Quick Note - In our originally published version of this episode, we incorrectly attributed the role of Ursula in the cast of “The Little Mermaid Live!” to Oprah, not Queen Latifah. We sincerely apologize for this mistake. We have nothing but the greatest respect for both of these women and feel terrible about the mix-up. This version has been edited to remove the error, since we don’t like posting incorrect information, but we want to acknowledge the mistake and own it. We strive to get things right, and when we don't, we believe in saying so. Thank you for hearing us out.

Original Show Notes:

Join your favorite literary detectives Abby and Ronnie as they dive into everyone’s (?) favorite (?) wolf shifter, Danika Fendyr! This week we’re answering all the questions we had about Bryce’s surprisingly involved best friend. Just exactly what did Danika know, and when did she know it? Why did Danika put the Horn in Bryce’s back? And really, and the end of the day, was she actually a good friend? Find out all that (and more) in this week’s episode!

NOTE ON SPOILERS: This episode will have spoilers for both ACOTAR and Crescent City. If you have not read every book in both the A Court of Thorns and Roses and Crescent City series, beware!
