Whether you’ve taken a pause between books in a series or the next book hasn’t come out yet, sometimes you don’t want to or don’t have the time to reread the previous books just to recall WTF happened. (Or maybe you DFN’d it for whatever reason and are still curious to find out what happens - no judgement here!).
Welcome! You're in the right place!!
Hi! I'm Melissa and I pair a delicious beverage recipe with summary recaps on fantasy book series so you can remember what happened without having to reread them.
My summaries are meant to be fun, entertaining and a quick overview (kind of like a spark notes, but more amusing). My cat, Nayeli, occasionally likes to make an appearance so be sure to look out for her in videos!
Sorry not sorry in advance for my millennial references, stupid humor & tone deaf singing!
Lastly: this channel is *FULL OF SPOILERS!!!* You have been warned!

We finally got a date for BURN OF THE EVERFLAME!! 🔥 Yes, I will be doing summary recaps for the first three books before BURN comes out. AND we got an announcement for whatever secret FOURTH WING book Rebecca is releasing! I already have summary recaps out for Fourth Wing and Iron Flame so I will be adding Onyx Storm to my list to get done before this mystery Fourth Wing book is released just in case!!

ACOTAR 6 & 7!!! I am beyond stoked and of course I will be re-reading all things SJM. If you don't have time or don't want to do a whole re-read of the Maasverse, I've got you covered and will be doing summary recaps on ALL the books over the next few months (in addition to all the books I already have currently planned, so be patient with me!!). I am starting off with TOG, then CC, then ending with ACOTAR.

Yes or No to summary recaps on the Lightlark series? Crowntide just released today and I am on the fence on whether or not to move forward with this series. Let me know if should get on it or just pass.

Counting down the days until Brimstone is released! If you don't have time to reread Quicksilver, my summary recap video is there for you to get a quick refresher! On another note, THAT AUDIO CLIP Callie Hart dropped!!!! 👀 Who do you think the other character is that might also be in love with Saeris??

Working on the Flesh and Fire series and hope to have them all out as quickly as I can! I will likely take a quick break in between the series to do a recap on Quicksilver. Who else is excited and ready for Brimstone to come out?!?!?!

Do you want a summary recap on A Soul of Ash and Blood (book #5 of the Blood & Ash series)? *Remember this book is mostly Cas's POV of his and Poppy's story, but some other things do happen too.*
