This week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli are taking Reddit NoSleep outside and somehow the mosquitoes and surprise bugs are only the beginning of the nightmare.
The story follows a woman who has spent three exhausting years caring for her husband, Mark, after a devastating accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. But when his shattered phone mysteriously appears several feet away from his bed, she begins to suspect that something—or someone—is moving through their home. Mark’s terrified expressions, bloodied fingers, and strange attempts to communicate only deepen the mystery.
Yajaira and Cheli unpack the devastating twist, debate whether the wife understands what she is doing, question how Mark managed to get the hidden phone, and compare the story’s disturbing dynamic to real cases of medical abuse. While the story earns only a four on the spookometer, its sadness level is an undeniable ten out of ten.
Was this a horror story about a dangerous caregiver, or a tragic portrait of someone whose love and trauma became impossible to separate?

This week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli are reviewing The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer, and suddenly, being unemployed doesn’t sound that bad.
Macy is desperate for work when she comes across an unusually well-paying caretaker job. The catch? When she arrives, she discovers there’s no elderly husband to care for at all. Instead, she’s being paid to stay alone in a remote house and follow a very specific set of bizarre rituals left behind by the woman’s late husband. Turn off the lights at the right time. Follow the instructions. Deal with the rabbits. And whatever happens, do not mess up because apparently these rituals might be the only thing standing between normal life and the end of the world.
So, would you take a suspiciously well-paying job in a creepy house if all you had to do was follow a few little rules? And more importantly… will this ritualistic, rule-based supernatural horror fix your life? Stay tuned to find out.

This week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli head into the woods for another Nick Cutter nightmare with The Troop, and this time, they’re recording from an actual spooky cabin for maximum immersion.
A group of teenage boyscouts heads to a remote island for what should be a normal weekend camping trip, but everything changes when a severely emaciated stranger appears at their cabin with an insatiable hunger. Their Scoutmaster, Tim, quickly realizes the man is infected with something horrifying, leaving the boys isolated with a rapidly spreading parasite, dwindling resources, and absolutely no adults left to save them. 
So, will this gruesome, claustrophobic survival horror filled with parasitic worms, childhood friendships, government experiments, and some truly stomach-turning scenes fix your life? Or will it just make you never want to go camping, or eat spaghetti, again? Stay tuned to find out!

This week on The Book Fix podcast, Yajaira and Cheli are diving into an ARC of The House of Gardenias by Isabel Cañas, and this gothic YA fantasy gave them A LOT to talk about.
Sixteen-year-old Minerva Treviño thinks she’s finally escaped the worst of her life when she leaves her abusive home to work for Encarnación del Valle. But when political violence forces them to flee to the isolated del Valle estate, Minerva quickly realizes the family drama may be the least terrifying thing hiding inside the house. Then we meet Ygnacio who is mysterious, ghostly, slightly unhinged, and somehow one of the most lovable parts of the entire book.
In this episode, the girls unpack the messy del Valle family, Minerva’s complicated loyalties, the political conflict happening outside the estate, the supernatural mystery surrounding the house, and the slow-building relationship between Minerva and Ygnacio that had them fully invested. Join the besties as they discuss whether or not they would recommend this book!
