Episode 1 - LJ Smith: The Forbidden Game: The Hunter

Backlist: It is time, at long last, to return to the series Cyna and Ollie have been eagerly awaiting. We've mentioned it several times in the past, how far away it was, but the wait is over... It's 9 o'clock and Julian is here. That's right, get your game tables ready for LJ Smith's FORBIDDEN GAME. Starting us out is THE HUNTER. Not that titles matter. These three books are one big story, in our opinion.

Spoilers for books two and three start at 31:07. Skip to 44:56 to avoid!

Chill: Cyna is drinking Blue Curacao, Sprite, sour mix, cranberry juice, and Ollie back on that absinthe train with what they're calling a Community of Sorrow (Wollersheim Dancehall Absinthe Blanche + POM white tea with orange blossom, and a sugared rim). Pics! Cyna - Ollie.

Intro theme - "Let It In" by Josh Woodward.
