Fizz Hangout Weekly Discussion: August 22nd, 2025 (Patreon)

Welcome to the newest Fizz Hangout! Every Friday, you all can stop by the weekly Fizz Hangout post and ask questions (to us or to your fellow patrons), discuss recent bonus scenes and/or podcasts with each other, and catch up on all the goodies you might've missed!

HANGOUT QUESTION: we love seeing your response to questions about the Addictedverse, and it helps facilitate some awesome discussions! Each week, there'll be a new "hangout question" that you can answer in the comments, if you wish!

What's your reading status before Burn Bright -- Are you going into the book only having read some of the Addicted and Like Us Series? Have you read ALL the Addicted and Like Us Series? If you've already caught up on both series, have you also read ALL the bonuses here on Patreon? Or will Burn Bright be your very first book in the Addictedverse?

 Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! We are gearing up for the release of Burn Bright, which feels a lot different than our other releases. Maybe it's because we've been planning this series so long ago or it could be that it's the first time we took a big-big break from the Addictedverse, so coming back to it now feels a lot more like a warm hug than usual.

The pre-release stress is still there for sure! But it's subdued under the love we have for this book. It's unlike most of our books. Not only is it book 1 in a series, but it's a standalone. Which means that it probably has one of the most satisfying front cover to back cover storylines in our canon. Needless to say, we adore this book with out whole hearts.

We will be teasing more on the @addictedlikeuspod and on the "What to Expect in Burn Bright" Patreon Extra Podcast that will be dropping this month. Plus, the Monthly Podcast on Patreon is very Cobalt sibling-centric!

Some important dates to keep in mind for the rest of the year...
