Things are getting dangerously delicious in The Lit Library this month. We cracked open Our Vicious Oaths expecting a little magic, a little mayhem… and instead got a whole buffet of backstabbing besties, morally flexible hotties, ancient curses with no respect for personal boundaries, and enough jaw-dropping plot twists to make us question our own life choices.

Join us as we dive headfirst into N.E. Davenport’s lush, lethal world where alliances shift faster than our attention spans, romance simmers hotter than our coffee (which is saying something), and everyone is one bad decision away from either saving the realm or accidentally summoning something with too many teeth.

We’ll break down the drama, thirst over the characters we absolutely should NOT be thirsting over, and attempt to answer the most pressing question of all:

Would we survive these vicious oaths, or would we trip over a spell circle and immediately die?

Grab your enchanted snacks and tune in—this episode is equal parts chaos, cackling, and scandalous book-nerd joy.
