But I find it to be a much sexier novel because like you have women acting

on their feelings and being confused about their feelings and you get that perspective whereas with Mina and Lucy they feel quite flat and cut out and acted upon like Mina's always very like passive characters yeah exactly and I mean Mina's like the workhorse of that group but then like she gets sidelined before she can do anything but like be their secretary that's such an interesting way of talking about it because in that context it's like the woman has the power and therefore she must be evil

Did you watch a lot of vampire TV shows, movies, et cetera?

Well, the vampire is your beast, and then you as the beauty.

We work at Penguin.

Did you like Lyssa?

Did you like anyone?

No.

Okay.

I actually don't think that was ever a plot line.

Because he becomes Lyssa's, like, what are they called?

Guardian.

But that's because... And she saves him.

I'm looking over at the producer, Sinead, and she's like shocked and confused.

And I'm glad.

Except for Adelaide.

We need to shut Lit Witches down.

I'm sorry.

But also, did you just read book one?

So the further you go, the more Demetri you'll get.
