts (in the best way). Plus, we dive into some of the themes around identity, freedom, and the weight of legacy. Grab your tea (or your wine, because that's what we do), this one’s a ride. Let’s talk about how Sky Full of Elephants went from “ehhh” to “damn, that was deep.” 🐘✨

Kindred

Plot On The Rocks ·

2025/07/25

In this episode, we dive deep into Octavia Butler’s groundbreaking novel Kindred. We're talking time travel, slavery, survival, and what it really means to be connected to your ancestors, whether you like it or not. Dana’s journey back to the 1800s ain’t just wild, it’s real heavy, and we break down all the layers: race, power, love, and legacy. Tune in as we unpack the pain, the purpose, and the power in Butler’s story. You don’t wanna miss this one; it’s history, sci-fi, and truth all rolle...
