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!

This week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli are bending the rules of time with Japanese Gothic by Kylie Lee Baker which is a dark, eerie story that connects two people living hundreds of years apart.
In the present day, Lee Turner flees to his father’s home in Japan after becoming convinced that he murdered his college roommate… except he has no memory of what he did with the body. Then there’s Sen, a young samurai living in 1877 under the brutal expectations of her father. Somehow, the two discover that a closet in their respective rooms allows them to see and communicate with each other across time and what begins as suspicion slowly turns into a bond neither of them expected. 
With gothic horror, time-bending supernatural weirdness, morally complicated characters, grief, samurai history, family trauma, and a friendship that somehow becomes the heart of it all, Japanese Gothic ended up being a major spooky-season win. Can a mysterious closet connecting two lonely people separated by more than a century actually fix your life? Stay tuned to find out.

This week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli are back with another Reddit Paranormal episode and this time, they’re heading beneath the streets of Paris.
After examining a chilling photo taken inside the Paris Catacombs, the hosts debate whether the mysterious woman in white standing at the end of a dark, blocked-off tunnel is a ghost, a trick of the light, or simply someone who has made the catacombs her home. Either way, Cheli wants absolutely nothing to do with her.
From underground residents and demonic movie theories to catacomb honeymoons, nonexistent Barnes & Nobles, and the one unexpected benefit of living below Paris, avoiding the IRS, Yajaira and Cheli spiral into the horrifying reality of being trapped inside nearly 200 miles of tunnels.
Would they ever visit the catacombs? Could security actually protect them? And what happens if the woman in white starts running toward them? Tune in as they rate the photo a terrifying 10 out of 10 on the spook meter and discover whether their instincts would tell them to fight, flee, or completely freeze.

This week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli are continuing spooky season with The Lamb by Lucy Rose, and apparently September has become the month of cannibalistic families.
The Lamb follows eleven-year-old Margot, who lives alone with her mother, Ruth, in an isolated cabin where lost travelers, known as “strays” have a habit of disappearing. To Margot, her mother’s hunger for human flesh is simply a normal part of life. She loves Ruth, wants desperately to understand her, and even hopes that one day she’ll feel the same hunger her mother does. But when a woman named Eden enters their lives and completely shifts the dynamic inside the house, Margot slowly begins to realize that maybe she doesn’t want to become her mother after all.
With an isolated cabin, a deeply dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship, cannibalism, childhood innocence, family secrets, toxic love, and plenty of unsettling horror, The Lamb is definitely not your average coming-of-age story. So, will this dark and disturbing tale of a girl questioning everything she’s ever known fix your life? Stay tuned to find out.

This week on The Book Fix Podcast, Yajaira and Cheli are back with another Reddit No Sleep story and this one is less traditionally spooky and more emotionally devastating. They dive into a chilling tale about a man whose soul is attacked by a mysterious parasite, causing him to experience his life completely out of order.
One moment he is meeting the love of his life, Mar, and the next he is discovering they have been married for years and share a child he does not remember. As he jumps unpredictably between first dates, parenthood, old age, and encounters with a grandson determined to save him, the story becomes a heartbreaking exploration of memory, love, grief, and whether knowing how everything ends would change the choices we make.
Yajaira and Cheli discuss the horrifying creature attached to the narrator’s mind, the bittersweet romance at the center of the story, and an ending that completely changes how they interpret everything that came before it. The conversation also gets deeply personal as they reflect on Alzheimer’s, aging, caring for loved ones, loneliness, and the importance of community. Prepare to be creeped out, emotionally wrecked, and possibly afraid of every forgotten name or misplaced memory.
