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!

Which character in the Addictedverse (Addicted/Calloway Sisters, Like Us, Cobalt Empire) do you relate to the most?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & heroic beauties! Silver Sweet is getting closer and closer! Krista and I finally narrowed down the Spotify playlist for this one, and we can't wait to reveal it, hopefully sometime soon. We both realized we listened to a lot of the same songs while we were writing this one, which doesn't always happen.

A lot of the songs that we use for @kbr.universe posts (our aesthetics and quotes Instagram account) are ones we listened to while writing Silver Sweet, but not all end up making the cut for the playlist. We like scrolling through the account and listening to everything, since the vibes are definitely different between Burn Bright era of posting on the account and Silver Sweet. And it really reminds us of the two different "feels" of each book.

We hope you've been enjoying all the teases there if you have Instagram and like the little sneak peeks. Also, if you got an advance copy and left a review, thank you so much. They help us immensely, and the reviews for this one have been so good, I imagine even Tom would be shedding a tear. It's already put us on cloud nine before the release! 🥹

For those anticipating August 4th, thank you for your excitement!! We are going to use whatever superpowers we have to try to make the wait feel a little less long for you, and we're hoping Patreon makes the wait more bearable. We'll be recording podcasts soon, and you can expect bonuses as well, so you're about to be met with a lot of big content!
