Plot Twist, Please

Dark romance often comes with a long list of trigger warnings, but what about thrillers and horror? 👀 
This week, we’re discussing why expectations differ between genres, whether content warnings spoil the story, and when a warning starts sounding more like a selling point.
Do you check content warnings before reading, or prefer to go in blind?
Grab your drink and let’s sip, flip, and spill the tea! 📚🍸

In Part Two, we discuss author Elisabeth Wheatley’s controversial decision to remove explicit content from her previously published novels. Where does an author’s creative freedom end and what do they owe readers who already purchased the original books? We explore author agency, reader expectations, digital ownership, and the backlash that ultimately led to readers being given a choice between editions.
